Caring for Your Mental Health During the Holidays

The holiday season is often described as joyful and magical — but for many women, it can also feel stressful, emotional, lonely, overwhelming, or tender. In this episode of the Bloom & Beyond Podcast, Coach Courtney talks openly about why mental health challenges tend to show up during the holidays, why your feelings are valid, and how to take care of yourself with compassion and intention. You’ll learn: ✨ Why emotions feel bigger this time of year ✨ Common reasons people struggle (even when everything looks “happy”) ✨ How memories, expectations, and busyness impact your mental health ✨ Practical ways to support yourself — without guilt or pressure ✨ Simple habits to stay grounded, calm, and emotionally regulated ✨ A reminder that you’re not alone in what you’re feeling If the holidays bring up mixed emotions — joy and sadness, excitement and overwhelm — this conversation is for you. You deserve support, rest, kindness, and space to feel what’s real. Thank you for listening. Your mental and emotional well-being matters — today and always.
