A survival guide for sensitive souls, boundary beginners, and burnt-out givers.
Family drama. Social anxiety. Holiday chaos. Sound familiar?
Between unsolicited life advice from relatives, awkward small talk with people you kind of remember from middle school, and trying not to melt into a puddle of anxiety during the group photo, it’s a wonder anyone gets through the holiday season without hiding under the table with a tray of Lindt truffles.
The Mindful Feast is your hilarious, heartfelt survival guide for navigating the social chaos of the season—while keeping your cool, your boundaries, and your ability to make it through dinner without snapping at Uncle Barry.
It brings humor and real-talk honesty to the sticky stuff: family gathering anxiety, holiday stress, emotional regulation when someone says “Let’s go around and share what we’re grateful for,” and how to actually enjoy being around humans again.
Inside, you’ll find:
- Science-backed mindfulness tools to keep you grounded when the gravy boat hits turbulence
- Gentle, funny prompts to help you set boundaries without burning bridges
- Conversation detours that steer you away from politics and back to sanity
- A bonus chapter on mindful eating (yes, even with Aunt Tasha watching your plate like a hawk)
- Plus: Printable worksheets, a phone-friendly pocket guide, and other support tools so helpful it’s harder not to use them
This is not about becoming a perfectly poised holiday guru. It’s about conscious celebration—choosing presence over pressure, peace over performance, and real joy over people-pleasing.
If you’ve ever googled “how to not cry at family dinner,” this book is for you.
