Woman Made Well

Holiday Survival Tips

Candice Wood Episode 6

Welcome back to Woman Made Well! Today, I’m diving into a topic that’s on many of our minds as the holidays approach: how to navigate this season without the overwhelming stress. This episode was inspired by one of my patients who felt anxious about managing everything that comes with the holidays while still making it special for her family as a new Mom.

In this episode, we’ll explore practical ways to get through the holidays with more joy and less pressure. I’ll share tips for simplifying your plans, prioritizing what matters most, and creating meaningful family traditions without feeling like you have to do it all. We’ll talk about the importance of time—both how we spend it and who we spend it with—and how to cherish these moments without getting lost in the hustle.

I’ll also give you tools to handle tricky situations, including how to create an escape plan, manage specific anxieties, and set boundaries to protect your energy. By the end of this episode, you’ll have a game plan to make this holiday season one of connection, not chaos.

If this episode resonates with you, please share it with another mom who could use some holiday support in their own journey of motherhood. Don’t forget to leave a rating and review—it helps grow our community and keeps the conversation going. And as always, I’d love to hear how you’re planning to keep your holidays simple—connect with me on social media to share your thoughts and ideas!
