The holidays are a time for celebration, reflection, and connection, and this episode is packed with stories, laughs, and heartwarming traditions! Join us as we share our cherished family rituals and quirky customs from around the world.

We explore the beauty of creating meaningful moments, the role food plays in our celebrations, and how holiday traditions can also support our well-being. From stockings filled to the brim, to yellow underwear for New Year’s luck, and even the occasional cookie confession, this lighthearted episode is a festive boost for your spirit.

In this episode:

• Unique holiday traditions from the U.S. and Venezuela, including stockings, fireworks, and food.
• Our favorite Christmas cookies (and Maria’s not-so-cookie-loving perspective!).
• New Year’s Eve customs, from eating grapes at midnight to wishing for travel with empty luggage.
• Acts of giving and gratitude that bring joy and support mental wellness during the holidays.
• Finding peace and connection through meaningful moments, like meditating by the Christmas tree.
• Redesigning traditions to align with your values and create less stress during the season.

This episode is a reminder to embrace traditions that bring you joy and to let go of the pressures to meet unrealistic holiday expectations. Whether it’s baking, connecting with loved ones, or simply sitting by the tree, there’s no wrong way to celebrate!
