The holidays bring joy, lights, and—let’s be honest—a little more stress on the roads. In this episode, Randy explores how seasonal pressures impact our driving behavior, and why this time of year is the perfect opportunity to shift into a more generous, patient mindset behind the wheel. From last-minute shoppers to icy road conditions, we unpack how to channel the true holiday spirit—even in traffic.

💡 Topics include:

• Emotional self-regulation during holiday commutes
• Seasonal spikes in crashes and stress
• Why gratitude and space management matter more than ever
• The “emotional residue” that builds while driving
• Real-life examples of kindness (and chaos) on the road

🎁 Plus, hear how Randy learned to replace frustration with compassion—and how you can too.
