Sometimes regulation doesn’t happen in a meditation room — it happens in bathrooms, meetings, and family dinners. This simple EFT tapping point offers a gentle, on-the-go way to calm your nervous system. It won’t heal everything, but it can support you coming back to yourself in real time.

The holidays can stir up old family dynamics, unspoken expectations, and nervous system responses you thought you’d outgrown. If being around family feels activating, heavy, or emotionally complex, you’re not alone. This gentle, somatic-informed guide explores how to navigate holiday family triggers with realistic expectations, embodied self-care, and compassion—so you can move through the season feeling more grounded, present, and connected to yourself.

Have you ever had a heavy day, then someone smiles at you on the street — and suddenly, you find yourself smiling too? That’s a glimmer. A tiny spark of life that reminds your nervous system it’s safe to soften again. When we start to notice these micro-moments of beauty, we begin to re-pattern our brain toward peace, joy, and connection. This isn’t bypassing pain — it’s remembering that light and shadow can coexist, and that healing begins by noticing what’s already here.
