Description

In this holiday episode of The Calm Collective, Ashlee dives into the real mental and emotional load mothers carry this time of year. From creating “holiday magic” to managing work, family, and endless expectations, she unpacks why so many women feel overwhelmed, overstimulated, and disconnected during a season that’s supposed to feel joyful.

Ashlee explores:

  • The invisible holiday workload for working moms

  • Letting go of traditions that no longer serve you

  • Setting boundaries without guilt

  • Designing an intentional, values-led holiday season

  • Protecting your time, energy, and presence

  • Choosing meaningful moments over perfection

If you’re craving a calmer, simpler, more aligned December—with more presence and less pressure—this episode is your permission slip.
