Holiday Sanity Guide
A simple, heartfelt way to stay grounded, honest, and connected this Christmas.
Every year the holidays promise joy…
and yet so many of us enter the season already bracing ourselves.
We carry old hurts we never meant to pack.
We want to feel peace, but instead we feel pressure.
We want connection, but we quietly prepare for impact.
You are not broken for feeling this way.
You are human.
And your heart is speaking—longing to be heard, guided, and cared for.
The Holiday Sanity Guide was created for that very purpose.
A Guide That Helps You Be Who You Were Made to Be… Even During the Holidays
Inside this beautiful, practical workbook, you’ll find gentle, structured invitations to:
• Prepare emotionally, not just logistically, for the holidays
As your guide reminds, serenity doesn’t happen by accident; it comes through intention (page 1) .
• Understand what your heart remembers, and why certain moments trigger you
The explanation of the “timeless” limbic brain (pages 2–3) helps you name what rises inside you before you even know why.
• Tell the truth about what you feel
Sadness, hurt, fear, shame, loneliness, guilt, gladness - your emotional honesty is the doorway back to sanity.
• Grieve what you cannot change
Guided worksheets help you name sadness with childlike simplicity (pages 9–10), making room for real acceptance.
• Recognize your longings - especially the longing for home
You’ll reflect on the smells, sounds, tastes, and moments your heart aches for (pages 11–12).
• Identify the needs you’ve stopped tending because you’re managing others
This guide compassionately shows where you’ve traded your own heart’s care for someone else’s comfort (page 13).
• Create a plan for a sane holiday season
From simple grounding practices to honest boundaries, you’ll build a path toward peace (pages 14–15).
• Orient yourself toward the person you want to be on January 3rd
Your “North Star” reflection (page 20) brings clarity to the story you want to live.
This is not a workbook about fixing your family.
It’s a workbook about finding yourself again—so you can live the season with courage, serenity, and hope.
