Hey, I’m Lori. A single dog mom, lover of nature, and PTSD survivor.
For years, I struggled with social isolation, severe depression, crippling anxiety, and clinical burnout. I tried powering through, toughing it out, and being strong only for my symptoms to worsen.
I finally realized that if I was going to get my life back, things needed to change. I learned how to ask for help, set boundaries, and changed my thinking patterns. I removed toxins from my diet, home, and relationships. And, in time, I found my purpose, rediscovered my joy, and was able to reconnect with those I love.
Today, I lead a life filled with hope, meaning, and joy. Even on those tough days, I have a purpose that keeps me moving forward.

27. Holidays Causing Anxiety? 6 Steps to Build Your Holiday Overwhelm Survival Guide
The holidays can trigger more than joy — for many people, this season brings seasonal depression, overwhelm, anxiety symptoms, loneliness, and emotional exhaustion. If you’re feeling disconnected, overstimulated, or quietly struggling while everyone else seems merry, this episode is for you.
We talk about why your mind becomes noisy under stress and how to begin quieting the mind, calming the body, and finding moments of peace even when you're dealing with depression, isolation, guilt, or avoidance.
You’ll learn gentle, practical tools to help you:
Ease seasonal depression and emotional heaviness
Navigate holiday overwhelm without shutting down
Understand and soothe anxiety symptoms before they spiral
Work through loneliness and isolation in compassionate ways
Support your mental health during complicated family or relationship moments
Release guilt around resting, canceling plans, or setting boundaries
Shift out of avoidance without feeling ashamed
Be able to reconnect with your values, your breath, and your nervous system
Create small rituals of peace when the holidays feel too loud
This is a soft place to land if you’re tired of pretending you’re okay. There’s no pressure to be cheerful or “get it together.” Just real, honest support from someone who understands trauma, overwhelm, and the desire to feel safe in your own body again.
🕊️ You’re not alone. You’re not behind. You’re not failing.You’re a human doing your best in a season that asks a lot.
