If I were to ask you to envision the perfect holiday season, what do you see? A festive home, a lavish feast?

We all have some sort of expectations for the holidays. Some expectations are realistic and others are not. When are expectations aren't met, it can cause stress, angst, and meltdowns.

How do we set ourselves up to have healthy expectations for the holidays season? How do we navigate potential disappointment and fully enjoy each moment (even if the moments don't look like we envisioned)?

In this episode we'll have a conversation about attitudes and actions to own that will help to bring about contentment, peace, AND healthy expectations for this season.
