Episode 65 Trees, Timing, and Letting Go of the Rule Book

from Running to Myself · host Trish Stanton

In today’s episode, Trisha dives into the holiday tradition of decorating for Christmas, and how our ideas about “the right time” have completely shifted over the years. From December-only decorating to the rise of November 1 trees, she shares stories from her own life about how personal preference has evolved across seasons, moves, kids, and emotions. And more importantly… she uses this as a jumping-off point to explore a bigger concept: How many of the things we stress about are actually neutral? This conversation invites you to loosen your grip on the small things, release the urge to police differences, and reclaim your energy for what genuinely matters. What You’ll Learn: Why timing and traditions are not moral issues• How to spot when you’re judging a neutral choice• A simple 3-step tool to interrupt that pattern• What gets freed up emotionally when you stop trying to control other people’s preferences Takeaway: Not everything needs your opinion, your stress, or your energy. Some things are simply “different,” not wrong. Listen If You: Feel frustrated or confused by how other people do things• Tend to overthink the “right way” to make decisions• Want more emotional margin during the holidays• Are ready for life to feel lighter Final Note: This episode isn’t really about Christmas décor, it’s about reclaiming peace in everyday life. If this conversation helps shift your perspective even a little, imagine what we could do together with intentional coaching.  Click HERE to book your free consultation
