The holidays are meant to be about peace, joy, and togetherness … but they often end up steeped in chaos, rush, and overspending.

Not this year! There’s really no better time than right this minute to practice slowing down and getting intentional before we say yes to another obligation or hit 'add to cart'.

On today's show podcast host Desirae Endres reminds us that the holidays aren't just for kids; they are for us to enjoy too.

Here's a preview:

[6:30] First things first: We can't manufacture perfection, and kids make their own magic

[11:00] Are you the behind-the-scenes magic maker? The importance of remembering what YOU love about the season

[23:00] Protect your peace by zeroing in on what's within your control

[29:00] Focus on contentment, not on comparison! Shining light on the chasm between our idealized (ahem...commercialized) celebrations versus real life
