If you’ve just finished The Traitors final and you’re feeling a strange mix of excitement, sadness, betrayal, and “what do I do with my life now?”, you’re not alone. That post-finale feeling is real. One minute you’re shouting at the TV, the next you’re staring into space wondering how you became so emotionally invested in cloaks and round tables.

The good news? This is the perfect moment to lean into comfort, sparkle, and feel-good rituals.

Here are three simple, soul-soothing tips to help you manage after the final.

1. Comfort Food For The Soul

 

Watching feel-good TV and films boosts dopamine, the brain’s “happy hormone,” helping us feel motivated, uplifted and emotionally comforted after intense shows like The Traitors. It’s why switching to something lighter can instantly shift your mood and calm your nervous system. Wrap yourself in your feel-good clothing, make it cosy, and choose either a timeless classic like Pretty Woman for nostalgic sparkle, or a fresh, heart-warming watch like The People We Meet on Vacation to keep that dopamine flowing in the softest, most soul-soothing way.

2. Get yourself a Whodunnit Book

I grew up loving Agatha Christie and have read all of her books (thank you to my local library.) This is the perfect time of year to get yourself one of Agatha Christie's novels, curl up with a blanket, tartan pattern optional ;) 

3. Dress the Mood You Want to Create

What you wear after The Traitors final matters more than you think. Clothing holds emotion. That’s why feel-good clothing is such a powerful tool for grounding and regulating your nervous system.

Slip into your favourite comfy sweatshirt and let it be your emotional reset. Whether you were rooting for the Faithful or secretly loving the Traitors’ chaos, this is your badge of honour.

Choose comfort that still feels powerful:

• Soft fabrics to calm your body

• A bold message to lift your energy

• A sparkle-forward mindset to remind you of your confidence

Your cosy outfit becomes more than an item of clothing, it becomes emotional armour.

The end of The Traitors isn’t a loss. It’s a reminder that it's the little things in life, like a cult tv show and the community feeling that comes with it are the big things in life.
