Holiday Survival 101: Stress, Triggers, Drama and Emotional Overwhelm

#180 - Sometimes fun AF, warm, loving and memorable—but often triggering, exhausting, lonely, and painful. Navigating the holiday season isn’t always fun-fun for everyone. In this HOTLINE Episode, Louise dives into two wildly relatable listener submissions: tackling triggering family dynamics, the loneliness of outgrowing old friendships, and finding ways to stay calm, cool, and balanced amidst the family chaos of going home for the holidays. This episode is packed with personal stories, practical strategies, and an important reminder: it’s not your job to change your family—especially when they don’t want to change. No matter how tough the holidays feel, it’s okay if it’s not the “best holiday ever.” Whether you’re spending the season with family, friends, or solo, this is your reminder that it’s just a season—and you’ve got this. 🌟 🤍 FOLLOW LOUISE / HEALING HONEYS 🤍 https://www.youtube.com/@healinghoneys  https://www.instagram.com/iamlouiserumball/ https://www.tiktok.com/@healinghoneys_  https://www.instagram.com/healinghoneys/ 🎵 RELATED EPISODES 🎵 → Episode 135 - How to survive the holiday season ft.

Om Podcasten

Healing Honeys is your modern guide to wellness and healing. This is *the* podcast for girls with big dreams who are trying to balance it all and heal along the way. Join Louise Rumball—serial entrepreneur, fiery Sagittarius, type-A overachiever, healing girlie, holistic wellness coach, and relationship expert (someone once called her the "Jesus of modern dating" so you know this is going to be fun). Louise’s healing journey has been anything but calm. Think: savage dating stories, harrowing breakups, 20 cigarettes a day, daddy issues, an anxious attachment style, and even an autoimmune disorder too. Fast forward to today, after spending thousands on healing and therapy, she’s here to guide you, love you, and laugh with you as she shares the tips, tricks, and rituals that saved her—and that ACTUALLY work. With new episodes every Wednesday, expect girl talk, psychology, nervous system insights, and conversations about love, sex, dating, wellness, fitness, a touch of business, and a sprinkle of spirituality too. So, get in, honey—we’re balancing healing, hustling, and life, and trust us, the best is yet to come!
