We all want the holidays to feel meaningful and connected, but the pressure to meet expectations often pulls us away from what truly matters to us. Between obligations, traditions, cooking, cleaning, and planning, we often miss out on quality time with the people we care about or a chance to rest. If you’re exhausted just thinking about putting on another holiday for everyone else, this episode will walk you through a simple four-step framework to help you create the holiday season you actually want. Here’s what I cover:

  • Why people-pleasing is at an all-time high during the holidays
  • Three questions to help you pause and ask yourself what you truly want
  • How to predict the discomfort that comes with prioritizing yourself
  • An exercise to write down what support you need to make the holiday you want possible
  • How to mentally rehearse the holiday and regulate your nervous system beforehand
