Podcasts about holiday season

This week on ShrinkChicks, we're talking all about that very exciting (and stressful) holiday coming up … Thanksgiving! Em and Jen are unpacking the messy mix of gratitude, giving, receiving, and toxic positivity that tends to come with the holidays. From the anxiety of picking the perfect present to the vulnerability of accepting gifts (or help and compliments), they explore why balance and authenticity matter more than forced thankfulness.They also dig into the psychology behind giving and receiving including why generosity can sometimes mask control, why constant positivity can be draining, and how “you should be grateful” can turn into a weapon. Listener questions cover silver-lining pressure, gratitude fatigue, jealousy during the holidays, and how to stay grounded when life isn't all pumpkin pie. Because being thankful doesn't mean pretending everything's perfect; it just means letting the real stuff coexist with the good.Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!

In this highly anticipated annual episode of The Voice of Retail, host Michael LeBlanc welcomes back Eric Morris, Managing Director of Retail at Google Canada, to unpack Google's 2025 Holiday Retail Insights Report—a tradition that has become a favourite among Canadian retailers. Eric brings more than two decades of experience helping brands leverage Google Search, YouTube, and AI-driven technologies to drive omnichannel performance, and this year's conversation reveals the most transformative shift yet: Canada's first AI-powered holiday shopping season.Eric begins by exploring the deep behavioural changes driving consumer decision-making. According to the report, 73% of holiday purchases were researched in advance, and nearly half occurred more than a week after initial contemplation—a sign that today's shoppers are more choiceful, deliberate, and digitally engaged than ever. He explains that Canadians have long punched above their weight in digital savviness, consistently searching, streaming, and banking online more than global counterparts. But this year stands apart as AI tools—both visible and invisible—reshape the search experience.With AI Overviews, conversational AI mode, and rapidly improving multimodal search, Canadians are now issuing longer, richer, more specific queries. Whether a shopper types, speaks, or snaps a photo to find an item, retailers must be prepared to surface high-quality, AI-ready content. Eric stresses that this shift mirrors prior digital “moments” such as mobile and the pandemic-driven eCommerce surge—but AI is scaling even faster. Nearly half of Canadians plan to use AI tools during holiday shopping, and the true number is likely higher because many encounter AI without realizing it.The conversation also examines the rising influence of Gen Z, the most search-intensive generation. Gen Z shoppers use 10 or more sources when researching purchases and increasingly rely on tools like Circle to Search and YouTube reviews, unboxings, and creator-led content. Their behaviour underscores the need for retailers to deliver richer product information—from enhanced descriptions to 3D imagery to short-form video.Looking toward 2026, Eric outlines the timeless fundamentals retailers must prioritize—being discoverable early, winning peak holiday moments, and understanding omnichannel impact rather than measuring digital purely through eCommerce. But he also emphasizes new imperatives: generating AI-optimized product content at scale, enriching feeds and attributes, and preparing for agentic shopping journeys where AI assists (or even automates) research and selection.Check out Google's Holiday Research 2025 Here.   The Voice of Retail podcast is presented by Hale, a performance marketing partner trusted by brands like ASICS, Saje, and Orangetheory to scale with focus and impact.

The holiday season isn't always merry and bright and that's something I've learned to really sit with over the years. In this episode of Raising Serotonin, I open up about the emotional side of the holidays the dread, the pressure, and the heaviness that can creep in even when we “should” be feeling joyful.I share how seasonal depression and the change in light can impact our mood, and why the end of the year often feels like emotional overload. Together, we'll talk about giving ourselves permission to feel what's real not what we think we're supposed to feel and how we can gently shift our focus toward gratitude and small moments of joy.If the holidays bring up old wounds or just feel hard, you're not alone. Let's walk through it together and find ways to bring a little more peace, purpose, and light into this season. FOLLOW RAISING SEROTONIN ON INSTAGRAM HERE Support the show

The holiday season is make or break time for retailers, as the last two months of the year can account for more than 20 percent of annual sales for many businesses. But this season is expected to be like none other, as 2025 marks the first year with agentic AI rewriting the retail playbook, from marketing to customer support. In this podcast for Retail Rx, David Dorf, global head of retail solutions at Amazon Web Services (AWS) chats with Ian Fredericks, chief executive officer of Hilco Global Capital Solutions and executive director of Hilco Global's retail and consumer platform. They explore the many ways agentic AI is being used to help retailers seize this next chapter, and whether retailers should have a chief AI officer.  “When we talk about agentic AI, it's really based on the word agency, so we're giving the [large learning model] autonomous ability to go out and act on our behalf,” said Dorf, explaining that there's a “litmus test” he uses to see if it's really an agent. One, can it reason? Two, does it have access to tools – like a weather site – that can help it make a decision? And three, is it autonomous? Answer engines with AI summaries are another growth area. “Around 75 percent of people have said that they have used an answer engine to start their shopping journey before,” said Dorf. “We're going to see more of that. Walmart said has about 20 percent of their referral traffic is coming from these answer engines; people asking it a generic question and ending up at the Walmart site. So this pretty impactful.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Are you already exhausted… and the holidays haven't even started yet? If you're living with MS, you know this isn't just "a busy time of year," it's a minefield of energy drains, flare triggers, and invisible pressure to do it all.

But here's the shift: you don't need to do more this season - you need to protect what matters most. Let's do it together on today's episode.

As the holidays roll around, and daylight retracts, the thoughts also cloud over to infuse the mind with a grayish motif. We're encouraged to gather our loved ones close and practice gratitude for life's bounty. But, what if life's gifts have been obscured by the overwhelming influence of a mortal depression, a reflection of the disconnect between what we see around us - (disease, deprivation, tyranny, man's inhumanity to man, etc.) - and, the opposing commercial messages which exhort us to joyfully consume? Is this dark attitude the result of an imbalance of chemicals in the brain which can be easily adjusted by the ingestion of a pill? Or, is the undertow into hopelessness something more fundamental - an irreconcilable part of our genetic makeup - a part of life we just have to stoically accept and get on with? Great artists reckon with these impulses by creating profound music. Today we celebrate two of the most striking practitioners of this heroic enterprise: Will Oldham and Nick Drake.WILL OLDHAMI See a Darkness is a masterpiece of simple straight talk about the things most of us never say. It expresses an honest representation of the apprehension that a sensitive soul feels, yet mostly keeps to themself about the inevitability of the abyss. Death walks beside us at all times, and, it helps to staunch the bleeding of fear by keeping our blindfolds on. But, sometimes, there is an urgency to share these thoughts with a friend or a counselor, and the monologue of this song invites us into that private conversation. It packs an overwhelming punch. Johnny Cash also interpreted this song near the end of his life as everything in his being boiled down to the basics. Bonnie Prince Billy, aka Will Oldham is a DIY, Kentucky based actor-musician with a diverse resume, featuring projects with many collaborators. He's a married man with a child, and perhaps all this inter-activity has grounded him and kept him productive. This makes sense - there is raw boned sense of the practical inherent in his style that complements the mystical. NICK DRAKEThe doomed, etherial Nick Drake was not so lucky. He stood apart, and was other-worldly from the beginning, always uncomfortable in his own skin. His recorded output was sparse, and number of his performances minimal, yet profound in their influence. Dead at 26 from an overdose of antidepressants, Nick didn't live long enough to see the reach that resonates with his work today, 50 years after his passing. River Man, in 5/4 time plucked on a nylon string guitar, abetted by a serene string arrangement by Harry Robertson, is a mysterious descent into the deep waters of associative imagery. Nothing is overtly stated, but the character of Betty and the narrator going to see the River Man who has the answer to the meaning of life puts me in mind of the Millais' painting of drowned Ophelia, floating in the river, surrounded by flowers. At peace at last.

This episode explores how to give meaningfully and strategically—whether to loved ones or charitable causes. It breaks down the full spectrum of gifting options, from cash and collectibles to donor-advised funds and charitable trusts, while explaining the powerful tax benefits of thoughtful giving. Listeners will learn how to maximize their impact, avoid common pitfalls, and align their generosity with their personal values. It's a practical, feel-good guide to making every dollar you give this season count—for both you and the people or causes you care about most.

The holidays are here, and it's time to raise a high gravity toast!

In this episode of the CRE with CBC Worldwide podcast, host Dan Spiegel engages with James Cook, America's Director of Research of Retail at JLL, to explore the evolving landscape of retail real estate as the holiday season approaches. They discuss consumer behavior trends, the impact of inflation on spending, the resurgence of quick service restaurants, and the contrasting dynamics between urban and suburban retail. The conversation also delves into the rise of experiential retail, the challenges faced by traditional drugstores, and the strategies employed by major retailers like Walmart. Additionally, they highlight the importance of data in site selection and the influence of social media on consumer choices, culminating in predictions for the upcoming holiday shopping season.

The holidays can bring so much joy, but let's be honest, they can also bring stress. Between travel, family gatherings, endless food options, and your normal routine flying right out the window, it's easy to feel like you've lost your rhythm.   But this season doesn't have to derail your progress or your peace. It just requires a little intention. So today, I'm sharing seven simple rules that will help you stay consistent, confident, and in control, without missing out on any of the fun.    These are the exact things I remind myself of every single holiday season, and they're the same strategies I teach inside Movement with Julie and Macro Counting Made Simple. What I Discuss: How to navigate the holiday season without losing your rhythm or peace Simple strategies to stay consistent and confident through the chaos How to enjoy food and family without guilt or restriction The mindset shift that makes progress sustainable year-round Practical tips to balance health, happiness, and holiday fun   If you loved this one, I think you'll also love Episode 586: Pre-Holiday Pep Talk: How to Stay Consistent and Confident Through the Holidays   If you want more from me, be sure to check out...

AI is taking over EVERYTHING, from chatbot crushes to fake artists topping the music charts, but this new holiday trend might be the creepiest yet. Parents are buying an AI‑powered version of Elf on the Shelf… and experts say it’s turning a cute tradition into full‑on surveillance. Is it harmless fun or nightmare fuel? This episode breaks down the viral AI toy dividing families, why some parents swear by it, and why psychologists say no one should use it.

The holidays can feel like a full-contact sport: less daylight, more demands, and an endless push to perform joy on cue. We're flipping that script. Heather shares a clear, compassionate plan to move through the season rooted and rested—anchored in what matters, nourished by simple food, and protected by boundaries that keep your peace intact.We start with energy: why the time change hits hard, how a full-spectrum “happy light” can help mood and sleep, and the mindset shift that turns rest from a reward into a prerequisite. From there, we get practical about family dynamics. Think of it like your emotional grocery list—what you'll give, what you won't, and where you'll refill when conversations go sideways. You'll hear scripts to defuse food policing and politics, plus ways to step out of old roles without igniting new drama.Food gets simple and sane. Eat breakfast for steady blood sugar, build a plate with color and protein, hydrate to protect energy, and let go of guilt so one meal doesn't erase a month of care. We talk about realistic holiday nutrition, not diet rules—just small moves that keep you out of the crash-and-crave cycle. And because comfort starts in the kitchen, Heather invites you to a free live cooking class: a restorative, beginner-friendly soup that proves dinner can be calm, cozy, and fast.Want support that isn't noisy or salesy?
