Hey friend,

The holidays may be called “the most wonderful time of the year,” but between family drama, travel delays, and a to-do list longer than Santa’s naughty list, Christmas can also be a season of stress.

Studies show the average person spends a whopping 13 hours prepping for Christmas Day!

But after all that preparation, it takes less than just 13 seconds for stress to send our cortisol soaring.

And that’s bad news for our hormones.

In today’s episode, we’re wrapping up our “Holidays & Hormones” series and tackling 6 common holiday stressors, plus tools to help you stay calm, cool, and collected (without booking a solo trip to the Bahamas!)

In this episode, we’re diving into how to deal with:

• Not getting support for holiday prep

• Running out of time to get everything done before guests arrive

• Seeing a difficult relative you haven’t seen in a while

• Burning the holiday meal

• Giving a gift to a picky family member

• Dealing with holiday traffic (or a delayed flight)

If you’re one burnt pie or snarky comment away from having a complete hormonal meltdown, this episode is for you!
