80. Surviving the Holidays: Realistic Self-Care Tips for Busy Moms


Listen Later

The holiday season is here, and while it’s magical, it can also be downright overwhelming—especially for moms. Between planning, shopping, and keeping the family traditions alive, it’s easy to forget about taking care of yourself. In this episode I'm talking all about realistic self-care for moms during the holidays. Spoiler alert: it’s not about perfection; it’s about finding little ways to recharge so you can actually enjoy the season.

I cover:

  • Letting go of the “perfect holiday” myth and focusing on what truly matters.
  • How to squeeze in micro-moments of self-care, even on your busiest days.
  • Setting boundaries with a bow (and saying "no" without the guilt).
  • Finding laughter in the inevitable holiday fails.
  • Asking for help and embracing shortcuts to keep your sanity.

If you’ve been feeling like the holiday magic is turning into holiday madness, this episode is here to help you slow down, breathe, and remember that you deserve some holiday cheer, too.

🎁 What You’ll Learn:

  • Simple, manageable self-care tips that fit into a busy mom’s life.
  • How to prioritize the traditions and events that matter most.
  • Practical scripts for setting boundaries with family, friends, and yourself.
  • Why it’s okay (and necessary!) to ask for help and let go of “doing it all.”
  • The power of laughter to turn holiday chaos into joyful memories.
