The holidays are here, and while they’re supposed to be filled with joy and connection, sometimes they feel more like chaos and overwhelm. Between the planning, the shopping, and the pressure to make everything perfect, it’s easy to lose sight of what this season is really about.
In this first episode of The Calm Mom Holiday Series, Lisa opens up about the first time she hosted Christmas, how she tried to do it all herself, what happened when she didn’t accept help, and the powerful lesson she learned about perfection, peace, and letting go.
If you’ve ever felt the pressure to make the holidays “just right,” this episode is your permission slip to slow down, release control, and find moments of calm, right in the middle of the mess.
You’ll learn: ✨ How to let go of perfection and find peace in imperfection ✨ Why asking for help is a form of self-love (not weakness) ✨ Simple ways to ground yourself when things feel chaotic ✨ How to create your own “peaceful pause ritual” this season
