If the holidays leave you more drained than joyful, you’re not alone—and given what the holidays are supposed to represent, it’s really a shame that year after year, we get sucked into the parasitic undertow of stress and overwhelm.
But—if you choose it—it is possible to have a stress-free holiday season.
Today I’m sharing my three rules for creating a calm, meaningful, and truly stress-free holiday season — without isolating yourself or people-pleasing your way through December.
Let’s talk about how to trade obligation for intention, set boundaries before burnout hits, and redefine what “togetherness” really means on your terms.
This isn’t about pretending everything’s perfect — it’s about designing a holiday season rooted in courage, clarity, and self-respect, and opting out of the b.s.
