021: Reduce Holiday Stress

12/20/22 • 22 min

We’re back! Diana and her family moved during the break. There was so much to manage between the old house, new house, contractors, sick kids, and all the things! But she’s mostly unpacked and so excited to be back this week! After a longer-than-expected break, Diana is back just in time for a holiday episode.

It’s Christmas week, and if you celebrate, you know how wonderful and magical it can feel but also so overwhelming and stressful at the same time. Moms have an unfair amount of things they have to do to make it magical for everyone else.

In this episode, Diana shares ways to reduce the overwhelm and stress around the holidays.

We’ll also discuss:

The holidays look different depending on the season of life you’re in, and you have permission to do less. You do not have to do it all.
There can be too much of a good thing! Try to “declutter” your holiday season.
Are there things you can delegate or ask for help with? Do that. If not for this year, make notes of what you can do for next year.

We have the biggest decluttering challenge starting January 1st! It only happens twice a year, and the January challenge always has the most progress.

022: The One Resolution You Need

If you celebrate Christmas or any holiday in December, towards the end of the year, moms can be in full exhaustion mode. You’ve likely been in go, go, go mode since Halloween, and now the new year is right around the corner. There’s hope for a new beginning—a fresh start. When you decide what your resolution, or goal, will be for the new year, decluttering is the one resolution you need.

When you think of anything that you want to achieve, whether it be improving your health, relationships, education, or any aspect of your life... it’s all going to be influenced by decluttering.

In this episode, Diana discusses why ruthlessly decluttering your home should be your 2023 New Year Resolution.

We’ll also discuss:

What this Christmas season has been like for Diana and her family
Resolutions can be hard to stick to, but the feeling that you can do anything you want to do, or be anything you want to be, keep us trying resolutions year after year.
How ruthlessly decluttering doesn’t make your life perfect, but it lowers the baseline stress level and becomes a game-changer for your home and you!

We have the biggest decluttering challenge starting January 1st! It only happens twice a year, and the January challenge always has the most progress.

Diana Rene - 00:00

Hey guys, I am so excited to be back. It has been too long. I didn't plan on going this long on this little break. But I have good reason we ended up moving recently in like late October and it wasn't it wasn't like totally sudden, but it was not completely planned either. And I forget how much work goes into number one packing number two, selling a house number three buying a house and then just the entire moving process.
