Manage episode 519138646 series 2835012
Feel the holiday pressure mounting? This is your annual permission slip to opt out of what drains you and lean into what truly matters. In this episode, Sterling walks through setting calm, faith-filled boundaries so November–January don't steamroll your peace.
What you'll learnHow to choose holiday plans by time, money, and emotional energy—on purpose
The difference between a clean, joyful "yes" and a guilt-driven "should"
A simple way to make your holiday list now (so last-minute guilt doesn't decide for you)
Loving scripts for saying no to events, gift exchanges, and long travel
Low-stress grandparent gifts (hello, one family photo book for all)
Why it's holy to let kids feel disappointed (RIP, Elf on the Shelf)
Discernment check: does this draw us closer to Jesus—or just add noise?
