It’s the final stretch of the year, and if you're already feeling the pressure of unfinished goals, holiday chaos, and business demands piling up, you're not alone. This episode of Moms Makin’ Dough is your much-needed breather: a heart-to-heart on how to finish the year feeling full, not fried.
Host Kendra Hewitt invites you into a conversation that shifts the focus from hustle to harmony. Instead of chasing numbers or staying up till midnight checking boxes, what if you chose peace, presence, and purpose? Kendra gets vulnerable about her own end-of-year struggles and shares how she flipped the script, trading burnout for traditions, to-do lists for meaningful moments, and productivity for presence.
You'll hear personal stories (including a sweet new holiday tradition with her daughter), a framework to audit your time and energy, and simple tools to help you align your final 90 days with what truly matters most. If you’ve ever felt the tension between being a boss and being present, this episode is your permission slip to reimagine your Q4.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why finishing strong doesn’t have to mean hustling harder
How to do a personal “holiday brain dump” that centers what matters most
The power of a two-column energy audit (what gives vs. drains you)
A 3D framework for decluttering your schedule: Do it, Delegate it, or Delete it
Ways to intentionally create joy, rest, and connection during the holidays
“If you’re not present with your family, your business will cost you in a whole different way.” -Kendra Hewitt
