Let this calendar help guide you into the new year with light, peace, and calm.

Do you feel like you are constantly getting thrown off-kilter by every little thing that happens in your life? Are you being reactive instead of proactive? Take back control and feel more centered when you learn to roll with the punches and plan for life rather than letting it wreck your plans.

During this time of year especially it is so hard to not compare yourself or your life to the lives of others. Comparing your life with a snapshot of someone else's will do nothing but bring you down! You are authentically you, and that is to be celebrated!

Merry Christmas everyone! Looking over this past year I am so thankful for all of you and the changes I have seen in your lives. You are a blessing to me and I can't wait to see what comes next!

During this time of year, it is *so* important to be mindful of how much you are pouring out of your cup! Every commitment and "yes" takes more of your energy and time, so be sure to choose wisely and know when to say no. ⁠
⁠
Take a deep breath and identify what is most important to you this Holiday Season, and then decide what's worth it from there!

Boundaries are important year-round, but can feel especially crucial during the already busy holiday season! It's important to prioritize your health and wellbeing, so don't be afraid to set boundaries with friends and family surrounding time, commitments, energy, food, or anything else that can cause additional stress. Give yourself permission to say no without guilt this season.

Treat yourself (or a loved one) with the gift of productivity and rejuvenation this Christmas! The Feed Your Rockstar Signature Retreat is your calling to amp back up the volume in your life by reawakening, recharging, and in some cases retooling your inner Rockstar. ⁠
⁠
Sign up or gift a spot today! DM me for more info.

Here is your 🌟Reminder🌟 to take care of yourself too this Holiday season! It can be so easy to get caught up in everything you need to do and everywhere you need to be and miss the beautiful little moments. So brew yourself some peppermint tea or your favorite coffee blend and sit facing your lovely tree and simply enjoy for a moment. Happy Holidays!

Have you heard this rhyme before? It's a great way to keep gift giving simple and intentional. It's easy to overbuy and then your home starts the new year overloaded with new things you might not even use! Follow this guide and see your Holiday season in a brand new, stress-free light! ⁠ ⁠

We've all got a lot going on during the holidays... Let's simplify them with a few tips to keep you organized and enjoying what's most important! 🎄
•
Make a family Holiday calendar- Your work Christmas party and your kid's recital and your spouse's family get-together are all weighing on your mind... Get them out of your head and onto paper! Having a family calendar with everything coming up in one place can make it easy to make sure nothing is missed, and help you identify what you can cut if you are feeling overwhelmed.
•
Mealplan for less stress/eating out- Avoid that last-minute pizza or grocery store run because you don't have what you need to make your famous cheeseball for the family party by making a meal plan! Knowing what you need and having it at your fingertips is half the battle and you are a warrior.
•
Let go of traditions you don't enjoy- Sometimes we get lost in repeating what we've always done- instead of focusing on the things we really enjoy and add value to our holiday. Make a list of which traditions work for you and don't spend energy on the rest.
•
Organize your gift giving- Do you find yourself grabbing random things you see that you feel like someone would like or hunting for a last-minute present for the coworker you forgot? Making a list and checking it twice 😉 can save you time, money, and stress. Write down who needs a present, any ideas you have, what you have for them already, their budget, and what you've spent so far. This ensures you get everyone a present they will love without breaking the bank- or your sanity.
