What is your current connection and relationship with the holidays? It’s so easy to get swept up in the consciousness of what we’re “supposed” to be doing and the expectations that others might have, but in this episode, I want to change all of that and give you a fresh perspective on this time of year. 

In this potent episode, you’ll hear: 

• A reflection on the current connection and relationship most of us have with the holidays  and the importance of creating and intentional holiday season for you and your Beautiful Soul-Led Life [3:54]
  
• The co-creation opportunity we have this holiday season and the specific questions to ask yourself to begin this process [6:45]
  
• What my Christmas looked like as a child and the way we tend to lose the magic of the holidays as adults [7:45]
  
• How each of the FemmeTypes can be used to support you in creating your ideal holiday season [12:27]
  
• One of the things that we do to keep the magic of Christmas alive in our family and an invitation I have for you to do the same, if you feel called to [17:23]
  

This episode is dedicated to the idea and the importance of relaxing into the holidays, and gifting ourselves the permission to enjoy the holiday we desire, not the one that is expected of others.

We would love to hear what resonated the most with you from this episode and how this conversation helps you shift the way that you are approaching the holidays as you live your most authentic and desirable Beautiful Soul-Led Life.

Quotes: 

“We can be incredibly intentional to not get swept up in the expectation and to really slow down and ask ourselves the types of questions that will support us in co-creating the type of holiday that we desire to have.” [3:54]

“We do the thing sometimes where we have been disappointed in the past and we say we’re ok with whatever it is, and we pull our own desire energy back from co-creation. We’re thinking we’re surrendering, when in fact what we’re doing is playing super passive.” [5:56] 

“I feel like as we get older, we start to lose it and we step into this expectation of how we are supposed to create the holidays for others, what we’re supposed to do or what people expect from us, and we lose that magic.” [11:31] 

“Anything you create, any experience that you intend to create, will be your own definition of whatever it is you’re wanting to experience. Whether it’s magic or it’s beauty, there are no limits here, so you get to have this conversation with your Frenchie and ask, ‘what do i want to enjoy?’” [15:06] 

“What are the things that you want to enjoy? Your Frenchie will support you in reminding you of that. What are the enjoyment pieces and then what are aligned actions that will support you in that experience? What do you require to do, and do it with joy, do it with pleasure, do it with light and do it with life?” [16:06]
