Holiday overwhelm is real, and choosing presence over perfection can feel harder than it sounds. In this episode, we share three simple steps to reduce holiday stress and make the season feel lighter: breathe and simplify, protect your peace, and practice daily renewal.

As a faith based therapist serving Texas and Florida, Elly brings the emotional wellness lens, while Isa brings the real life, down to earth perspective listeners love. Together we talk about setting gentle boundaries, navigating blended family expectations, making space for grief, and letting traditions adjust with your season of life. We also explore daily renewal through rest, prayer, movement, and creativity. These small rhythms help your nervous system settle.

If you’re craving a calmer, more connected holiday season, these steps can help you slow down and enjoy what matters most. Save this episode, share it with a friend, and tell us what you’re choosing to let go of this year.
