It’s the annual Thanksgiving episode! In this episode I talk about all the “big feelings” that can come up during this holidays that can not only derail our enjoyment but they can shed light on old hurts or disappointments that need to be healed, past traumas can get triggered and our quest for perfection with this season that can be simply too much to live up to – especially when we have to factor in all the other family members or other people that are part of our holidays.
I also talk about how while we have plenty of data to support a gratitude practice being overall a very positive habit there are times when gratitude may not work well for us. When we are overwhelmed or burnt out, gratitude can instead of helping lead us to feeling guilty and have us skipping over processing important but often hard emotions. I hope this episode helps you have much happier holidays!

Did you know that 95% of women taking a prenatal are still nutrient deficient? The founders of Needed saw this as a big problem and I couldn’t agree more! But Needed quickly became a bigger solution to a bigger problem by providing more options for moms and moms to be. Women need so much support during the time from thinking about getting pregnant all the way to having little ones and so often they are left with options that don’t address their needs (prenatals that have nutrients in the wrong forms or that they can’t take due to nausea) or they are left with low energy, anxiety or even colds/flus while they are pregnant or nursing because there aren’t natural products that are considered safe during these times. Needed solved all of these problems as well as created a community of no-guilt, education and support for new moms and moms to be.
