Late Night Pep Talk: Holiday Mindset

There's no definition for "what a good mom does at Christmas." I think we all need to hear this. Those insanely high expectations you have for yourself to provide this picture perfect Christmas experience - from the gifts, to hiding the Elf each night, to the matching family pajamas, or the perfect Christmas card - are all created in our own heads and often result from unfair comparison. It's the most wonderful time of the year...for everyone except the ones that make the holiday magic happen. This episode is all about breaking your CURRENT holiday mindset to create a new one. One that serves you and your family much better. One that requires you to say "no" to some things. Because each time we say "no" to someone else, we get to say "yes" to ourselves and our family. Often, the areas we're so afraid to fall short on around the holidays aren't even things that make or break the experience of it all for our children. I bring this entire episode together by sharing four things to help you survive the holiday with less stress as a mom. I know this is exactly what you need to hear as we head into the holidays. And remember, mama...You're doing an amazing job. Support the showLet's connect on social media!
