Ep46: Balancing Bargains & Boundaries - Plan Ahead for a Better Holiday Weekend

The Career Woman's Secret Playbook Podcast - with Dr. Dawn

Let's start with a reality many of us are familiar with: Memorial Day weekend, with its slew of sales and social events, can be a real test of our discipline and planning skills. It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of big discounts or the pressure to attend every gathering AND don’t even get me started on the fact that most people have completely forgotten what this holiday is really all about. So, what are some tips we can be thinking about right now for the upcoming Holiday weekend? Well ladies, come back and join me for Episode 46 and find out!

Hello and welcome to Episode 46 of "The Career Woman's Secret Playbook." I'm your host, Dr. Dawn, and today we’re diving into a very timely topic I’m calling, “Balancing Bargains & Boundaries.”
For ALL the details about these 3 tips and how to actually put these in place, tune in to today's episode!

Tip #1: First up, setting a budget. This is foundational. Before the holiday sales kick off, take a moment to review your finances.

Tip#2: Moving on to prioritizing and protecting your personal time. It’s a holiday after all, and it’s important to remember that rest and recreation are just as important as any other appointment in your calendar.

Tip #3: Lastly, balancing professional obligations with holiday events. For many of us, the lines between work and personal life are blurred, so be sure to communicate clearly with your colleagues and clients about your availability.

Memorial Day weekend should not be a source of stress but a time to celebrate and recharge. By setting financial boundaries and wisely choosing how we spend our time, we can enjoy the benefits of the holiday without the fallout of overspending or overextending ourselves. And as we wrap up today’s episode, let’s not forget our motto here on the podcast, and it’s this: “IF you are not having a fantastic day, YOU have the power to make it one.”
