In this episode, Emily joins Michele and Laura to discuss how women often shoulder the responsibility of everything around the holiday season. But it doesn't need to be this way. During our fireside chat, we each commit to a few things we can do to prioritize our mental health, along with having an honest discussion around what self care looks like. Hint: it's different for everyone.

Welcome to the new and improved Female Firesides podcast where four besties and entrepreneurs navigating life, family and business chat about anything and everything.
