Halloween is over so now it’s officially the holiday season!

Pull out your Christmas tree, cue up the Hallmark (or Netflix, love me some Netflix) movies, put on your ugly sweaters and let’s do this!

Not that you need permission to give yourself a break, but if you do – I’ll give it to you. Give yourself a break from things you don’t have to do over the holidays. Cough cough, that little elf may have to retire from the shelf. It WILL be OKAY.

Try to simplify where you can. Enjoy the season with your family! 

This episode I share the ONE thing that changed how my husband and I (and now also our daughter) do Christmas that reduced my stress tremendously AND kept more money in our pockets over the holiday season. It’s wonderful!

Even if you don’t do this one thing, stick around to the end. I also share a super simple tip that can help you own your holiday season this year.

So enjoy your beautiful holiday season!

More about the Gotcha Mama Podcast:

The Gotcha Mama Podcast is where we share honest stories of the joys and struggles of mom-life with young kids.

Each week host Amanda Bennett interviews a mom about topics ranging from awkwardly making mom friends, to chasing BIG dreams and finding purpose, to managing crippling anxiety and depression. You’ll hear stories from moms like you with the purpose to inspire, encourage, and entertain you.

We understand that motherhood can be lonely and make you doubt yourself. The Gotcha Mama Podcast exists to let you know that you are not alone as a busy mom of young kiddos, no matter what you’re dealing with.

The show is all about tearing down our insecurities as moms by honestly sharing our stories and a little of what we’ve learned along the way.

We believe it’s a whole lot better riding the rollercoaster of motherhood together!
