Episode 242: Keeping Family Health Simple (and Joyful) Over the Holidays

Holiday Parenting Tips for Kids:  (Less Stress, More Connection)

This week on the podcast, we’re wrapping up the year with a short, gentle episode designed to meet you exactly where you are right now — tired, busy, and likely juggling a lot.

As the final episode of the year, we share a heartfelt reminder that the holiday season isn’t about getting everything “right” with your kids’ health. It’s about connection, presence, and doing the best you can with the capacity you have. This episode is intentionally light, supportive, and realistic for families navigating the end-of-year rush.

Rather than focusing on rules or restrictions, we talk about coming back to simple foundations that support family health without adding more pressure to your plate.

Here’s what we cover:

• Why perfection isn’t the goal during the holidays and how letting go of unrealistic expectations can ease stress for the whole family.
• The foundational health basics that matter most right now, including sleep, simple nourishment, and gentle movement.
• How to reduce emotional overload during a season that can bring grief, complex family dynamics, and self-imposed pressure.
• Ways to prioritise connection and joy, even when things feel busy, messy, or far from Instagram-perfect.

🎧 Tune in for a calming end-of-year reminder to slow down, focus on what truly matters, and support your family’s health in a way that feels sustainable, not exhausting.

This episode is a permission slip to simplify, say no where needed, and trust that doing less (with intention) can often support your family more.
