147. Make-Ahead Christmas Morning Breakfasts

Instead enjoying the peace of this special time of year,  it often feels like we’re pushed and pulled to do more, more, more. Or, if we’re experiencing hard things, it seems like holiday happiness is mandatory and there’s no room for our grief. So what’s really “enough” at the holidays? Emily shares a few ways to find “enough” and sit in the warm glow of hope, even when we’re struggling.   Thanks to our episode sponsors!

145. How to Set (and flex!) Your Holiday Budget

Want to opt out of holiday travel stress? Us too. When it comes to having a smoother holiday travel experience, two things will help you out: a little planning and a lot of Starbucks. This week, Liz helps us think about those pesky details we often overlook whether we’re planning to hop in the car or on a plane for the holidays so we can say “bye!” to stress and “hello!” to holiday joy a bit sooner.    Thanks to our episode sponsors!
