Summary
The holidays are *a lot.* But what if they didn’t have to be? Emily’s bringing back one of your favorite guests ever: Nana, AKA her mom, Stephanie! In this episode, Nana gives you permission to make the holidays as simple as you need them to be. Emily and Nana talk through stress-free tips for Thanksgiving, how to ask for help if you’re hosting during the holidays, how to take the pressure off yourself during the big days, and even how much food to buy (because let’s be real: that’s super hard to figure out!). They talk about how to help kids with All The Feelings at the holidays, and what to do if your sweet and simple holiday doesn’t go quite according to plan. If you need a dose of grace this holiday season, this episode is for you.
