183. Stop Overcomplicating the Holidays: How to Find Presence and Actual Joy

Are you hiding in the bathroom right now, taking a break from the holiday chaos? If you are, I get it.   This time of year has a way of turning even the most organized person into an overwhelmed, overfunctioning machine. You're trying to keep all the traditions alive, cook the perfect meals, buy thoughtful gifts for everyone, manage everyone's emotions, and somehow make it all look effortless. So, if the holidays feel more exhausting than they do magical, you're in the right place.   Join me this week as I explore why we turn this season into a performance instead of a time to actually enjoy ourselves, and how to stop overcomplicating the holidays. You'll discover why doing more doesn't create more meaning, the deeper emotions that often hide underneath all the overdoing, and how to let the holidays be exactly what they are - nothing more, nothing less.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://carriehollandmd.com/183   Follow me on Facebook and Instagram: https://www.facebook.com/carriehollandmd https://www.instagram.com/carriehollandmd/
