Get Grounded for the Holidays
Episode 8: Biz Cush on Holiday Stress
Let’s just say it: The holidays can be hard. If the season gets you stressed out, listen to this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast. Listen in as Elizabeth Cush shares a guided meditation to help you get grounded.
“The goal here is not to disconnect from your thoughts or completely empty your mind.”
Show Notes:
The winter holiday season can be fun and exciting, a time to celebrate with loved ones. But the holidays aren’t a happy time for everyone. And even when you love the holidays, all that goes with them—trying to pick out the perfect gifts, getting the house ready for guests, meal planning and preparation, making it all dazzling—can create a lot of stress, even when you enjoy doing it. We can put ourselves under a lot of pressure—but it doesn’t have to be that way. In this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman, host Biz Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., and a mid-life women’s life coach, shares about holiday stress and how she handles it. She also offers a guided meditation to allow you to come back to yourself, be present in the moment, reduce any stress you might be feeling and let yourself feel more grounded at the holidays or any other time.
