Together, we'll talk about giving ourselves permission to feel what's real not what we think we're supposed to feel and how we can gently shift our focus toward gratitude and small moments of joy.If the holidays bring up old wounds or just feel hard, you're not alone.

“You don't have to do it all this holiday season. Do the things that matter most to you.” - Tami Stackelhouse The holidays can be a difficult time of year for people living with fibromyalgia. Between shopping, cooking, decorating, family gatherings, and endless to-do lists, it's easy to push yourself too far and end up in a massive fibro flare. You want to show up for the people you love, but your body will remind you that there's only so much you can give. Luckily, a memorable holiday season doesn't just come from doing everything you've always done. Instead, it should be about doing what matters most. By learning to prioritize, pace yourself, and let go of the “shoulds,” you can create a season that's joyful and supportive of your health instead of draining it. As we head towards the holidays, take your time, slow down, choose what feels right for you, and give yourself permission to rest without guilt. In this episode, Tami talks about why it's time to start thinking about navigating the holiday season, balancing energy and prioritizing what matters, planning buffer/recovery days before and after events, fibro-friendly food strategies, tips for eating safely, setting boundaries, mindset shifts for a less stressful holiday, time-savers to reduce stress this holiday season, why you should think ahead about dressing for comfort and creating a sensory-friendly environment for yourself, the impact of focusing on meaningful decorations and simplifying your holiday decor, the importance of accepting help, prioritizing joy over holiday “shoulds,” letting go of old traditions and creating new ones, and more. You'll also get a sneak peek into the upcoming Living Well with Fibromyalgia Summit: Holiday Edition, featuring talks from Certified Fibromyalgia Coaches® on areas like balancing commitments, setting boundaries, and creating joyful new traditions. Note: This episode is not meant to be medical advice. Every person and every situation is unique.

The holidays are a magical time, but they can also bring stress and pressure, especially when navigating alcohol-filled social events.Remember, staying sober during the holiday season is entirely your choice. No one can force you to drink, and if someone does, you have the right to decline or even skip the event altogether. You're an adult, and your sobriety is important.Tips for Staying Sober this Holiday SeasonReflect on Past Experiences: Whether it's an embarrassing memory or a painful hangover, use past experiences to remind yourself why you chose sobriety.Bring Your Own Drinks: Samantha advises bringing your own non-alcoholic beverages to social gatherings. "It's your own prerogative to have fun without the influence of alcohol," she says.Set Boundaries and Leave if Necessary: If a situation becomes uncomfortable or too tempting, it's okay to leave. "We're adults," she emphasizes. "You can make the decision not to attend or to leave early if it's best for your sobriety."Surround Yourself with Support: Engage with other sober individuals, whether it's through AA meetings, social media communities, or sober podcasts. Samantha highlights the importance of finding a supportive community, noting that there are resources available everywhere—from TikTok to Audible books on sobriety.Listen to the episode HUNGOVER HERE: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1836116/episodes/15292622-hungoverLET'S DO DRY JANUARY TOGETHER!

Together, they tackle how to let go of perfection, manage holiday stress, and create a warm, joyful environment for your family. Marcela emphasizes the importance of planning ahead, embracing simplicity, and focusing on the energy you bring to your home during the holidays. She also offers practical tips for cleaning, entertaining, and even engaging reluctant teens. Marcella Valladolid is an Emmy nominated chef, television personality, designer, and author. Author and mother. She has hosted shows like Food Network's The Kitchen and Mexico Made Easy and written five best selling cookbooks. As a busy mom of three, she is also a master of cleaning up after kitchen messes, which is why she now serves as the cleaning ambassador at Pinulin, Chloralyn and Ensueno Laundry. Marcela highlights the importance of letting go of unrealistic expectations. Instead of striving for a picture-perfect holiday, focus on the feelings and memories you create. Practical advice includes starting holiday prep early, sticking to recipes you know well, and cleaning as you go to avoid feeling overwhelmed. For entertaining, she suggests menus with forgiving dishes like casseroles or lasagna, which can be prepared ahead of time, and setting a formal table to make any gathering feel special. Marcela also shares creative ideas, like adding games or piñatas with prizes, to engage teenagers and make the holidays more fun for everyone. Three key takeaways: First, your energy as a mom sets the tone for the holidays—prioritize joy over perfection and trust that your efforts are creating lasting memories for your family. Second, practical planning, such as cleaning high-traffic areas in advance and delegating tasks to your partner or guests, can make the holidays far less stressful. Finally, remember that teens might not always show enthusiasm, but the love and effort you put into the season will resonate with them over time.

In this episode of This is Getting Old: Moving Towards an Age-Friendly World, I'm joined by Nancy (Dangle) and Kat (Dot), two incredible women with valuable insights into dementia care. Together, we explore the emotional challenges of caregiving, particularly how important non-verbal communication can be when building meaningful connections with loved ones living with dementia. Nancy shares her personal experience with Alzheimer's disease, discussing the power of physical touch, eye contact, and simply being present. We also talk about the importance of inclusion and how small gestures—like inviting someone to a gathering without the pressure to attend—can help combat the isolation often felt by people with dementia. Kat offers advice on how caregivers can create a positive environment by being grounded and aware of their energy. We wrap up with practical tips for caregivers, including how simple, meaningful gifts like shared experiences can make a lasting impact during the holidays. Tune in for heartwarming stories and tips on how to approach dementia care with empathy and connection.
