Are the holidays bringing more emotional chaos than cheer into your life?

Join Steve Alessi, Lauren Alessi, and licensed mental health counselor Ryan Landau as they unpack the real challenges of holiday stress, seasonal mood swings, and family drama.

You'll get key insights on seasonal affective disorder, financial anxiety, loneliness, and the unique pressures men and women face during this time of year - as well as practical tips for setting boundaries, finding community, and staying intentional—even when family relationships get tricky.

You’ll learn how small shifts like slowing down, budgeting, and focusing on others can dissolve stress and create joyful memories.

With candid stories and professional insights, the conversation breaks down why it’s perfectly normal to feel overwhelmed and how to navigate tough moments with more awareness, connection, and self-care.

My Morning Devotional

In this episode, Steve and Mary Alessi are diving into a topic every Christian family wrestles with—what should we be watching?

When shows like Stranger Things and other popular series are based on dark themes, violence and anti-family values, should we draw the line and protect our families from being influenced?

Steve and Mary Alessi provide some much-needed perspective on how to navigate entertainment choices in a world that's constantly pushing boundaries, so you can tell the difference between being overly religious and being wisely discerning about what to allow into your home.

Whether you're a parent trying to set healthy boundaries for your kids, struggling with what's "too much" for your family, or just tired of every show pushing an agenda you don't agree with, this conversation will help you think through how to protect your home while staying grounded in biblical wisdom, not fear.
