Welcome to another brand new episode of Optimistically Overwhelmed … thank you for being here!

Are any of our listeners ready for the holidays? (Are we ever REALLY ready?) Well, Chelsea starts off today's episode by asking a thought-provoking question that will get us all in the right frame-of-mind as we approach the holidays. The ladies discuss the importance of slowing down and also making realistic expectations.

DeDe switches gears and talks about all of our favorite subject (parenting!). She shares something she learned from one of our favorite's, Brooke Romney, about how we can use both justice and mercy simultaneously as parents to give boundaries and to also show we care!

We hope our listeners have a wonderful week, and don't forget to go "shine bright!"
