76. Do Less Tips for A Sane and Satisfying Holiday Season

Plenty with Kate Northrup

Is your holiday season filled with more stress than joy? Join me as I share how simplifying your celebrations can transform this festive season into one of genuine connection and happiness.

In this episode of the Plenty podcast, I dive into my own journey of creating a holiday season that feels magical yet manageable. I’ll be reflecting on the moments and traditions that bring me genuine joy and connection and exploring ways to let go of the pressure to “do it all.” Together, let’s reimagine holiday magic in a way that’s rooted in meaningful connections rather than endless obligations.

I’ll be sharing practical ways to rethink holiday expectations and traditions, especially when it comes to navigating the commercialization and societal pressures that can often overshadow our true intentions. We’ll talk about how to focus on what matters most—whether it’s managing gift-giving with grace or setting gentle boundaries with family—to reclaim a season filled with presence, magic, and love.

Tune in for actionable insights on how to enter the new year feeling renewed and rested, and let’s make this holiday season one that truly honors your joy.

“The greatest gift you can give the people you love is your joy and your presence.” -Kate Northrup
