Holiday stress is a thing, y’all. (Ask me how I know!) Big days can elicit big emotions! If you wonder what stress looks like in your life without you even realizing it and what you can do to live with more peace and joy - this episode is for you.

Join Megan as she discusses:

• The power of the big juicy counter offer!

• The importance of mining to understand your feelings and be able to clearly communicate that to others. 

• 5 ideas of practical things you can do to combat stress in a healthy way. 

Questions you’ll ask yourself in this episode:

• What anticipated future event is causing stress right now?

• Envision your holiday season. What matters to you most? Write it down so you have a vision before everything happens of what other events are negotiable.

• What do you need to do in order to serve from a full cup rather than running on empty?
