I've got a secret for you...

Hey friend, hey!

​

I've got a secret that might make your holiday season much sweeter! Are you ready?

Here it is: you're in control of your boundaries and your peace.

Now, I know that feels like a small secret at first glance, but read this entire email because all the deets come together and make great sense!

Historically, the holidays have meant time with family, reconnecting with old friends, and making memories at the close of the year. For some, it's also meant triggering questions from family, obligatory annual outings with cousins and local besties, and anxiety around how to show up in places where you don't truly feel comfortable anymore.

For you, it could be a myriad of emotions that span beyond what I've listed above.

But regardless of how you feel or what you're anticipating, you are in control of your boundaries and your peace.

What does that mean? It means that you get to choose how you respond to historical triggers and habitual line crossers. You get to decide all of the who, what, when, where, and hows of your holiday season. You get to set the tone for your emotional health and your happiness.

How? You may ask. And that's where this week's podcast comes into play.

I'm currently on a break from recording, but I invited some community leaders to take over the show and share the wisdom we need for the season we're in. Well, you're in for a treat because this week's guest hosts brought the HEAT!
