Holiday stress isn’t just your calendar. It’s your credit card bill waiting in January. In this episode of Cupcakes & Clarity, Lisa Pirinelli sits down with Tabitha Bissett, owner of Bissett Accounting and Bookkeeping, to make money feel less scary during the busiest season of the year. Together they talk about why so many women overspend without meaning to, how a simple budget can protect your peace, and how involving your kids can turn holiday spending into something meaningful instead of stressful.
