You get a little bit of dread around the holidays: true or true?

The holidays are a time meant to be enjoyed with family, yet we dread them. WHY?

It's because of this concept I call The Holiday Handbook. Most of us have inherited this handbook of expectations and rules telling us how to behave around the holidays.

The Holiday Handbook is full of things to do and NOT to do to be a good mom.

Buying all the gifts for the in-laws, inviting both families to Christmas Eve even though they don't get along, researching and perfecting recipes, Elf On The Shelf, making the cutest crafts, sending out Christmas cards, hosting the big cookie exchange for the 27th year in a row…

If you want to be a good mom and give a good holiday experience to your family, The Holiday Handbook is something you have to live by.

And the list of must-do's inside is NEVERENDING. Our calendars are JAM PACKED.

No wonder we have holiday dread when we're running around from October 25th to January 7th trying to create the perfect holiday experience for everyone.

Enough already. It's time to drop the holiday dread and say yes to what YOU want. You in?

In this episode, I'm sharing a ton of really applicable things that will bring more joy to your holiday season starting THIS YEAR, like:

• How to allow yourself to disappoint others 
• Ways to destress your holidays without depending on food for comfort
• Understanding the differences between true guilt and false guilt
• How to keep your traditions alive without killing yourself
• 
  

Share this episode with the women in your life who are ready to feel joy around the holidays again.
