BLENHEIM, ON, Dec. 10, 2025 /CNW/ - While the holidays are portrayed as joyful, many people quietly experience the opposite: emotional pressure, rising expectations, old family patterns, loneliness, and grief that feels sharper in December. As this emotional weight grows, more than 1,700 people visit AskHank.ai every day for guidance from Ask Hank™, my cloned brain in an app, a calm, grounded resource created to help individuals manage the season with clarity and compassion.

Ask Hank™ recently received a 9.8 rating from TrendHunter, reflecting the platform's growing reputation for emotional support that feels real, practical, and genuinely helpful. Rooted in the lifetime work of a retired clinical psychologist, the app translates decades of experience working with stress, anxiety, and human behaviour into simple steps people can follow when they feel overwhelmed.

"For many, the holidays are not easy," says Hank. "People try to hold everything together. They want to avoid conflict, meet expectations, look happy, and carry grief quietly. Ask Hank™ gives them permission to do less, to protect their emotional energy, and to focus on what actually matters."

Using principles inspired by honeybee behaviour to conserve energy, avoid unnecessary conflict, and focus on survival during the toughest seasons, Ask Hank™ helps individuals recognize the real source of their emotional strain. Whether someone is dealing with complicated family dynamics, feelings of isolation, burnout from doing too much, or the pressure to appear joyful, the app provides grounded, direct, and reassuring guidance.

Instead of adding more tasks or unrealistic holiday advice, Ask Hank™ offers small, meaningful steps that reduce emotional noise. Users receive simple prompts that help them set boundaries, lower expectations, and create space to breathe.

As thousands seek support each day, AskHank.ai has become a trusted companion for people who rarely say out loud that the holidays are difficult. The app meets users with honesty, calm thinking, and the message that they are not alone in feeling overwhelmed.
