A new year presents a blank page, an opportunity to start fresh and get things right. We all sit back and come up with new goals and resolutions, starting the year with high energy.

But do you know the power to make intentional goals and plans that work lies within you? 

The power to decide the exact kind of year you want is within you!

In this episode, Coach Elix and his husband, Steven the Medium, dive into the transformative potential of mindset and intentionality. Together, they will explore how to harness your inner power to set clear goals, make impactful decisions, and navigate challenges with resilience.

The holiday season is a time for togetherness—a chance to gather with friends, family, and loved ones to celebrate cherished traditions and create new, lasting memories.

But let’s be honest: the holidays often come with a long list of expectations. 

From finding the perfect gifts and hosting gatherings to managing family dynamics and tackling year-end goals, the season can feel more overwhelming than joyful.

Instead of the peace and happiness we hope for, we often find ourselves stressed, frustrated, and even burned out. But it doesn’t have to be that way!

In today’s episode, we’re talking about Holiday Harmony—how to stress less and enjoy more. 

We’ll explore the brain science behind holiday stress, identify the common triggers that make this season so challenging, and share practical, effective strategies to help you reclaim the joy and meaning of the holidays.

So, whether you’re juggling a packed calendar, feeling pressure to meet expectations, or searching for ways to stay present, this episode is all about creating balance, finding calm, and truly enjoying the festive season.
