The holidays are meant to be about peace, joy, and togetherness … but they often end up steeped in chaos, rush, and overspending.
Not this year! There’s really no better time than right this minute to practice slowing down and getting intentional *before* we say yes to another obligation or hit 'add to cart'.
On today's show podcast host Desirae Endres reminds us that the holidays aren't just for kids; they are for us to enjoy too.
Here's a preview:
[6:30] First things first: We can't manufacture perfection, and kids make their own magic
[11:00] Are you the behind-the-scenes magic maker? The importance of remembering what YOU love about the season
[23:00] Protect your peace by zeroing in on what's within your control
[29:00] Focus on contentment, not on comparison! Shining light on the chasm between our idealized (ahem...commercialized) celebrations versus real life
