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.
If you’re ready get your life back:
- to break free from depression and anxiety

30. Cozy in the Chaos: Use Words to Calm Seasonal Depression, Anxiety Symptoms, and Loneliness
Cozy in the Chaos - Words: in this episode we explore how the Words of Affirmation love language can become a powerful tool for calming seasonal depression, anxiety symptoms, PTSD triggers, loneliness, isolation, and guilt during the holidays. When your nervous system is overwhelmed, the right words—spoken softly, written down, or reflected through Scripture—can shift your body from threat to safety. This episode helps you understand why words matter, how they affect your physiology, and how to use them to feel grounded and connected again.
You’ll learn how hygge—the Danish practice of creating warmth, safety, and comfort—pairs beautifully with this love language. We explore simple ways to bring emotional grounding into your space: warm lighting, handwritten notes, gentle reminders placed where your eyes naturally land, spoken encouragement, devotional moments, and small rituals that help your body feel calm.
We close with Christmas-specific ideas for using Words of Affirmation to ease holiday triggers—like adding verse cards to your tree, writing yourself a Christmas blessing, or creating a “12 Days of Peace” encouragement countdown to support you through the hardest days.
If you’re longing for comfort, connection, or a sense of belonging in a season that can amplify loneliness or emotional pain, this episode offers gentle, practical tools for healing. Come breathe, settle, and remember that you are loved, held, and never alone.
