EP 76 Surviving the Holidays Masterclass

The holidays are supposed to be the most joyful time and in reality often bring a mix of emotions—stress, anxiety, loneliness, and family dynamics that can feel overwhelming. This workshop provides a supportive space to explore and acknowledge these real feelings, giving participants tools to manage holiday challenges with greater resilience. You will learn how to embrace the season with intention and self-compassion, finding ways to thrive rather than simply survive. Join us to create a holiday experience that aligns with your values, strengthens your emotional well-being, and fosters meaningful connections. As a bonus, Dr. Borger will deliver a powerful HeartHealing™ session for the group, aimed at increasing feelings of enoughess and healing deep childhood “enoughness wounds”.   Dr. Judith Borger Links: www.theaestheticdoctor.com www.instagram.com/doctorborger
