14 Why the holidays can be so challenging for women, and what we can do about it

In this episode Erica and and Britt discuss the challenges that the holiday season can bring about for women. During what should be a time for deep rest and nourishment, many women find themselves over-burdened with todo's and totally neglecting their own needs, so that come January, they are exhausted and depleted.

Join us in flipping the script this year!

"If you choose not to find joy in the snow, you will have less joy and the same amount of snow"


Episode Highlights:

  • Women, and moms in particular, carry a heavy mental load during the winter/holiday season
  • Humans are biologically wired to slow down during this time of year, and yet we are typically busier and more stressed than in any other season
  • What is the feeling we are after when we participate in holiday activities? Can we let that question guide our actions?
  • How setting boundaries is essential and what that looks like for Erica
  • What we can do to fill up our own cups during this time
  • What has helped Britt cultivate greater alignment with this season?
  • Why continuing to prioritize joy can help us call in the magic we desire for this season
