Description

The holiday season is here again — and while it’s full of magic and meaning, it can also feel like a lot, especially when you're the one quietly coordinating all the joy. Gifts, gatherings, school events, traditions… the mental load piles up fast.


So this week, we’re re-releasing one of our most-loved holiday episodes — all about three simple, doable ways to lighten that invisible load. These strategies will help you protect your energy, stay present, and actually enjoy the season you’re working so hard to make special.


Because the truth is: the moments that matter most aren’t the perfectly planned ones — they’re the connected ones. So grab something cozy to sip, take a deep breath, and let’s make this holiday season feel more manageable, meaningful, and doable.
