48: Your 2025 Holiday Survival Guide

Strategies for an Overwhelm-Free Holiday

Are you tired of feeling obligated to do all the domestic duties during the holidays, rushing around while everyone else is making memories?

In this episode, I address the elephant sitting around the Christmas tree. It's this … the common thread of resentment and exhaustion that many women face, despite their best efforts to create a "magical time" for everyone else.

Listen: Your worth is not defined by what you can do for others this holiday season. It's time to put yourself on your Christmas wishlist and truly participate in the holiday fun.

What you'll discover today:

  • How to break the cycle of overworking and feeling guilty for accepting help.

  • Why the "I make it look easy" façade is built on exhausting yourself in the kitchen days ahead.

  • Three crucial steps to having a fun, joyful, and connected holiday.

  • How sharing the mental and physical load instills new family values — and specific tips to help get your family on board.

  • How to reconnect with what you genuinely love about the holidays (beyond presents), such as childhood traditions or simple activities that bring you joy.

  • How to manage the inevitable feelings that come up (like guilt and anxiety).
