Well said! We need to make time for ourselves too, so we are giving from an overflow and not an empty cup. I’ve cut down on work this month and am trying to take the pressure off in anyway I can. If I support myself then I am so much better placed to support those around me! Xx

Thank you Hannah! Yes, absolutely, it's so important though not always easy to do when the world is shouting at us to do more more more, but even the tiny moments for you help I've found.That's great that you've cut down on your commitments to take the pressure off too. Yes, when we've had that time for us, we are so much happier and able to enjoy our family more too.

I am all for less Jenna! Thank you for your lovely podcast episode.

I have tried to buy less or at least committed to much fewer presents which I think has helped and I have also tried to share the load on that front too. I do like control but this time of year there is a lot to organise and we are going away to Ireland as I mentioned before. I am not sure if this will mean more or less to do as I’m not as in control of what is happening when we are there (his family!) but at the moment ignorance is bliss!

I'm with you Kylie-Ann!! Thank you for listening to this episode, glad you enjoyed it.

Sharing the load definitely helps because gosh the list of things to do for Xmas is literally never-ending isn't it. I hear you on the control part too, that is my downfall for sure, stops me from asking for help as lot because I like things done my way! I hope you have a lovely Xmas in Ireland and you get time to relax too xx
