It’s Santa Season again…. the season of tinsel, turkey, and to-do lists longer than a John Lewis queue on Christmas Eve. And if you’re anything like me, you’re probably feeling the energy drain kicking in already.

Because let’s face it… Christmas post-divorce is a lot. There’s the emotional rollercoaster, the endless logistics, the awkward family gatherings, and let’s not forget dodging those mood hoovers who suck the life out of you faster than a hoover plugged into a turbocharger.

But here’s the thing, Christmas doesn’t have to leave you feeling like a wrung-out dishcloth. This week on the podcast, I’m diving into how to manage your energy at Christmas… because protecting your peace isn’t just a nice idea, it’s absolutely essential this time of year.

🎧 In this episode, you’ll learn:

🎄 How to budget your energy like cash in a bank (some interactions are not worth the withdrawal)
🎄 Hacks to deal with energy vampires/ mood hoovers….whether it’s the nosy aunt or the ex stirring drama.
🎄 Quick ways to recharge when you’re running on empty (no, you don’t need a week-long retreat)
🎄 How to say ‘yes’ and ‘no’ strategically so you’re not spending Christmas stretched thinner than wrapping paper.

Plus, I’m sharing practical tips for managing the physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion that can creep in during the holidays. Think of it as your survival guide for keeping the season merry and not mentally exhausting.

Whether you’re dealing with chaotic schedules, nosy relatives, or just trying to make it through the holidays without a “menty B” (mental breakdown), I’ve got you covered.

Wishing you the best Christmas, whatever it looks like for you, and sending you SO much love,

P.S. Oh, and because I know you’re putting everyone else first right now (don’t think I don’t see you 👀), a little reminder: this month’s Divorce Book Club pick is The Self-Care Project by Jayne Hardy. Consider it my nudge to you…. this Christmas, you deserve to be at the top of that list.
