If December feels like emotional cardio, carrying theschedules, the expectations, the memories, the magic-making, and everyone else’s feelings, you’re not weak. You’re overloaded.
In this episode, Dr. Tanya Berfield explores soul love, notthe romantic, performative kind, but the grounded, nervous-system-regulating love that allows you to soften without falling apart.
You’ll learn why emotional overload isn’t a mindset problem,but a capacity issue…how guilt, shame, perfectionism, and over-functioning quietly drain yourenergy…and how soul love becomes the antidote that helps you finally let go—without abandoning yourself or others.
This episode includes:
-A powerful reflection on healing your relationship with yourself
-Insight into how your inner emotional frequency shapes your relationships
-Three simple, somatic practices for the holidays:
-A gratitude softening practice
-A grace pause to interrupt guilt and over-giving
-A heart-release breath to calm emotional overload in real time
If you’re tired, tender, or emotionally crispy around theedges—this episode is your permission to slow down, soften, and choose yourself with compassion.

In this wonderful conversation, Dr. Tanya Berfield sits down with artist and author Maureen Burdock to explore Sleepless Planet, a graphic novel that captures what so many women, leaders, and humans have been quietly carrying: anxiety, relentless thinking, and the emotional weight that robs us of rest.
Together, they dive into:
The real stories behind Sleepless Planet
How art becomes a pathway to truth, compassion, and regulation
The connection between storytelling and nervous system healing
Why this book is the perfect mindful gift for the holidays
The intersection of creativity, grief, and resilience
This episode feels like a deep breath for anyone who’s been performing calm on the outside while swirling on the inside.
And, because timing is everything, consider this your sign: Sleepless Planet makes a meaningful Christmas gift for the women in your life who need to feel seen.
You can also grab the Radical Resilience Book Bundle (book + workbook + audio journey) for your own end-of-year reset.
This meditation is for the woman whose chest feels tight, whose shoulders are tired, and whose nervous system is gripping for dear life as the holiday season ramps up. If you’ve been holding your breath since Thanksgiving… if you’ve been carrying the emotional weight of everyone around you… if you’ve been trying to hold it all together while quietly falling apart, this is your moment to soften.
In this episode of Mindset Medicine with Dr. Tanya Berfield, we’re stepping into December’s theme: letting go.
Not the cute Pinterest version. The real kind.
The kind your body resists because perfection once kept you safe. The kind your ancestors rehearsed. The kind your nervous system thinks will break everything.
This meditation guides you through:
✨ Releasing the emotional and ancestral grip in your chest, jaw, and shoulders
✨ Understanding why letting go feels unsafe
✨ Softening patterns of control rooted in fear, pressure, and old survival codes
✨ Activating the message of the “Soul Love” oracle card, shifting from judgment to compassion, from fear to love
✨ Returning to presence, inner safety, and your truest self
If you need permission to stop holding everything and everyone together… if you need space to breathe… if you need a moment of calm inside the chaos of December. This meditation is for you.
This is your invitation to soften. To surrender. To let go.

For so many of us, the fear of loss runs our lives. Not justthe fear of heartbreak, but the fear of being truly on our own. Who will help if the car breaks down? If the bills pile up? If the diagnosis isn’t what we hoped for?
In this solo teaching episode, I explore how fear of lossshapes our stories and keeps us searching for wholeness outside ourselves. Guided by this month’s tarot spread, Three of Swords, Queen of Cups, Nine of Pentacles, and Justice, we’ll walk the path from heartbreak to sovereignty, and from fear to freedom.
I’ll also share a practical somatic tool using the Sea ofTranquility acupressure point to calm the body and remind your nervous system: I am safe. I am open. I am whole.

✨Why perfectionism and masks keep us stuck in survival mode
✨The courage it takes to move from “good enough” to true greatness
✨What we lose (misalignment, toxic patterns, false faces) and what we gain (freedom, joy, and prosperity) when we finally choose alignment
