#54 Practicing Brilliant Boundaries — and How To Reduce Stress As December Approaches

As it's almost mid-November, and having witnessed what I have both as a woman and a coach I felt it super necessary to put out an episode talking about December/Christmas and the juggle — or let's be honest the STRESS — it can be for some.Many don't speak about how the load and expectations can become heavier at this time of year and suffer in silence, whilst feeling like a pressure cooker(!).In this episode I speak about:reducing stress and why it's importantlistening to your bodythe heaviness of real or perceived pressures and expectationswelcoming greater enjoymenthonouring your capacity at any given time (aka giving less f**ks about some of the things)a funny share about buying prezzies for Matildaboundaries and dealing with the emotions of others LESS (if you can)how our energy can be affected by people and placesbeing an advocate for your/your family's needs and desiresdo you want to/have to travel around Christmas?!Themes: boundaries, Christmas, family, parenting, relationships, At the end of the podcast I share a poem by me.The books I mention are 'Call of the Wild' by Kimberly Ann Johnson, 'When the Body Says No' by Gabor Maté and 'The Body Keeps The Score' by Bessel van der Kolk.
