The holidays are stressful. Duh! I am starting to feel shaky already.

I needed to chat with an expert so I enlisted my friend, Maureen Humpl, a CPA and owner of her own business.  The business of keeping things in perspective and stress at bay, especially during the holidays, is welcome advice and perfect for a chuckle.

Gals, you are not wonder women and most importantly, you are not alone.

Maureen expounds on her tips for keeping holiday stress to a minimum so that you have time to enjoy your holiday and make some memories.

***  Delegate to gain a sense of control
*** Forget about what people think
*** Prioritize what is truly important to YOU
*** Ignore expectations of others
*** Pick and Choose what will make YOU happy

Join us as we share stress, motherhood, and what to say if your partner thinks the laundry is "your job."

"You'll remember the laughs with family and the food, not the plates it was served on." Maureen Humpl

This is part one of a series of "stress relief during the holidays."

I mention Comedian/Actress/Writer Meredith Masony in the podcast.  You can find her on Insatgram @thats_inappropriate
