My dad used to say: "The holidays are when we feel obligated to spend too much time, in too small a space, with people we don't really know… and spend money on things nobody needs." That's because holiday magic has nothing to do with perfection and everything to do with expectation management. You have my permission to simplify. Let go of the holiday in your head and enjoy the one happening in front of you.

Have you ever had a holiday hangover? No, I am not referring to the kind you might get from staying out too late or having one too many drinks. I mean how you feel after all the build-up of Christmas- the preparation, the cooking, the eating, opening of presents, and racing to parties- comes to an end often leaving you a little tired, a good bit in debt, and emotionally beat down. Several years ago, a woman with nine and a half decades of experience gave me some advice to help prevent that type of hangover from starting in the first place. Let me explain.

What if supporting women wasn't just an act of generosity, but an act of cultural change?

Send Us a Message!On today's episode, we share stories of kitchens loud with laughter, tamale days that turn work into ritual, and the healing power of nostalgia when it's used as a compass rather than a cage. You'll hear how legacy recipes, cookie plates, and craft swaps become more than things; they become carriers of memory and belonging. We also name the hard parts: control, isolation, and the fawn response that can make celebrations feel unsafe. Healing begins with safety, capacity, and one brave yes at a time—and we model how to create that with clear boundaries, small experiments, and support.In this episode, we explore:Balancing giving and receiving during the holiday seasonGratitude as a doorway to safe connectionRedefining holiday meaning through sensation and valuesHomemade gifts, craft swaps, and cookie exchangesHealing past harm and the fawn response around holidaysNostalgia as medicine and micro-traditions that stickAt the 35 minute mark, we offer a distance Reiki blast as a gift to you! For our Reiki blast, we invite you to breathe, feel your feet, and let the current alchemize what's heavy. Then, integrate with a simple journal prompt: Which joyful memories want to return as living rituals this season? By the end, you'll leave with practical ways to give from center, receive without guilt, and design micro-traditions—craft exchanges, cookie trades, communal meals—that make the holidays yours again.If this conversation nourished you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs a softer season, and leave a review to help more listeners find us.

Isaiah 9:2-7 - For Advent we'll be considering four passages from the Old Testament prophets that anticipated the coming of God's Spirit-anointed Messiah-King, who we know as Jesus Christ. In Isaiah 9, we get a picture of God's light entering the dark, breaking the chains of His people's oppression, and sending a Son to rule in perfect wisdom, strength, and peace. We learn that God doesn't fear the dark, but enters it with us to dispel it. A sermon by Cameron Heger. [Part 1 of our series “Advent in the Prophets”] Questions for reflection: 1) What is the difference between Advent and “the Holiday Season?” 2) How does Advent carry both a realistic and optimistic message? 3) What is God's relationship to darkness? 4) How is God's promised ruler different from the various ones that come and go in our world? 5) How does the cross illustrate the totally unique nature of Jesus's rule and reign?

Mensimah's Round Table: Conversations with Women of Power and Grace
Episode SummaryIn this warm and reflective holiday episode, we explore what it means to truly celebrate yourself—especially during a season often dominated by giving to others. As we move through Thanksgiving and into a brand-new year, this episode guides you through honoring your personal journey, building confidence through daily rituals of self-love, and practicing conscious giving without depletion.Through a heartfelt story, grounding mindfulness practice, and soulful reflection, you'll be reminded that self-celebration is not selfish—it's sacred.3 Things You'll Learn:1. Why reflection helps you reclaim your worth and how acknowledging your growth shifts your self-perception.2. Why rituals of self-love transform confidence and how the Hakini mudra and affirmations ground your energy and quiet self-doubt.3. How to give without draining yourself and why generosity is most powerful when rooted in intention.Key Story SharedYou'll hear about a woman—much like many of us—who spent years pouring into others while overlooking her own evolution. Through a simple candlelit ritual, she rediscovered her courage and began honoring her own journey.

So, what are the best things to buy, and what strategies can get you the best price today, this weekend, and of course, Cyber Monday? National Retail Expert and Chief Retail Analyst at H Squared Research, Hitha Herzgo, joins FOX Business' Gerri Willis to discuss expectations for this shopping season, and how both retailers and consumers have responded to the tariff uncertainty.

Hi Creative Cutie! The holidays...They're often a time that can trigger old wounds of all sorts. Definitely not the least of which, are wounds around our bodies and body image. I wanted to reshare this episode with you to help you gain some awareness and tools to heal your relationship to your body and gain Body Neutrality. More info below. I love you and happy Thanksgiving, if you celebrate!Original Description:TW: Eating Disorders and Body image.Today's guest is Jessi Kneeland. They are a queer and non-binary writer, speaker, podcaster and body image coach. Jessi started off as a physical trainer-- working with everyone from celebrities to supermodels and they found something interesting -no matter the body type, their clients always thought their bodies were not enough. This led Jessi to dig into their own body image, traumas and past to finally discover what helped them start their healing journey, which is something they call, Body Neutrality. As someone who has long suffered with a bevy of body image issues including eating disorders, disordered eating and just generally never feeling Like I have the “right” body…I can honestly say I find Jessi's work revolutionary and healing in such a deep way, it's hard to really put into words. Between their book Body Neutral, which comes out this June (and I highly recommend you pre-order now) and this conversation, I feel like I'm finally on a path to do some deep healing and rewiring in this area. I hope this chat will do the same for you.From today's chat, you'll learn:What exactly body neutrality isHow to stop self-objectifyingHow to build up self-advocacy and become your own protectorHow to get to the bottom of your body storyHow to distinguish body positivity from body neutralityWhat happens to your creativity when you take the focus off of how you lookOrder Jessi's book here: https://www.jessikneeland.com/product-page/sustainable-movement-a-body-neutral-guide-to-health-fitness

In Round 99 of the Tactical Transition Tips on the Transition Drill Podcast, the holiday season should feel joyful, but for many veterans and first responders it often feels like pressure disguised as celebration. When the lights go up and small talk begins, transition stress can surface faster than any festive spirit. Military veterans, Police officers, EMTs, and firefighters often carry more emotional weight this time of year, and if transition is on the horizon, the season can quickly become a silent test of identity. That's why this episode focuses on turning holiday stress into clarity, not chaos.This time it's tips on how the season can be used intentionally, even if it feels uncomfortable. Instead of performing for others, you'll learn how to observe, protect energy, and quietly prepare for the next phase of life after service. Transition isn't only about leaving the uniform, it's about who you're becoming next.This episode includes tailored guidance for each transition group:• Close Range Group (transitioning now to one year): Pre-loaded responses protect mindset during holiday conversations, and prevent emotional fatigue while you prepare for real decisions in the new year.• Medium Range Group (transitioning in about five years): The holidays are a rehearsal space where you can practice observing civilian communication and begin building awareness before pressure arrives.• Long Range Group (transitioning in a decade or more): Use this season to study influence, communication, scheduling, and identity so your future self isn't limited to a single role.For the military veteran or first responder navigating transition, clarity isn't always loud. Sometimes it's built quietly during holiday moments when you finally see who you've been, and who you're meant to become.The best podcast for military veterans, police officers, firefighters, and first responders preparing for veteran transition and life after service.

The holiday season is upon us. It's a wonderful time, but if we're being honest, it's also a little stressful. Whether you're worried about hosting a big family gathering, talking with cousins who have very different perspectives on politics or awkward questions from prying aunts, the holidays are full of complicated relationship dynamics. On this episode of “Modern Love,” Nedra Glover Tawwab, a therapist, responds to questions from listeners about making the holidays just a bit more tolerable. Tawwab is the author of “Drama Free,” a guide to having better relationships with family, and the forthcoming book “The Balancing Act,” which is all about creating healthy dependency within relationships. She tells us why Black Friday is her practice's busiest day of the year, and how we can all take control of our own holiday experience.
