    What’s “Enough” at the Holidays?

    What’s “Enough” at the Holidays?

    Instead enjoying the peace of this special time of year,  it often feels like we’re pushed and pulled to do more, more, more. Or, if we’re experiencing hard things, it seems like holiday happiness is mandatory and there’s no room for our grief. So what’s really “enough” at the holidays? Emily shares a few ways to find “enough” and sit in the warm glow of hope, even when we’re struggling.

    Simplify Your Holiday Travel

    Simplify Your Holiday Travel

    Want to opt out of holiday travel stress? Us too. When it comes to having a smoother holiday travel experience, two things will help you out: a little planning and a lot of Starbucks. This week, Liz helps us think about those pesky details we often overlook whether we’re planning to hop in the car or on a plane for the holidays so we can say “bye!” to stress and “hello!” to holiday joy a bit sooner.

    Coping with Holiday Stress: Quick Tips for Emotional Wellness

    Coping with Holiday Stress: Quick Tips for Emotional Wellness

    During the holidays, taking care of ourselves often gets put on the back burner so we can take care of all the magic. But as Liz reminds us, there are small ways we can care for ourselves and our emotional wellness that don’t take up too much time or energy. And it’s only when we care for ourselves that we have the capacity to experience the joy and abundance of the season.

Like a helpful, encouraging friend

I am going through a busy and lonely season of motherhood and honestly… Listening to this podcast feels like Emily Ley is a helpful and encouraging friend. The content is informative, educational and always delivered in a straightforward, pleasant manner. This podcast, and the things I’ve learned from it, have improved my quality of life and I look forward to a new episode each week!

Krista LeBlanc ,

Brilliant, well organized and just what this Mom needs!

Emily Ley’s Simplified podcast comes right to the heart with weekly content that will nurture your soul. Like having a weekly coffee date with your absolute best friend, this podcast will fill you right up with support, love and grace. With topics including practical home organizational for busy families, week night meal ideas, managing the holidays in style, and what to do when the world seems heavy, Emily speaks from the heart with a realness that is incredibly rare on the internet. I listen weekly, as I find it helps to refocus my eyes on what matters most. I love the Emily is realistic with her expectations about what can be accomplished in a week. She had helped me to simplify my life making lots of room for family, practical routines, and fun! The best part about Thursday is the Simplified Podcast!

Meg85NL ,

Thank you!

I just wanted to reach out and thank you! Within the last few months I have found your podcast and I seriously look forward to the new one being released every Thursday. As a mom of a toddler with a husband who works away for over half the year your tips and tricks to simplify life have truly been a lifesaver! I am currently reading Grace Not Perfection as part of my daily morning routine and it has helped me ease into my morning and motivates me to be the best me and the best mom without being stressed!

I am looking forward to reading more of your books when I finish Grace Not Perfection!
