Today’s episode is a fun friend-to-friend chat about Christmas, and I am certainly bringing the Christmas ENERGY in this episode. I’m totally a “Christmas person” and I start getting excited about Christmas in July typically (not kidding). But, let’s talk about the elephant in the room… Resting and actually taking time off for the holidays doesn’t always come easy as business owners. There’s often a lot to do to “close out the year” and at the same time you’re ready to dream about the next year in your business, PLUS you have the everyday to do’s of life to keep up with. 

 

That’s what we’re talking about today. I’m sharing with you: 

  1. My time-off and rest strategy for Christmas that I do basically every year, and how you can do this yourself as well! (We’re talking practical planning here!) 
  2. Holiday bucket list ideas for you to do to strengthen your faith and enjoy the month of December, even in its chaos. 
  3. Tradition ideas – I’m totally a NEW mom, and I don’t have tons of traditions to share for with kiddos. But, I am sharing some traditions you could try with your spouse that we do and some family tradition ideas I love! 
  4. I’m sharing Advent resources, books, other podcast episodes, and things I think will help you out as you plan your own holiday season. 

 

So, that is our agenda. This is a GOOD EPISODE, if you often tell me that you wish I did more personal content – this is it. I’m excited to chat. Go get a peppermint mocha, a sugar cookie latte, or some wine and let’s dive into it!
