    319: Don’t Make These Big Mistakes- Do This Instead This Holiday Season!

    Tired of trying to be the holiday superhero while clinging to your last shred of sanity? If you’re the one orchestrating the holiday magic (and probably losing a little hair over it), this one's for you. We’re diving into that festive frenzy where moms end up juggling gift lists, holiday cards, and 27 different kinds of cookies while wondering if there’s enough wine in the world to survive it. Today, we’re serving up some much-needed real talk about setting boundaries and ditching those holiday perfection traps. Forget the Instagram-worthy gingerbread house and focus on what actually brings joy. Spoiler: It’s not the perfectly frosted sugar cookies but maybe letting someone else handle dinner (yes, store-bought counts). And hey, if the thought of one more Christmas card makes you twitch, skip it. This season, we’re all about delegating, saying no, and choosing self-care over burnout. Because let's be honest—your happiness is worth way more than a picture-perfect holiday mantel.  Resources We Shared: Have a million holiday tasks taking up brain space?

    318: 3 Myths About Productivity Hacks That Keep You Stuck in a Toxic Cycle with Israa Nasir, MHC-LP

    Ever found yourself color-coding your family’s Google calendar while stress-eating a half-eaten granola bar you found in the bottom of your purse for lunch? (No judgment, we’ve all been there.) In this episode, we’re tackling that sneaky little habit we call “toxic productivity.” You know, the one that whispers, "You’re not doing enough," even when you’re crushing it like a multitasking superhero. Our guest Israa Nasir is a New York City-based psychotherapist, founder of WellGuide—a digital community for mental health awareness, and author of the new book: TOXIC PRODUCTIVITY: Reclaim Your Time and Emotional Energy in a World That Always Demands More.  We’re going to break down why being busy doesn’t always mean being productive and how trying to do it all might actually be burning us out faster than our kids can say, "What’s for dinner?" Spoiler alert: multitasking is a lie, perfectionism is overrated, and squeezing in some actual fun might just be the secret sauce to a happier life. Resources We Shared: Join our newsletter!
