Hidden Expectations: The Holiday Stress You Don’t See Coming

from Healthy AF · host The MESH

This week, Amy dives into the sneaky expectations that quietly shape your holiday stress—and your disappointment. From “we always eat at 1:30” to the unspoken hope that “everyone will get along,” she helps you uncover what’s driving your overwhelm before it crashes your holiday.   Using tools inspired by Brené Brown, Amy walks you through: • Exposing hidden expectations • Detaching from the script in your head • Building the “container” you need to show up as your best self • Writing permission slips that support who you want to be   If you want a holiday that feels grounded, intentional, and peaceful instead of pressured, this episode will change everything. Please visit brenebrown.com for research, relatable stories, and more information on permission slips and container building.
