    62: Realistic Ways to Create a Magical Holiday Season for Your Family

    "It doesn't have to be perfect in order for it to be beautiful. It doesn't have to be perfect in order for it to be special. It doesn't have to be perfect in order for it to be memorable. It's not about everything being perfect. It's about everyone being together and making memories. Focus on being present, not perfect." - Stephanie Booe The holidays can bring on a whole new level of stress, making us feel inadequate if we don't have picture perfect table scapes or photo worthy trips to the pumpkin patch. If you're already starting to feel the pressure of the holiday season, then go ahead and hit play because this episode is going to be a breath of fresh air. As you listen, you'll be encouraged to step away from consumer culture and the pressure to overspend, overcommit, and oversaturate your holiday season with unnecessary "stuff." Instead, you'll be inspired to have slower and more intentional holidays with simple traditions that are geared towards bringing you together as a family. Running out of ideas or feeling like you have no idea where to start? No worries, mama. I have you covered. I have a full list of easy, yet effective ideas to help you intentionally pour into your family from October to December. Somewhere along the way, we all got so caught up in overcommitting and overspending during the holiday season. We don't want to get to January feeling like we just ran a full marathon, exhausted and wondering how much money we spent. Instead, I'm bringing a new perspective to the table and I'm challenging our perspective on what really matters during this time. If you've ever felt the unnecessary pressure to create the most magical holiday for your family or your kids, this conversation will help you to feel seen and heard, while guiding you into a new way of holiday living and helping you to maximize your joy this season.

    In today's episode, I had the incredible honor of inviting Dr. Kim Snider to come sit in my living room and share her story through chiropractic care, breast cancer, and pregnancy loss. In the beginning of this episode, we begin by learning from Dr. Kim's wisdom on all things chiropractic care. She's the founder of her own chiropractic practice and she walks us through the journey of what led her to be a chiropractor, benefits of being regularly adjusted, how a chiropractic adjustment can benefit everyone from newborn babies to an older generation, and how you can find a reliable chiropractor in your area. In the second half of the episode, Dr. Kim shares her personal journey through her breast cancer diagnosis followed by her pregnancy loss. She takes us step by step of what this journey looked like for her and how she found healing in every stage of her story. Her story is a powerful testimony of healing, starting with her work at the chiropractic clinic and into her own personal story. This episode is a full of golden nuggets that I know will resonate with all of us and encourage us in some area of our life.
