The Christmas Lights Were Too Bright — So I Hid in the Bathroom | Ep 76.mp3

Описание: Episode 76: The Christmas Lights Were Too Bright — So I Hid in the Bathroom










A holiday party. Too much light. Too much sound. Too many expectations.






In this storytelling episode, Blaze shares a personal moment of shutdown — and the quiet clarity that came after.






This episode is for anyone who’s ever slipped away from the noise and hidden in a bathroom stall just to breathe. It offers deep emotional resonance, validation for sensory overload, and a reminder that needing quiet doesn’t make you broken — it makes you human.






Emotional takeaway: Sensory needs aren’t weaknesses. They’re wisdom — and honoring them is an act of self-trust.
