The holidays can be so much, right? Between the endless to-dos and trying to keep up with everyone else’s version of “perfect” it’s easy to feel like you’re drowning in stress. But here’s the thing—I’m not about that life, and I don’t think you should be either.
In this episode, I’m getting honest about what it looks like to lower the bar and set expectations that actually work for you. I’ll share how I’m managing holiday tasks without losing my mind, prioritizing what matters most to my family, and letting go of the guilt that comes with doing less.
If you’ve been feeling the holiday overwhelm creeping in, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about how to stop overcommitting, simplify your season, and focus on creating meaningful moments (without trying to do it all).
