133. Five ways to reset holiday expectations

from Inside Out Money Hosted by Maggie Tucker

The holidays are meant to be about joy, but somewhere along the way, we've let them become a source of stress, guilt, and financial and emotional strain. We’ve all felt the pressure to overspend, over-commit, and keep up with picture-perfect social media feeds. We offer a practical antidote to the madness, with five actionable ways to reset your holiday expectations using an "inside out" approach that prioritizes your peace and financial well-being. Learn how to identify your true core values and use them as a simple filter to cut back on time, money, and emotional spending that doesn't align with your goals. We also provide clear, direct scripts for navigating the awkward "gift-free" conversation, setting necessary boundaries with family.
