Welcome to Week 1 of our Holiday Survival Guide — a 7-week series created for women in midlife who want to enjoy the holidays with less stress, more confidence, and a whole lot more joy.

In this introduction episode, we’re sharing the seven topics we’ll be diving into over the next several weeks — from navigating family dynamics to setting boundaries, managing holiday food, protecting your time and energy, and staying grounded through all the celebrations, expectations, and emotions.

We also open up about what we’re excited about this holiday season… and what makes us a little uneasy. (If you’re feeling that mix of joy + pressure, you’re not alone.)

This series is designed to help you:

✔ reduce holiday overwhelm

✔ avoid emotional eating + guilt cycles

✔ stay connected to what matters

✔ manage family stress + expectations

✔ protect your time + energy

✔ support your body + mental health

✔ feel more in control and less pulled in all directions

Every week comes with a free printable PDF you can use to plan, reflect, and stay centered.

If you’re a woman in your 40s, 50s, or beyond who wants a calmer, more intentional holiday season — you’re in the right place.
