What if the holidays felt lighter, calmer, and actually joyful this year? In this live episode, I sit down with Dr. Morgan Cutlet to talk about the invisible load so many of us carry during the season. We get into why everything suddenly feels heavier, how to spot the unrealistic standards that drain us, and simple ways to bring more ease, presence, and teamwork into your home. If you have ever felt overwhelmed by holiday magic making, this conversation will feel like a deep breath and a reset.
