December 22, 2024 Ep.28 Setting Christmas Boundaries So You Don't Burn Out
The holiday season is meant to be joyful, but it can easily become overwhelming if we don’t honour our needs and set boundaries.
In this episode, we dive into why boundary-setting is essential for avoiding burnout and how to practice it effectively over Christmas.
From taking breaks when you need them to declining invitations and steering away from triggering conversations, this episode covers practical ways to prioritise your well-being during the holidays. We’ll talk about why boundaries aren’t about shutting people out—they’re about creating space for meaningful connections while honouring what’s right for you.
I’ll also share some personal insights, including what I’m not doing this year, like attending social events when I’d rather stay home or apologising for leaving early when I feel overstimulated. Plus, I’ll give you simple self-care ideas to recharge during this busy time, like reading, taking a hot bath, or disconnecting from social media for a day.
Tune in to learn how to advocate for yourself, make space for rest, and step into the new year feeling refreshed and empowered. Your needs are valid—and this holiday season, it’s time to honour them.
