346. Why Christmas Feels Magical (And How to Live That Way All Year)

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a story that unexpectedly changed the way I experienced Christmas this year — and I think it might change yours too.

A moment that began with holiday pressure, mental clutter, and the urge to “do more” turned into a powerful reminder of how most of us are actually living… and why so many women feel heavy, stuck, or disconnected during what’s supposed to be a magical season.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, emotionally cluttered, unmotivated, or like something inside you is asking for space — this episode is for you.

• The moment I didn’t go Christmas shopping — and why that choice changed everything
  

• How physical clutter often mirrors emotional clutter on the inside
  

• Why so many women feel “off” during the holidays (even when everything looks fine)
  

• The two nervous system states we live in:
  

• Survival Mode (sympathetic) — rushed, stressed, reactive, numb, or shut down
  

• Creation Mode (parasympathetic) — open, grounded, creative, joyful, connected
  

• Why most of us are living in survival mode without realizing it
  

• How unprocessed emotions don’t disappear — they turn into exhaustion, resentment, numbness, and overwhelm
  

• The emotional “backpack” we keep stuffing instead of unpacking
  

• A real-life parenting moment with my adventurous 13-year-old that illustrates how quickly we attach to stress — and how to release it faster
  

• Why your body cannot thrive in chronic fight-or-flight (and what that means for your health, joy, and relationships)
  

• How Christmas “magic” isn’t seasonal — it’s the emotional state we were designed to live in
  

• Why emotions don’t need months of analysis — they often need just a few minutes of presence
  

• How acknowledging what you’re holding instead of resisting it allows your nervous system to soften and reset
  

• The spiritual truth of Emmanuel — God with us — and what it means for your everyday emotional life
  

• Why you can’t create a life you love from survival mode
  

• How shifting your inner state changes how the world responds to you
