Episode Notes:  Are you feeling the building pressure of this year’s holiday expectations?  Is the never-ending list of to-dos bringing out the Grinch in you too? Has Ho-Ho-Ho turned into NO-NO-NO? Hold onto your candy canes because we're about to navigate the hustle and bustle together. This week we discuss how easily joy can turn into holiday stress, with never-ending shopping lists, elaborate party planning, and extended family dynamics. We also shine those Christmas lights on why you should put your own well-being first and avoid succumbing to the pressure of creating a picture-perfect holiday. Our discussion further extends to the unprecedented challenges and heightened stress brought on by the pandemic, emphasizing why nurturing your mental health is more critical now in these trying times than ever, so let’s get a handle on it! Remember, it's okay to pause, breathe, and prioritize self-care amidst the holiday chaos.    So, let's raise our mugs of hot chocolate, toast to gratitude, and navigate the festive season with resilience and a dash of holiday cheer!
