After discovering her gift of reading energy (i.e. her stardust), Tamara shot from broke-online-nobody-scrounging-for-clients-at-45-bucks-an-hour, to award-winning author and business coach, retiring her husband, and rocketing to 6-figure success (dare we say, "overnight").

Last week we talked about changing our expectations on what we can accomplish during the holiday season. Making small changes to our schedule and to our ideas of what success looks like not only creates more spaciousness in our lives and business but allows our days to be filled with more joy.

What if we apply that same concept to our relationships? What if we let go of how we think people should show up and just appreciated them for who they are, what they do, and the role they play in our lives? How much lighter does that make you feel simply thinking about it? And what do you think happens when we expect NOTHING? We get SO much more than what we even wanted.

The transition to the holiday season seems to come on fast and furious. We go from finally settling into our routines with the kids and school and business to a swift time change followed by holiday breaks and being inundated with excitement and chaos. Even for someone who doesn't manage multiple schedules, clients and businesses this time of year can be extremely stressful, but layer on all the chaos that we as working mama's have and it's EXTRA.

So, dear friends, how do we manage it? My suggestion - lower our expectations of being able to get it all done.

1. Prioritize the 1-3 things that you need get done in the week.

2. Adjust your schedule.

3. Adjust what your idea of success looks like this week.

4. Turn your expectation into appreciation.

Follow these simple steps to a more spacious and joyful holiday season!

Highlights for this episode:

2:26 - Why am I acting like this version of Kari?

6:46 - The questions to ask when the holiday tries to break you
