All I want for Christmas is…

A balanced holiday load. Right, mamas? 

In a 2006 study by the American Psychological Association it was found that “holiday stress has a particular impact on women, who take charge of many of the holiday celebrations, particularly the tasks related to preparing meals and decorating the home.” 

While the research in this particular article was done 15+ years ago, the findings still ring true today.

In this week’s episode, women’s health expert and pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Marcy Crouch and motherhood wellness and mental health expert Alyson Hempsey discuss some ways in which we can balance the load of the holidays with our partners. 

Do you find that you take on most of the responsibilities around the holidays? We want to know!
