Summary

Welcome back to Moment. Your place on a Monday for calm and connection and maybe even a shift in perspective before the week ahead. Something a bit different this week because this Moment is with me. Throughout November, I have been delivering free coaching workshops online to help us have a calmer less stressful Christmas, which I think we all desperately need this year. Those of you who have come along and participated have kindly shared how powerful and helpful the workshops have been for you. It struck me that it could be useful for me to use these short Moment episodes to share some of the ideas from those workshops for those of you who perhaps couldn’t make it. For the next 4 Mondays in the run up to Christmas, I am going to be sharing ideas and tools to hopefully help you have your calmest least stressful Christmas ever. In today's moment, I want to talk to you about why you can’t please everyone at Christmas and what to do instead. Why does this matter and why have I chosen this topic? Listen to find out. My call to you at the end of the episode is to ask yourself: What is the one small change I can do to take my power back this Christmas? I also have to thank the revolutionary toy sharing service, Whirli, who have kindly sponsored these workshops which meant I could offer them for free for our community. We have a lot to thank them for. If you want to try the service you can get 30% off using the code: MOTHERKIND. Whirli.com/motherkind FREEBIES!
