Episode 75: Redefining Holiday Goals

Welcome to this week's episode of To Help You Heal! Thanksgiving is here, and it's the perfect time to pause and ask ourselves: What's my goal for the holiday season? Spoiler alert—it's not about creating a picture-perfect, Hallmark-style holiday. Real life isn't a neatly wrapped movie, and that's okay.

This week, I'm sharing a fresh perspective on letting go of unrealistic expectations and focusing on what truly matters. Together, we'll unpack:

• Why "avoiding pain" isn't a productive goal and how shifting to positive, actionable goals makes all the difference.
• How to approach tricky situations—like family dynamics or overindulgence—with clarity and grace.
• The power of SMART goals for crafting a holiday season is rooted in gratitude, connection, and authenticity.

Instead of striving for perfection, we can aim to feel grateful, connected, and purposeful. I'll guide you through simple strategies for creating achievable goals that will carry you from Thanksgiving to the end of the year with joy and intentionality.

Topics Covered:

• Reframing your holiday goals: moving from avoidance to action
• Practical tips for navigating family drama and food temptations
• Setting SMART goals for a meaningful holiday season
• Why celebrating small wins helps build resilience

This episode is just the beginning. Over the next few weeks, we'll explore essential holiday themes like grief, unmet expectations, and how to enter 2025 feeling strong and supported.
