December has a very specific kind of burnout — and it shows up in ways most people don’t talk about. If you’ve been more tired than usual, more emotional, or overwhelmed by money pressure, decision fatigue, and the constant push to “be on,” this episode will feel like finally putting words to what you’ve been carrying.

In today’s conversation, Katharine is breaking down the invisible weight of December: the emotional pressure of giving, the money anxiety that creeps in at night, the endless micro-decisions that drain your energy, and even the work Christmas party stress that forces you to socialize when your nervous system is already done for the day.

This is the real-life December experience — not the polished version people pretend to have.

You’ll learn:

• Why December burnout feels different from regular stress

• How money pressure and identity pressure get tangled this month

• The story underneath holiday spending that quietly fuels anxiety

• A simple 2-question filter that protects your energy and your boundaries

• A 10-minute reset for the late-night spiral when your brain won’t shut off

• Why you feel like you’ve got “47 tabs open in your mind” — and how to close them

• Three practical money moves that reduce regret and create real relief

• A work-party micro-plan so you can show up without draining yourself

This episode is designed to leave you feeling calmer, clearer, and more in control — not with fluffy advice, but with grounded tools you can use today.

If you’ve been carrying a lot quietly, you’re not alone. And you don’t need a perfect December. You need a December you can actually enjoy – after all, isn't that the whole point?

If this episode helps you, please share it with one person who needs the reminder that nothing is wrong with them — it’s just a heavy month, and there are better ways to move through it.

Are you feeling overwhelmed… even when nothing is “wrong”?
Are you tired even after a full night’s sleep?
Does it feel like your nervous system is operating on constant alert?

You’re not imagining it.
We are living in what psychologists now call a pressure cooker world — a reality where emotional load, global tension, identity shifts, and AI-driven acceleration are happening faster than our minds and bodies were designed to process.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why life feels so intense right now

• The pressure stack (global → economic → technological → personal)

• How nervous system dysregulation is showing up as fatigue, anxiety, irritability, or numbness

• The difference between strength and genuine resilience

• How to rebuild your identity during high-change seasons

• Using AI as a co-pilot instead of a source of overwhelm

• Practical self-regulation practices you can use today

This is a grounded conversation for people who are:
• in a reinvention chapter
• moving through emotional recovery
• navigating midlife identity shifts
• or simply trying to stay human in a fast world

If your heart has been whispering, “Something has to change,”
this episode is your turning point.
