Podcast: EP 89 Harmony In the Holidays

Podcast: EP 89 Harmony In the Holidays

I felt inspired to share some tips for the season.

 

I was invited a couple of weeks ago to share on my local TV station some tips for staying present and mindful during the holiday season. It was a perfect invite because I had already been thinking about this topic for myself, and I loved preparing and sharing some ideas on the show. 

In this episode, I share some of my thoughts from the TV segment, as well as some extra nuggets that have helped me learn to make the most of the holidays, physically, mentally, and emotionally. My hope is that they support you in creating a holiday season that will nourish, inspire, and restore you this year.

“What are the pieces of the holidays that you love? Do more of that.”

Have you been scared of a big change?

 

Real talk friends: I’m about to get married and it’s brought up all the nerves about change and entering a new chapter. I know you can relate whether or not you’ve been married.

It’s such a normal part of growth and evolution, and the more we understand it, the easier we can move through it.

In this episode, I share stories from my own life of how I’ve faced big fears during big change and how I moved through it. I give you the tools and recommendations that help me and that I know can help you if you are facing big change right now.
