25 | Stop the Holiday Overwhelm: Simple Boundaries That Give You Your Time Back


Listen Later

If the holidays leave you exhausted, overcommitted, and wondering when YOU get to enjoy any of it—this episode is your reset.


This week, we’re breaking down the exact micro-boundaries that help busy moms protect their time, simplify decisions, and feel more balanced during the most overwhelming season of the year.

I’m sharing the moment I realized I was running the whole holiday machine while everyone else was relaxing—and the simple shifts I made that brought my joy (and sanity) back.

You’ll walk away with:

  • The one boundary that immediately gives you breathing room

  • Two tiny decisions that protect your time without disappointing anyone

  • A simple way to say “Not right now”—minus the guilt

    If you’re craving more peace, more presence, and more moments that actually matter… this episode will help you take back your December with confidence.
