December’s Healing Series – The Gentle Return

November 30, 2025 • New York Girl Again • Season 1 • Episode 25

December can feel heavy for former caregivers.

While the world rushes into celebration, many of us struggle with grief, longing, disorientation, and the ache of no longer knowing where we fit.

In this opening episode of The Healing Series, Thérèse invites you into a softer, more compassionate way of moving through this month — not with pressure, perfection, or forced resolutions, but with courage, awareness, and the quiet work of coming home to yourself.

This episode explores:

✨ Why December feels so emotionally intense in The After
✨ What “The Gentle Return” truly looks like after caregiving
✨ How to reconnect with your needs, your body, and your identity
✨ A simple daily practice to begin honoring yourself again
✨ Why you are not behind — you’re becoming

Healing doesn’t require a grand transformation — it begins with one small, intentional step back toward yourself.

If this episode speaks to your heart, I invite you to follow along all December as we continue The Healing Series.
