Festive Perfectionism - Finding Joy in the Imperfections

Do you feel the pressure to have a 'perfect' Christmas?

In this episode, I discuss the concept of festive perfectionism.

This refers to the pressure people put on themselves to achieve a perfect holiday period with perfect crafts, baking, decorations, and activities. 

I share tips on how to let go of this pressure and embrace imperfections to find joy and connection in the holidays. Plus I encourage listeners to evaluate what really serves them during the holiday season and to allow themselves to not do everything perfectly.
