How to Make Holidays Less Stressful with Dr. Laura Froyen
In this episode, we explore the different types of stress we face during the holiday season, including the stress we consciously choose versus the default stress we often fall into. We’ll share practical tips for making the holidays less stressful, from simplifying gift-giving to lowering expectations and creating space for what truly matters.

We also dive into the importance of questioning old customs and traditions, and how to create new ones that fit where we are in life—especially when our kids are at different ages or we’re navigating a new season.

One of the key takeaways is the power of setting an intention for the season—whether it’s choosing a word to guide us or simply deciding how we want to feel. We’ll also discuss the emotional side of the holidays, including post-holiday blues and how we can help our kids process feelings of loss or disappointment.
