How to Thrive During the Pressure of the Holidays | The Calm Under Pressure Podcast**

The holiday season arrives like a beautiful storm—full of light, meaning, and moments that matter… yet often wrapped in expectations, noise, and emotional weight. In this episode, we explore what it looks like not just to survive the holidays, but to thrive in them with clarity, grounding, and inner steadiness.

You’ll discover how seasonal pressure impacts the brain, why the amygdala goes into overdrive, and how simple 60-second nervous-system resets can reawaken your peace. We dive into the neuroscience behind stress, the power of micro-pauses, and the surprising role compassion plays in calming your internal world.

Filled with mindful practices, grounding insights, and an invitation to reclaim your presence, this episode helps you step into the holidays with more grace, clarity, and intention.

If you’re craving a gentler rhythm — one led not by pressure but by presence — this episode will meet you there.
