Podcast Episode 319: Don’t Make These Big Mistakes- Do This Instead This Holiday Season!
Let’s be real: why do we, as moms, feel like we need to pull off a Hallmark movie-worthy holiday every year? Between coordinating gifts, making magical memories, and baking cookies that rival Martha Stewart’s, it’s no wonder we’re exhausted by December 26th. Newsflash: you don’t have to do it all!
This year, let’s ditch the perfection and focus on what actually matters—like enjoying the season without needing a post-holiday recovery nap. That Instagram-worthy gingerbread house? Skip it. Store-bought cookies? Totally acceptable. And if sending Christmas cards makes your eye twitch, let it go. Trust me, Aunt Susan will survive without a family photo update this year.
The key? Set boundaries, delegate, and prioritize your own happiness. Because when mom is happy, everyone’s happy. So, pour yourself some eggnog, turn on your favorite cheesy holiday movie, and embrace the perfectly imperfect holiday season you deserve.
In this episode of the No Guilt Mom podcast you’ll learn:
- The most common stress-causing mistakes moms make every holiday season (and how to avoid them)
- How setting boundaries is crucial to managing holiday stress.
- Why it’s okay to not fulfill every tradition or expectation during the holidays.
- Why overcommitting during the holidays leads to burnout—learn to say “No”
- How embracing imperfection can bring you so much peace.
