Transform near-burnout into career fulfilment with my free guide ‘Career Clarity Roadmap’
While some can’t help but be cheerful and excited about the festive days to come, not everyone feels so merry and bright as the holiday season approaches. Even though it’s considered the most magical time of the year, for many of us women it’s also the most stressful.

I started to jot down all the things people said to me in the past when I set my boundaries—when I stood up for myself or for my daughter:
How do you feel about the current situation and the relaxed regulations? Do you feel happy to do the things you have been longing to do, or do you feel overwhelmed and anxious?
Do you mean YES when you say yes? Are you able to say NO when you mean no? A lot of us struggle with setting boundaries, especially when it’s about putting ourselves first and doing what is best for us.
