About this listen

The holidays should be cozy — but for a lot of us they're a stress test. In this episode the Movement Is Medicine hosts tackle how to survive (and even thrive during) the holiday season. From sleepless nights with toddlers and ADHD brain noise to one-hundred-burpee traditions, we cover practical strategies you can actually use: keep a consistent routine, prioritize sleep and sunlight, move smart (yes, even burpees), meal-prep and favor vegetables when travel makes everything harder, and set compassionate but firm boundaries with family.

We also dig deeper: why holidays amplify old identities and unresolved dynamics, how "pain is a passenger" shapes behavior, and ways to reframe uncomfortable holiday rituals into curiosity, new traditions, or intentional acts of connection. Honest, funny, and real — this episode is for anyone who wants sanity, permission to feel, and a plan for the season.

Key takeaways: keep your routine, get sunlight, lean on exercise and friends, hold boundaries (but allow for growth), and trade consumerism for meaningful ritual.
