The holidays create a perfect storm for stress and emotional reactivity and sobriety.

Your reward system may still be healing.

Your stress circuitry is more sensitive.

Your routine is disrupted.

And old family roles in comparisons.

Drain your patients fast.

Most importantly in this episode, I will teach you how to regulate

before the stress hits so that you're not constantly trying to recover from emotional overload.

This is the foundation of real stress resilience in sobriety. And before we dig in, I'd like to

take a moment to thank my sponsors who made this episode possible.

Now that we actually feel our stress instead of numbing it, the evenings can hit a lot harder.

You know that tired but wired feeling where you want to rest, but your brain just will not slow down?

That's when I reach for Tenasi.

Their CBD-CBDA formula has always

helped calm my nervous system when anxiety is preventing me from falling asleep. But now their

soft gels just got an upgrade. They added omega-3s which support brain health, mood, and inflammation.

As sober people, we spend so much time rebuilding our health from the inside out.

And while Tanasi can't help you with the emotional work that you are doing in sobriety,

they can help quiet stress so that you can rest, and the Omega-3s can help your brain and body

recover from years of running on fumes.

And if you're not a soft gel person, then they also have gummies, tinctures, and more.

They're THC-free, easy-to-take, and part of my nightly wind-down routine.
