What I’m Doing Differently This Christmas Season: Simplifying the Holidays
Description
Welcome to the final episode of Your Cup of Joy for the year! With Christmas quickly approaching, I’m reflecting on what actually makes the holidays feel good and how I’ve been filling my cup in ways that feel true to me. Ever since I’ve shifted my focus from “getting everything done” to simply being present, this season has felt so much lighter.
I talk about letting go of overconsumption to make space for quality time and connection, and recent moments with my kids that led to important conversations about kindness and gratitude. I also share how I want to feel in 2026 and why I’m prioritizing my peace and my time. As I reflect, I’m reminded that joy grows when we slow down and show up for one another.
I hope this episode inspires you to embrace this season with an open heart, regardless of what’s going on, and move into the new year with grounded, intentional steps. I’ll see you in 2026!
