63: Mental Health, Boundaries, and Chronic Illness During the Holidays (S2 E30)

Описание: Not everyone experiences the holidays as happy — and that deserves to be said out loud.

The holidays can be joyful — and they can also be overwhelming, emotional, and physically draining, especially for those living with chronic illness or autoimmune disease. In this episode of Autoimmune Adventures, we’re having an honest, compassionate conversation about navigating the holiday season in a way that protects your mental health, honors your body, and supports your emotional well-being.

We talk about recognizing small moments of joy, acknowledging grief and loss that often surface during the holidays, setting boundaries without guilt, and choosing peace over pressure. We also discuss the importance of creating a mental health toolkit before the holiday season begins — so you’re not scrambling for support when stress, fatigue, or emotional overload hits.

This episode is for anyone who feels like the traditional holiday narrative doesn’t fit their reality. Whether you’re managing chronic illness, autoimmune disease, burnout, or grief, this conversation offers validation, practical tools, and gentle reminders that your needs matter — especially during the holidays.
