Struggling to juggle real life with holiday chaos without trashing your progress or starting over in January? What if surviving the holidays didn’t require perfection, rigid rules, or endless “all or nothing” cycles?

If you’re ready to build a holiday game-plan you actually want to follow and how consistency can be shockingly easy with just three simple non-negotiables, hit play and let’s dive in.
