The final and biggest holiday season is upon us and with it can come a lot of stress and falling off the wagon of our self-care. In today’s show my guest Melissa Auclair and I discuss how to go into, be in the thick of it, and how to come out the other side happy, sane and HEALTHY to boot. This show is packed with so many golden nuggets you don’t want to miss a minute of it.

In This Episode we dished on:

1) Why are celebrating the holidays so important? and are there health benefits to celebrating

2) Culturally speaking, how did we get to be so crazy at Christmas?

3) Family stress is a common theme for women. How do we regain some hope for stressful family situations?

4) Women generally have a hard time saying no. We want to create a wonderful holiday experience for others and often add too much and end up feeling exhausted. How can we battle the people  pleaser/make everyone happy part of ourselves?

5) Stress is a huge part of the holiday angst. What are some practical ways to decrease stress?

 6) How can we reclaim the joy and wonder of the season if the holidays bring up a lot of pain and heartache?  

And so much more!!!
