As we move into a season that’s meant to feel magical, so many of us secretly feel stretched thin, overwhelmed, and unsure how to manage all the expectations. In this episode of Parenting Through Connection, I open up about navigating the holidays with compassion for both ourselves and our kids, and how boundaries can help us stay grounded, present, and connected to what truly matters.

Keep listening as I explore:

• Why the holidays feel so intense and how to notice the signs your capacity is maxed out
• What boundaries really are, and why they are not selfish, rude, or a punishment
• How to identify what truly matters to you this season, when making energy protecting choices
• What to do when guilt kicks in or others react emotionally to your decisions
• A practical mindset shift to help you stop carrying other people’s feelings as your own

The holidays don’t have to mean putting yourself last. When you honour your limits, you create space for the memories that really matter. If communicating boundaries feels especially hard, check out my Communication and Conflict Resolution Guide. Thanks for tuning in!
