TOPIC: 

Even though it’s marketed as the most wonderful time of the year, for so many of us, the month of December comes with a lot of added stress and difficult emotions. In this episode, we discuss what the ‘holiday blues’ are, how to navigate those feelings, and ways to support yourself when facing holiday-related pressure. 


We talk about how to avoid getting swept up in consumerism and share ideas for thoughtful gifts that are budget-friendly. We also chat about healthy ways to deal with challenging family dynamics and uphold your boundaries.  


In this episode, we discuss:

  • Factors that can trigger holiday blues, including added fatigue and unrealistic expectations 
  • What you can do if you’re experiencing financial stress during the holiday season 
  • Ideas for simple, heartfelt crafts and baked goods
  • Tips for protecting your peace when you’re in a triggering environment 
  • Why it’s so important to stick to your normal routine during this busy time of year 
  • How to practice mindfulness, especially when it comes to your your food and alcohol choices 
  • Learning how to delegate holiday-related tasks and let go of perfectionism
