How to Stay Yourself When Everyone Needs You - Chronic Health Collective S2 Ep9

#ChronicHealthCollective #PresencePeacePurpose #HolidayWellness

Tomorrow night is not just another episode of the Chronic Health Collective. It’s a warm blanket, a deep breath, and a reminder that you are still you beneath the chaos of the holidays, the family dynamics, the expectations, and the quiet pressure to be everything for everyone. This week, three extraordinary women open the door to a conversation we all need — especially in December: ✨ Leandra Frey — Life & Dating Coach ✨ Jessica Hammock — Trauma Recovery & Identity Transformation Coach ✨ Kelly Fox — Fearless Generations Life Coach Together, they take us into the heart of what so many women carry but rarely say out loud: How do I show up for my family without losing myself? How do I stay present when everyone needs me? How do I protect my peace when the room triggers everything I worked so hard to heal? 🌟 Inside This Panel — the Real Talk That Hits Home This episode digs into the truth we often avoid acknowledging during the holidays: 💛 The expectations we carry — of ourselves and others — and how they quietly drain us Jessica shares how unchecked expectations can create emotional overload, and how a simple 15-minute reflection on your calendar can save you from overwhelm. 💛 The pressure to host, attend, smile, perform, and “be on” even when your nervous system is screaming for rest Kelly opens up about managing a big family, giving kids space, setting boundaries, and understanding everyone’s emotional capacity — including your own. 💛 Bringing new people into holiday spaces — and why intentionality matters more than ever Leandra shares how to welcome new partners, how to reduce anxiety by arriving early, and why having an exit strategy is not selfish — it’s self-respect. 💛 Trauma, triggers… or as Jessica beautifully reframes it, “activations” She guides us through recognizing what activates our nervous system — sounds, smells, conversations, even certain people — and how to honor your body’s signals instead of suppressing them. 💛 Why you can’t measure your worth by how much you do This panel reminds you that you don’t owe anyone superhuman stamina, endless emotional labor, or perfection. Your presence is enough. 💫 The Moments That Stay With You One of the most powerful moments in this episode comes near the end, when each woman answers one tender question: “When a woman lays her head on her pillow at night… what do you want her to know?” Leandra: I want her to feel love. The warm kind. The kind that fills your chest. Kelly: I want her to know she is enough — however the day went, however she showed up. Jessica: I want her to remember she is worth doing the work — worth healing, worth resting, worth choosing herself. These words alone are worth tuning in for. 🎄 If the holidays stretch you thin… this conversation is your lifeline. If you’ve ever: • stayed too long at a gathering because you didn’t want to disappoint someone • said “yes” when your heart whispered “please say no” • played the peacekeeper at the expense of your own peace • left a family event feeling more exhausted than connected • carried the invisible emotional load no one sees… …then tomorrow night, this panel will feel like someone finally turned toward you and said: “I see you. And you matter too.” 📅 Tomorrow | 🕖 7 PM CST | 📺 Live on E360TV Let’s walk into the holidays with more presence, more peace, and more purpose — together. #ChronicHealthCollective #PresencePeacePurpose #HolidayWellness #EmotionalHealthMatters #WomenSupportingWomen #HealFromTheInsideOut #ProtectYourPeace #AlignedLiving #PurposefulLiving #StayTrueToY#HolidayOverwhelm #FamilyTriggers #HolidayExpectations #SurvivingTheHolidays #PeacefulHolidaysAhead #EmotionalResilience
