Ep. 17 - Redefining Holiday Traditions on Your Terms… Even with the Elf

Shh… this one is all about that “uninvited” holiday visitor who shows up every year and gets into all kinds of trouble. Yes, we’re talking about the Elf on the Shelf.Settle in as Carmie and Dal dive into the pressures, obligations, and expectations that moms feel during the holiday season. They share how their own journeys have shaped the way they approach everything from dinners and gift-giving to their very creative tactics with the elf — and how things have shifted from where they once were to where they are now.We talk about the magic of the holidays as our kids get older and start asking questions, and how each of us has decided to handle that in a way that feels aligned and grounded.There is so much more to this season than the picture-perfect version we see online. Cultural expectations, family traditions, and financial stress can overwhelm any parent, especially when you’re trying to honour your own values and beliefs.Your health, wellness, and growth journeys are all connected, even when it comes to a tiny elf sitting on a shelf.So get cozy and come along for a sleigh ride with plenty of laughs, a little coarse language, and a whole lot of empowerment.Ladies, it’s time to live for you and do what works within the parameters of your life — even when the elf has other plans. 🎄✨Connect with Carmie on IG @carmhawk_getsfitConnect with Dal on IG @nutritioncoachingbydal
