The holiday season, a mixed bag of joy, excitement, sadness, frustration, overwhelm, pressure, and so many more emotions. We all dream of enjoying the holiday season but often do not create a plan to manifest this dream until it is too late. Not this year! This is your year to celebrate in the ways that bring you joy, connection, and fulfillment, rather than overwhelm, obligation, and dread. 

Join us as we give some tangible and practical tips to not only survive the holidays, but actually enjoy them. We challenge you to consider what is most important to you during the holidays and provide you the tools to prioritize your sanity and fulfillment. We also discuss how to create space for not only joy, but also grief, disappointment, and personal boundaries. We encourage you to enter into this holiday season prepared and free from guilt. Let us show you how!
