The holidays can be beautiful—and deeply tender. In this episode of Not That Girl Anymore, Dawn Bouillion is joined by Dottie Griffin and Ashley Woodard for an honest conversation about braving the holidays with gentleness, presence, and self-compassion.

They explore grief, pressure, people-pleasing, and the longing for connection, while offering grounding practices and reminders that your worth isn’t earned through performance. This episode is a soft place to land—permission to slow down, protect your peace, and honor where you are.

You’re not alone. You don’t have to be perfect. And you’re braving this season in real time.
