Trading in the Hustle for Heartbeat: Nourishing Your Soul During the Holidays

Hold My Purse: A Self-Care Journey Through Life

Welcome to 'Hold My Purse' with your host Rho, where we're here to flip the bird at holiday chaos and reclaim your inner sparkle. We're not about picture-perfect Instagram Christmases; we're about real connections, a little rebellion, and loads of self-care. In this episode, we're tossing the glitter bomb of expectations, diving into self-care, and carving out a holiday season that's all about you, beautiful badass.

We're calling out the holiday self-care drain – forget the sugarplum fantasies and perfect feasts. Studies confirm what we all feel: stress sneaks in faster than a reindeer flies. But hold on tight, because these moments aren't about picture-perfect filters; they're about messy joy and genuine connections.

So, how do we keep our inner sparkle alive? By setting boundaries and managing expectations. It's about saying 'no' to the non-essentials, communicating openly, and embracing compromise. Remember, self-care isn't selfish – it's the secret sauce to a joyful holiday season.

But hey, forget the solo sleigh rides – it's time to delegate like a boss. Ask for help, move those jingle bells with some activity you love, and nourish that beautiful body without guilt. And don't even think of skipping sleep; it's your ultimate reindeer food.

Surround yourself with your cheerleaders, practice a little mindfulness, and sprinkle that self-care potion on your holiday adventures. And authenticity? It's key! Craft your own traditions, embrace the imperfections, and spread that sparkle with gratitude and acts of kindness.

So, self-care warriors, remember: this isn't a competition for the perfect holiday. It's about celebrating messy moments, real connections, and the authentically you. So, shake off the stress, embrace the chaos, and go make this sparkly season your own. You've got this, beautiful badass! Now go out and own your holiday.
