Navigating the Holidays

As Ram Dass famously said, “If you think you’re enlightened, go spend a week with your family.” 

Well the holidays are upon on us and that is often the time of the year even the most spiritually disciplined of us struggle keeping our peace and sanity. There’s nothing like traveling, visiting family, present shopping in chaotic stores, a full calendar of cocktail parties and end of year dead lines at work to drive even the most zen of us a little cray-cray.

But, as with everything, this year presents us with an opportunity to do the holidays in a new light. We’ve done a lot of work through out the year and now we are ready to handle whatever the holidays throw at us — we just need a game plan! (And to keep up with our daily rituals and meditation practice!)

If you are worried about navigating the holidays, have no fear, I’ve got you covered. Over on the podcast and on my YouTube channel, I have recorded two special episodes just for you all about handling the stress and the obstacles that come up at this most joyous time of year.

Part One: Navigating Food and Family Stress This Holiday Season

• This episode is all about how to navigate holiday parties and family gatherings while still honoring your body’s wisdom and staying true to the foods and practices that feel best for you! We also dive into my “sober game plan” so that you go in prepared and some intention setting as well as conversational practices for relatives that just don’t know how to ask appropriate questions!

Part Two: Navigating Financial Stress this Holiday Season

• This episode is all about how to navigate all of the money stuff that comes up for us around the holidays! The joy of gift-giving, the worries of our bank account and the guilt or emotional spending of money we may not even have! The holiday season can be riddled with complicated financial feelings, let me help you go in with a game plan so you don’t let it sabotage the money you’ve worked so hard all year to make.
