The holidays can bring joy, connection, and comfort, but they can also awaken old memories, family dynamics, and nervous system responses we thought we had outgrown.

In this episode of Faith in Focus: A Moment for Your Mind, Coach Gigi invites you into a slower, wiser way of showing up at home for the holidays. Through Scripture, lived experience, and gentle psychological insight, this conversation explores what it means to move from survival to stewardship, to stay present without shrinking, and to regulate your body without rushing your healing.

You will learn how renewal begins in the mind, how memory lives in the body, and why wisdom sometimes looks like pacing yourself, setting boundaries, and letting certain fires cool before touching them again.

This episode is for anyone who loves their family, has grown in faith and maturity, and is learning how to remain steady in familiar spaces.

Healing is holy.
