29: Holiday Chaos Got You Hiding in Your Car? How to protect your peace (and maybe even enjoy yourself) this season
Why does the “most wonderful time of the year” make so many women want to hide in their car with coffee?
Because the minute November hits, the world forgets how to function - traffic triples, parking lots turn into demolition derbies, and everyone’s pretending they’re fine while quietly losing it.
In this episode, I’m breaking down what’s really behind holiday burnout - the pressure to make it perfect, the invisible mental load women carry, and how to protect your energy without guilt.
We’ll talk about:
🌪️ Why women end up managing everyone’s emotions during the holidays (and how to stop)
🧘 How to protect your peace and stay grounded when everything feels chaotic
🙅♀️ Boundaries - saying no without apology and doing less without the guilt
💫 Microshifts that help you feel calm, centered, and present - no Pinterest perfection required
❤️ My personal story of losing my dad just after Christmas, and how I turned that loss into a yearly celebration of his life with my mom - yes, we even bring his mini urn along for the ride
This episode is about slowing down, dropping the “shoulds,” and redefining what wonderful really means... for you.
Because peace doesn’t show up when everything’s done.
It shows up when you stop trying to earn it.
🎧 Listen now and learn how to:
Protect your peace during the holidays
Release the pressure to make it perfect
Redefine joy, presence, and connection on your own terms
If the holidays make you feel more frazzled than festive, this episode will help you breathe again, and maybe even enjoy the season this time around.
💬 Let’s Stay Connected:
If this episode was valuable, share it with a friend and let’s bring more women into this wild, unapologetic space.
Until next time...
Stay wild ⛰️💫🌵
