The holiday season is upon us. Managing stress in general is a challenge, but managing holiday stress elevates it all! As a busy mom I want to love this time of year. Really, I do. There's just always been so much to do on top of an already impossible list of things needing my time and attention. Overwhelm sets in. Perfectionism takes over and I've wound up counting the days until it's all over and things can go back to normal. I don't want that for me or for you, so let's do something different. Much like when organizing a home, we can break things down into manageable steps to make it happen. Sometimes thinking a little differently about our never ending list allows us to do something different with it. In this quick podcast we are preparing for the holiday season by learning just what you can do to manage the stress that comes along with this joyful time of year.

Beth McDonald Corporate Intuitive and Astrologer Beth McDonald Consulting 22 North Voluntario Street, Unit B Santa Barbara, CA 93103 805-708-2935 thebusinesspsychic@gmail.com www.bethmcdonaldconsulting.com https://www.facebook.com/BethMcdonaldConsulting The holiday season is always fraught, but this year is going to be very different, and people need spiritual food. Things are really different this year due to a number of factors. I feel the biggest ones are the surging poverty levels, political polarization, and the changes in our population. Around the population issues, as you know, originally my concerns have been the pressure that aging boomers put on their families, friends and neighbors. But now, the impacts of the ICE raids means that there is now the added complication of empty seats at family and community tables for completely different reasons than most of us are used to. This is particularly poignant for people like me and Eric – ICE has been raiding my neighborhood, especially my street every week. Eric saw a man get abducted my them at the gas station on Quinientos and Milpas during Fiesta. All of this will be even more impacted by the government shut down – I have a feeling this is going to go a while. Trump is kind of famous for it. He's had more shutdowns than most presidents, and he holds the record for the longest one which is 35 days. This one is clearly going to go longer than that. I truly feel (and hope) that it will be over before Thanksgiving, but traditionally it takes a long time for individuals, families, and organizations to feel normal again once it is over. So, this is going to cast a big shadow on the holiday season. So that's just the stuff on the surface Astrologically speaking, there's a lot of retrograde energy throughout the holiday season, which forces us to be more judicious and intentional in our thoughts, speech, and actions. Most of them are between now and Hanukkah on December 14. Having so many retrogrades will force us to address older issues. Fortunately, that bit straightens out by Christmas and New Year's, but it's definitely a factor. So, the issue before us is how to make the proverbial lemonade out of our lemons this year. To a certain degree, this is always the issue, but it's exponentially more of one now. So maybe the title of this one should be something like this, The Alchemy of the 2025 Holiday Season: How to make Magic out of the Mayhem.

Feeling overwhelmed by the holiday rush? In this episode I'm sharing how I've found that small joys, like a quick YouTube break or a swipe of bright lipstick, can significantly boost happiness and ease perfectionistic pressures. These tiny habits help inject self-compassion into my day, allowing me to fully enjoy the present. For me, pairing mundane tasks with mood-boosting moments has made a huge difference and I hope these ideas help you bring genuine joy to your holiday season!

If you're staring down your first sober holiday season—Thanksgiving pies, Hanukkah candles, office parties, Sober Christmas, Sober New Year—and thinking, “how am I going to do all of this without wine?”, this episode is for you. You do not need alcohol to survive December. You need a plan, a few scripts, and permission to make the holidays work for you. I asked Kim Kerns, author of On The Edge of Shattered, to share how she got through Hanukkah, Christmas, and New Year's in her first 30 days alcohol-free—and what actually works when you're brand new and the social calendar is loud. Kim stopped drinking the Saturday after Thanksgiving, cleared the house of every last drop (yes, even the dusty whiskey), told the right people first, and built new traditions her family actually loves.

This week I break down the reality of going home for the holidays and how easily old environments can pull you back into old habits. We talk about the pressure of seeing friends and family who haven't witnessed your growth, why people say “you've changed,” and how to hold your line when they expect you to be the same version of yourself you used to be.I walk through the importance of setting clear boundaries before you travel, communicating your non-negotiables, and staying disciplined even when the entire season is built around temptation—food, alcohol, late nights, and emotional triggers. We dive into how to love your family without abandoning your routine, how to avoid slipping into familiar patterns, and how to protect the progress you've worked for all year.Interested in my private coaching & FREE workouts?

Are you trying to survive, or do you want to thrive this holiday season? I welcome back our resident psychologist, Dr. Jennifer Dragonette, to tackle the emotional whirlwind of the year-end holiday season. Both Dr. Jen and I felt it was time to reframe the usual "surviving the holidays" narrative. Instead of just getting through it, we talk about how you can actually enjoy and find meaning in this busy, sometimes stressful time. Together, we dig into four areas that create holiday pressure: financial strain, tricky family dynamics, the pain of losing a loved one, and dealing with career changes, especially job loss—all of which are heightened by the expectations we set for ourselves and others.

The economy and uncertainty around spending are huge hurdles for the average consumer going into the holidays.

What if the real Grinch of the holidays isn't your family, the chaos, or the to-do list… but your cortisol? Today, we're talking about the kind of stress that hijacks your healing without you even realizing it, and how to take back your calm.Welcome to Day 2 of The 12 Days of Holiday Resilience.Stress doesn't just live in your head, it lives in your body. And for anyone healing from cancer, autoimmune disease, neurological illness, or chronic inflammation, stress isn't just unpleasant… it's physiologically disruptive.When your brain senses stress, it shuts down digestion, suppresses immunity, pauses detoxification, and pulls your body out of its healing state. Even perfect nutrition can't override a nervous system stuck in survival mode.This episode breaks down exactly how stress impacts healing, and how simple, science-backed regulation techniques can help you shift your physiology back into repair, safety, and resilience.By the end of this episode, you'll learn:What stress actually does inside a healing body, and why chronic cortisol surges can stall remission.Why nervous system regulation is non-negotiable if you want your body to repair, regenerate, and stabilize.Three powerful, accessible tools, like the 4-7-8 breath, hand-to-heart grounding, and cognitive reframing, to bring your body back into safety anytime, anywhere.How to recognize the signs of “holiday overwhelm physiology” so you can intervene early, instead of crashing later.Why calm isn't a mood, it's a biological state that makes healing possible.You'll walk away with practices that restore safety, lower inflammation, and give you back a sense of control in the midst of seasonal chaos.Listen now to learn how to reclaim your calm, regulate your nervous system, and create moments of internal peace — not as a luxury, but as medicine for your healing body.Join us tomorrow for Day 3, where we'll explore how to stay consistent with the daily self-care habits that anchor your healing, even when the season tries to pull you off center.DisclaimerThis podcast is for educational purposes only and does not offer medical advice.
