Ep. 45 - How to Thrive as a Mum Over Christmas - Part 1

from Beyond Motherhood · host Monique Bathis

Christmas chaos, anyone? In this episode, I get real about the pressure mums face during the holidays to say yes to everything. From family lunches to endless playdates, every “yes” to others is a “no” to yourself - and it’s time to flip that script. Learn why setting boundaries is essential for your sanity, how saying no can actually strengthen your nervous system, and simple ways to protect your energy this festive season. Plus, I share some practical tips to help you say no confidently (without the guilt). This Christmas, it’s not about doing it all - it’s about doing what fills you up. 🌟 Tune in now and reclaim your holiday joy, mama.
