The holidays are wonderful and also we're so glad when the busy, chaotic hum is over. But what if we could enjoy them at a more measured pace so that we didn't have to take that exhausted sigh of relief when they're over?  It's possible, and Kristen is here to tell us exactly how! If you're feeling the holiday overwhelm, this episode is for you. No more snipping at the kids because they don't want to play along. No more forcing family traditions that you think you should keep. Let's create the perfect family holiday season together.  To check out Family Connection Design Course (discount code: 100off valid until 12/1/23) and preorder my book, How I Fixed My Teen, visit me at heatherfrazier.com About my guest: Kristen Mattison is founder of the blog This Routine Life.
