Holidays can feel like a tug-of-war between gratitude and pressure, especially for first‑gen Latinas navigating old roles, noisy questions, and the invisible load of keeping everyone comfortable. We decided to rewrite the script. Together we map a softer Thanksgiving built on presence, nervous system care, and boundaries that are kind, clear, and non-negotiable.
We start by reframing gratitude as more than a list. Gratitude becomes presence—choosing softness, honoring courage and healing, and letting go of guilt and overgiving. From there, we name the big triggers: body comments disguised as concern, nosy questions about dating, babies, degrees, or money, the automatic expectation to cook, translate, serve, and soothe, and the guilt trips about “changing.” Then we get practical. You’ll hear short scripts you can use word-for-word: “I’m not talking about my body today,” “I’m keeping that private this year,” “I can help with one thing, not everything,” and “I love you, but I’m not available for that conversation.” We also walk through time boundaries—deciding your arrival and exit, taking breaks, and leaving early with a soft “Gracias por todo, me voy a descansar.”
We bring in nervous system tools you can use the moment you park the car: a simple 4-2-6 breath, a rose‑gold energetic shield, and three anchoring affirmations—“I choose peace. I choose presence. I choose myself.” We laugh about burnt turkeys turned into tamales, barbacoa slow cookers, the cousin who brings a soda and leaves with four plates, and the relative dancing la iguana. Humor sits beside healing, and both are welcome.
Most of all, we zoom out: your rest is a prayer, your no is a revolution, and your gratitude is an altar for the ancestors who could not set these limits. You’ll leave with five journaling prompts to plan your boundaries, protect your energy, and show up as the you that feels true. If this speaks to your corazón, tap follow, share it with someone who needs a gentler holiday, and leave a quick review to help more listeners find the show.
