Do you know that the holidays are supposed to be joyful and cheerful, but too often, they become stressful?

The holidays are meant to bring warmth, connection, and joy, but for many of us, they bring pressure, exhaustion, and overwhelm instead.

Between endless to-do lists, family expectations, and the pressure to make everything perfect, we often lose sight of what the season is really about: connection, peace, and presence.

In this episode, Coach Elix and Steven dive into the neuroscience of holiday stress, why our brains go into overdrive, and how small mindset shifts and healthy boundaries can bring back balance and calm.

On this episode of Get a G.R.I.P. with Coach Elix, we're talking about how to find peace in the chaos, release perfectionism, and create your own version of holiday joy.

Because the holidays aren't meant to be survived—they're meant to be lived.

Today, we're exploring how to stress less, laugh more, and feel truly present this season.

🧠 We'll uncover why holiday stress happens, how to set healthy boundaries, and simple ways to protect your peace and energy.

What's one thing that usually stresses you out during the holidays—and how are you choosing to handle it differently this year?

Grief isn't always about death.
Sometimes it's about the dreams we outgrew, the relationships that changed, the expectations that never became reality, or the versions of ourselves we've had to let go of.

Grief is love that has nowhere to go—and healing begins the moment we allow ourselves to feel it.

On this episode, my co-host and husband, Steven the Medium, and I explore the invisible losses—and the power of honoring what we've quietly carried for too long.

💔 What loss have you carried quietly for too long?

We all grieve things no one else sees—dreams that didn't happen, people who changed, and parts of ourselves we've left behind.

Listen in as we talk about the grief we don't talk about.

What happens when the person who hurt you never says "I'm sorry"?

Do you hold on… or do you let go for your own peace?

We're talking about something every single one of us has struggled with at some point — forgiveness without an apology.

You know those moments when someone hurt you — and never owned it, never said "I'm sorry" — yet you're still carrying the weight?

Today, we're unpacking what it means to truly forgive, even when the other person never makes it right.

Because forgiveness isn't about them — it's about you: your peace, your healing, and your freedom.

This week on our episode, we open up about the power of releasing anger, resentment, and the need for closure — and how forgiveness is not for them; it's for you.

You deserve peace, not pain.

You deserve freedom, not resentment.

You deserve to move forward — even if they never said "sorry."

The question is:-

Who are you still waiting on to make things right?

Today, I invite you to release one thing, one person, or one story that's still weighing you down — and choose peace instead.

Trust is what makes us feel safe, connected, and willing to take risks with others. But it's also fragile—it can take years to build and only moments to break.

In this episode, we're exploring the neuroscience of trust—what's happening in the brain when trust is present, and what shuts it down. We'll talk about how to build—or rebuild—trust in both your personal and professional life.

Here's what we'll explore:

⚖️ Why trust matters more than control

Who in your life do you want to trust more deeply—and what's one action you can take to start?

Remember this: trust isn't about control—it's about connection. It's built in the small, consistent actions we take every day.

Who in your life do you want to trust more deeply—and what's one action you can take to start?

On this episode of Get a G.R.I.P. with Coach Elix, we're exploring how to navigate grief, endings, and the courage it takes to love again.

Love after loss is never simple. It takes:
✨ Courage to grieve
✨ Courage to stay open
✨ Courage to reimagine what love can look like after endings

Here's what we'll dive into:
🌟 Emotional courage after heartbreak
🌟 Staying open while healing
🌟 Honoring the past while embracing the future

Remember—honoring the past doesn't mean you can't embrace the future. Your heart has the capacity to heal, to expand, and to love again… sometimes even more deeply than before.

Our question is, if your heart could speak honestly right now, what would it say?

Our latest episode is all about building something meaningful—whether it's a career, a business, or a personal dream, it all starts with courage, resilience, and an unshakable belief in your own worth.

And perhaps most importantly, she'll show us that the most powerful stories we can tell are the ones that come from our most authentic selves.

Are You Living or Performing?

This week's episode is one that will hit close to home for many of us.

The question we're asking is simple, but powerful—are you living, or are you performing?

Too often, we get caught up in living for approval—saying the right things, doing what's expected, fitting into a mold—while slowly losing touch with who we really are.

We're digging into the difference between living authentically and living for validation.

What part of your life feels like a performance? And more importantly—what would your life look like if you stopped performing and started being fully YOU?

On Get a G.R.I.P. with Coach Elix, we're getting radically honest about a question that can change your life:

✨ Are you living authentically, or are you performing for approval?

✨ What part of your life feels like a performance?

✨ Where are you hiding who you really are to "fit in"?

Let this episode be your permission slip to drop the mask and be YOU!

What are you afraid to say—and why?

What we don't talk about often shapes who we become.

Today on Get a G.R.I.P., we're exploring the courage it takes to speak the truth—even when it's hard.

What is the power of radical honesty and emotional transparency?

Silence can be a safe space… but it can also be a prison.

We're challenging ourselves—and you—to break the silence and step into radical honesty, because healing begins when the truth is spoken.

💬 Your voice has power. Your truth matters.

And no matter how hard the conversation, your freedom is on the other side of it.

On this episode, we are asking, what's the one conversation you've been avoiding—and what would happen if you finally had it?
