Slowing Down During the Holidays
Are you ready to stop sprinting toward the end of the year and instead lean into the magic of the in-between?
In this solo episode, host Erica Rooney challenges the traditional "hustle harder" holiday advice. She encourages you to view this time as a refractory period—a natural exhale before the big inhale of 2026—and gives you radical permission to slow down and be present.
Erica reveals her secret to managing the season's chaos: strategically using AI to clear the clutter, protect her energy, and free up her mental load so she can focus on the moments that truly matter.
Inside the Episode:
- The Refractory Pause: Why you should stop viewing the holidays as a sprint to the finish line and instead embrace the season's slower rhythm as a necessary time for rest and self-reconnection.
- Permission to be Present: A call to action to stop doing all the things you think you "should" do and start doing the things that genuinely matter to you (like sitting on the couch or baking horrific cookies).
- AI for the Invisible Labor: Erica demonstrates exactly how she uses simple AI prompts (like Chat GPT or Google Gemini) to eliminate time-consuming planning and mental clutter:
- Magical Meal Planning
- Creative Gift Ideas
- The Calm December Prompt: The specific AI prompt Erica used to design a weekly rhythm that prioritized feeling calm, intentional, and grounded, while carving out dedicated time for connection, rest, and joy.
- Protecting Your Energy: Why using AI is not about replacing humanity, but about clearing the invisible labor and protecting your mental energy so you don't lose your balance (or your shit) on those you love.
If you’re ready to ditch the guilt and use modern tools to move through the holidays with clarity, grounding, and magic, this episode is your essential guide.
