The holidays are here — and let’s be real, sometimes it feels less like a celebration and more like a full-contact sport.

In this episode, Marcia breaks down your holiday defense strategy — how to protect your peace, set boundaries that actually hold, and stop letting other people run your season.

You’ll learn how to:

• Recognize when you’ve checked out, distracted, or playing for the wrong team

• Balance being supportive with protecting your own sanity

• Build a strategy that lets you enjoy the season without losing yourself

• Use the CORE Framework — Commit, Own, Rest & Reflect, Engage — to stay grounded and intentional through the chaos

Because your wellness doesn’t take a holiday — and defense wins peace every time.
