Does the holiday season really need to be so overwhelming? Janet admits she gets caught up in the bustle and excitement of holiday festivities. While her intention every year is to pare down to make more room for meaningful moments with her loved ones, she still finds herself shopping until the last minute for the perfect gift and wrapping into the wee hours of Christmas Day. Janet's more than ready to take off her Santa hat and find ways to do less and enjoy more but doesn't know exactly how to make it happen.  Happily, this week's guest is inspirational pastor and community leader Ashlee Eiland, who shares loads of wisdom and actionable suggestions for prioritizing joy and meaning in the holidays, for our kids and us.Follow Ashlee on Instagram at: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ashlee_eiland/">https://www.instagram.com/ashlee_eiland/</a>Learn more about Janet's "No Bad Kids Master Course" at: <a href="http://www.nobadkidscourse.com/">NoBadKidsCourse.com</a>.Please support our sponsors and take advantage of their special offers.See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.
