    Protect Your Peace: Setting Boundaries For A Joyful Holiday Season w/Jenny Dalby

    The holidays should be a time of joy, connection, and celebration… but let’s be real: how often do you end up completely drained instead? Between the endless gift shopping, family obligations, and work deadlines, it’s easy to lose yourself in the chaos. So, let me ask you this: When was the last time you put yourself on your holiday to-do list? If you can’t remember (or if the answer is never), you’re not alone—but this season, it doesn’t have to be that way. On today’s episode, I’m sitting down with my girl Jenny Dalby to talk about setting boundaries that protect your energy, help you prioritize yourself, and create a holiday season that actually feels good. Jenny shares incredible insights, like: ✨ Why burnout isn’t inevitable—it’s a choice we make based on where we place our energy. ✨ How to set guilt-free boundaries with family, work, and social commitments. ✨ Simple, quick self-care practices to keep you grounded during the busiest time of year. But here’s the kicker: Jenny closes out the episode with a life-changing visualization that left me in a puddle of tears. 😭 It’s a powerful reminder of what truly matters during the holidays, and I promise you—it’s something you need to experience. Let’s take a moment together to make this holiday season about you—recharged, calm, and present. Tune in now, and don’t forget to grab some tissues for that visualization because this will leave you feeling all of the feels💖 LINKS: Connect with Jenny on Facebook
