Summary

Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ ⁠LEARN HOW:⁠  https://www.yourbreakawake.com/journalspeak⁠ No matter how you slice it or how much you enjoy them, the holidays have the capacity to increase nervous system dysregulation. In this episode, we look at why symptoms often increase around the holidays and how personal boundaries can reduce that pattern. When you take on more than you can emotionally manage—or stay silent to keep the peace—the nervous system absorbs the strain, which can lead to pain, fatigue, anxiety, and other TMS-related symptoms. Join me as we discuss how clear limits, honest communication, and recognizing your actual capacity can interrupt that cycle. You’ll learn why your body reacts the way it does this time of year, and how small changes in what you agree to can lead to meaningful symptom relief.
