The holiday season often brings a lot of joy, but it also comes with its share of stress and obligations. In this episode, I explore a simple but powerful shift that can change how you experience the holidays: the difference between saying "I have to" and recognizing "I choose to."

The habit of saying "I have to" can quickly take over during the holidays. You'll discover how recognizing your ability to choose is liberating, and how this simple shift can reduce stress and make holiday interactions lighter and more manageable. I'll guide you through practical examples of how to apply this shift to everything from family time and food choices to setting boundaries and saying no.
