This week, I'm bringing back a highly-requested episode originally recorded a few years ago that's perfect for navigating holiday overwhelm and anxiety.

If the idea of holiday get-togethers leaves you feeling stressed out and anxious, you're not alone! I created this episode to give you actionable steps and a lighthearted approach to managing anxiety so you can find Confidence and Self-Leadership and enjoy the season without overwhelm.

I'm sharing a personal story about discovering even master entertainers can struggle with social anxiety and perfectionism, which is often what high functioning anxiety is about. If you find yourself people-pleasing or struggling with over-planning to avoid imaginary catastrophes, this episode is for you.

4 Actionable Steps to Reduce Stress and Anxiety:

1. Practice Mindfulness: Check in with your body. Are you full? Overstimulated? Make tiny moves back to feeling good.
2. Set Practical Boundaries: Create a plan to hold boundaries that you're willing to hold. Have a plan to keep your peace so Uncle Fred doesn't have to kill your holiday.
3. Pre-Plan Your Exit: Decide how long you want to stay before you go , practicing self-care and protecting your emotional well-being.
4. Take Care of Yourself Now: Maintain your normal routine and your daily practices for wellbeing, like yoga, walking, journaling, or meditating.
