The Managing Motherhood Podcast

Dec 7 2021 • 21 mins

The holidays are magical, unless you’re a mom who’s juggling a million tasks and on the way to burnout. In this episode, I share the following tips (for moms) on managing burnout during the holidays:

  1. Drop some balls: How many of your holiday traditions are actually necessary?
  2. Share the planning responsibilities: Even delegating is a task and requires invisible labor, so share the task of planning and delegating.
  3. Take the easy way out: Does the family really care if you use box cake mix?
  4. Schedule alone time: Your family will be fine when you get back.
  5. Participate in the fun: Be intentional about activating your relaxation response.


By applying these tips, you can have more fun and less stress this holiday season!
