The holidays can feel like a lot. Too many commitments. Too many expectations. Too much saying yes when your body is quietly begging for rest.
In this episode of Redo You, Emma shares a simple, practical reset to help you calm holiday overwhelm and create boundaries that actually feel good. This isn’t about doing less for the sake of it. It’s about taking care of your nervous system so you can enjoy the season instead of just getting through it.
If you find yourself overcommitting, people-pleasing, or counting down the days until the holidays are over, this episode will help you pause, reset, and choose what truly matters to you.
In this episode, we cover:
• Why holiday overwhelm happens so easily
• How to identify what you don’t want before deciding what you do want
• A simple two-list reset to create clarity and calm
• How to set holiday boundaries without over-explaining or feeling guilty
• Giving yourself permission to choose comfort, rest, and joy
