415: The 5 Mistakes Moms Make Every Holiday Season (and How to Avoid Them)


Listen Later

It starts with Halloween candy and ends with New Year’s burnout. Every year, moms go into the holidays with big dreams of “magic” — only to end up exhausted, frazzled, and running on leftover cookie crumbs.

In this episode, we break down the five biggest wellness traps moms fall into between October and December — and how to escape them with simple, sanity-saving shifts. From saying “no” without guilt to reclaiming your sleep and your peace, this conversation will help you enjoy the holidays without losing yourself in the process.

Because your peace isn’t optional—it’s essential.
