149 | My Current Holiday To-DON’T List

The holidays have a way of quietly piling on expectations — more traditions, more events, more spending, more pressure to make everything magical. In today’s episode, I’m inviting you into a different approach: creating a Holiday To-Don’t List. Instead of asking yourself what else you can squeeze in, we’re talking about how to intentionally protect your capacity so you can actually enjoy this season. I’m sharing why this practice has become a non-negotiable for me as a mom and business owner, and how saying no to the right things has completely changed how December feels in our home. We’ll walk through what a Holiday To-Don’t List really is, why trying to do it all leaves you drained and disconnected, and how social media often fuels expectations that don’t align with real life. I’m also sharing specific examples of what I’m choosing not to do this year and why each one creates more margin for what matters most. If you’ve ever ended the holidays exhausted, wondering where the joy went, this episode is your permission slip to slow down, simplify, and build a holiday rhythm that honors your values, your family, and your capacity. I pray this episode encourages you!
