[REPLAY] Healthy Holiday Boundaries: Two Perspectives | Tracey Showalter

Before we jump into December, I wanted to bring back an episode that just hits perfectly right now. And yes - I know I’ve already dropped a couple of holiday episodes this month, but this one is definitely worth revisiting. So I thought: what better moment to replay this conversation with my good friend and professional organizer, Tracey Showalter? She’s amazing at helping people create calm in busy seasons, and she’s full of simple, practical tips that actually make the holidays feel lighter. Plus - we have that hilarious little debate about whether or not to send Christmas cards. If you’ve ever questioned if they’re worth the effort, you’re gonna relate.

----------------------------------------

For many, the holiday season often stirs up a range of emotions. Whether it's juggling multiple social gatherings, engaging in conversations with family members, or managing the responsibilities of hosting (and maintaining a picture-perfect home for holiday cards), the pressure can outweigh the joy we associate with this time of year. BUT FRET NOT - there are solutions for you and I'm bringing in a good friend to help - professional organizer, Tracey Showalter.
