In this episode, Ingrid and Lesley explore how to reclaim your festive period by making intentional choices about what you keep, what you let go, and what you'd like to create instead. They share practical strategies for evaluating traditions, managing gift-giving expectations, and planning ahead so you can actually enjoy the season rather than simply surviving it.

This episode is packed with honest conversation about the realities of festive overwhelm and actionable steps you can take right now in November to lighten your load. The hosts address everything from declining invitations without guilt to handling the inevitable influx of unwanted gifts, all whilst encouraging you to design a festive period that truly brings you joy.
