Planning for the Holidays as a Working Mom
If I could compare October to something, I would say it's like sitting at the top of that first, very big roller coaster hill. 🎢
It's that moment of pause where you know what's coming and it's both terrifying and exciting.
You know that as soon as you reach the tipping point, you'll go flying down the other side at top speed!
October is when the ride really gets rocking and rolling as you zoom through the last two months of the year.
Regardless of if or what holidays you celebrate, or whether your kids are in school yet or not, there's so much that's packed into this time of year and it can be a challenge to stay just one step ahead.
But what about enjoying the ride?
I see so many women rushing through the season - moving from one event, activity, and to-do item to the next as it all goes by in a blur.
Then they collapse at the end of the year, completely exhausted, and just glad that it's over.
I created Stress Less This Holiday to help you get ahead of the season.
To help you think through all of your lists, decisions, activities and commitments so you can make sure it's all on the calendar and it all fits.
But I also created this workshop to help you create a holiday season that you'll enjoy.
Instead of defaulting to what you've always done or what you think it should look like, I want you to choose.
I want you to think intentionally about how you want the end-of-the-year to feel, what memories you want to make, and what it all means to you.
When you know what your vision is, everything else falls into place.
You know when to say yes or no.
You know what you have time for and what you don't.
And you know what to pay attention to and what to let go of.
But when the roller coaster is already starting to inch over the top of that hill, setting your intentions will be the first thing to go.
You'll be zooming down the hill so fast that you won't be able to stop and think about whether that invitation aligns with your priorities, or whether you're willing to change your plan.
There is no plan! And you'll just be trying to make sure that nothing falls through the cracks.
In Stress Less This Holiday, you get both.
You'll create your plan with lists and timelines and everything mapped onto the calendar. AND you'll create your vision. Your vision that will help you filter all of your decisions through, so you know how to respond to that last-minute invite or opportunity.
My goal is for you to get to the end of the year and feel at peace with the season you created.
To feel like you enjoyed the ride and were present through the ups and downs.
And I want you to have some energy left in the tank so you can start the New Year feeling refreshed.
Join me for Stress Less This Holiday on Thursday, November 7th from 12:00pm-1:30pm ET.
