What if the secret to a joyful, stress-free holiday season was not about managing your emotions, but feeling them? As the festive season approaches, we take a deep-dive into exploring this concept, reminding you to check societal expectations at the door and put what truly counts at the center - your well-being and spending quality time with loved ones.

Prepare to challenge the norms as we unfold three vital questions; "Who says," "What fits," and "What if it was easy," guiding you to a happier, less stressful Christmas. We share personal experiences and practical advice, especially in managing difficult conversations.

Our focus? Helping you understand and navigate your emotions rather than control others. By the end of this episode, you'll be well-equipped to take control of your actions and reactions, making room for a more fulfilling holiday season. So, tune in and join us as we redefine the often stressful holiday narrative into one of joy and serenity.

There are three simple questions you can ask to make your Christmas more peaceful. They are simple questions. Following through on your answers may be a little harder.

Says who?

All those things you’re feeling you have to do - says who? Question your expectations. Questions the expectations of others.

What fits?

We all have limits. There is only so much time, energy, and money. How do you want to use what you have? How much of what you have do you want to use?

What’s fun?

What if getting ready and going through the Christmas season was fun? What would it look like? What would you do? What would you not do?

Asking the questions is a great place to start. Once you have asked yourself the questions, come back and ask me your questions.
