EP 202: Low-Demand Holidays

We think a lot about how to lower demands for our kids, but in this episode we’re going to talk about how we can lower demands for ourselves, specifically during the holiday season.

Regardless of where you live in the world and what holidays you do or don’t celebrate, it’s hard to avoid the extra stress that comes in December.

In this episode, you’ll learn

• How to look at traditions or expectations and consider which ones to prioritize
• How to increase felt safety- for you and your kids- at holiday events, travel, or expectations
• How to set boundaries 
• How to offer yourself compassion if setting boundaries feels really hard
