It really is the most wonderful and busiest time of year. As a psychotherapist and mom of four, I know firsthand how the holidays can be equal parts joyful, overwhelming, and magical—sometimes all in the same hour. All Is Calmish is your invitation to slow down just enough to savor the season. With 31 short chapters designed to be read over a month, you’ll find daily inspiration, simple practices to calm your spirit, and heartfelt (and often humorous) stories that help you stay grounded in what matters most: more connection and less perfection.  If this is a spiritual season for you, my Soul-Full Season prompts offer quiet moments to connect and reflect.  All Is Calmish is also the perfect gift for anyone who could use a little extra joy and calm this holiday season. Here’s to doing this season a little differently—calmish style. Excited to share it with you! Please follow along for more tips all holiday long!

Just in case you needed me to simplify—here is my real answer. Hope it’s clear! (Part two from yesterday!)

Just say NO to the things that you know you don't want to do (the cards, that event with those people you'd rather not see, you know what it is!) so you can say YES to a holiday with less stress and more peace. https://www.nirofeliciano.com/calmish/

I’ve learned after 24 years in my field, 22 years of marriage, and 19 years as a mom—if you make the things that are most important most important, the rest will fall into place. Yes, it requires doing the work, setting the boundaries, seeking help when needed—and missing out on the good things to make room for the great things. I talk about all these ideas in the context of the holidays in All is Calm..ish, but they’re really the life lessons that serve as my GPS all year round.

The fall and winter months can be a busy time for families. Psychotherapist Niro Feliciano offers strategies from her book ALL IS CALMish on how to survive the hectic holiday season. ALL IS CALMish: https://www.nirofeliciano.com/calmish/
