The holidays can be loud, and sometimes the pressure to perform drowns out what actually helps. In this episode I pull a field moment from clinic work, unpack what Blue Zones and the Harvard Study of Adult Development teach us about connection, and explain why small, repeated acts of service change how you feel and how your body holds up over time.

No grand gestures, no guilt. Three tiny, time-boxed actions you can try to help make you feel more alive this week.
