The holidays are meant to be joyful - yet for so many women, December becomes a season of exhaustion, pressure, and constant giving. In this episode, Janet J walks you through a gentle, practical, and deeply spiritual invitation from Jesus: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”

If you’re juggling work, family, events, gifts, expectations, and responsibilities… this conversation is for you. Janet shares what research reveals about how lack of rest affects our bodies, minds, and relationships - and how Jesus offers rest not after we finish everything, but right in the middle of the chaos.

You don’t have to push through on empty. You don’t have to earn rest.
 Jesus is inviting you - today, right now - to pause, breathe, and come to Him.

Take your next best step toward a calmer, more Christ-centered holiday season.

This week on Your Next Best Step Podcast, Coach Janet J wraps up a meaningful December series with a practical and grace-filled conversation about staying healthy: body, mind, and spirit - during one of the busiest months of the year.

After identifying what’s draining us and honoring the emotional weight of the season, today’s episode shifts into simple, research-backed ways to genuinely feel good this December. Coach Janet breaks down five powerful areas: strategic eating without restriction, protecting sleep, managing stress, supporting immunity, and grounding yourself spiritually.

Instead of trying to “fix everything,” she invites you to choose just one practice that will make the biggest difference for you right now. From the “Worth It Filter” for holiday eating, to sleep protection, to 5-minute stress pauses, to handwashing habits, to gratitude prayer - these small steps help you honor God, care for your body, and move through the season with wisdom and joy.

The holidays can make grief feel heavier. In this episode, Coach Janet J creates space for the kind of ache that shows up when someone you love is no longer at the table - whether through death, distance, divorce, or life changes.

You’ll learn why grief intensifies this season, what Scripture says about God’s comfort, and how to navigate the holidays with honesty instead of pressure to “be okay.” Coach Janet J shares practical steps like acknowledging the empty chair, creating new traditions, setting boundaries, and simple rituals that help you process loss with compassion.

God comforts you in your grief - and Jesus wept, which means you’re allowed to, too.

Holiday traditions can be beautiful… until they become heavy. Maybe the things that once brought joy now feel like pressure, guilt, or obligation. In this episode, we talk about why traditions naturally shift over time, and how to lovingly release or redesign the ones that no longer fit your season.

You’ll learn the four stages of a tradition, the signs it’s ready to evolve, and a simple framework to help you make changes with clarity and grace. No guilt. No drama. Just honest reflection, real connection, and the freedom to choose what serves your family now.

✨ Remember: traditions are meant to serve people, not the other way around.
 Take your next best step toward a more peaceful holiday season.
