Untangle Your Advent: Overcome Holiday Overwhelm with One Simple Question

Kingdom Life Coaching: Hear God's Voice and Discover Your Purpose Through Christian Coaching and Spirit-Led Conversations

Ep 87 // Untangle Your Advent: Overcome Holiday Overwhelm with One Simple Question

In this episode, we delve deep into the holiday season's potential stresses—like overcommitted calendars and family dynamics—and how to manage them by focusing on what truly matters.

We'll also explore ways to navigate holiday expectations, including the "magic question" that helps identify why certain situations trigger us.

Plus, I'll share a sneak peek of the introduction to "Untangled Advent," a devotional designed to help you exchange chaos and stress for hope and joy by focusing on the story of Mary and the birth of Christ. Whether you're looking for a way to spiritually shift during the holidays or finding the perfect gift for a loved one, this episode has something for everyone. So, grab a cup of coffee, settle in, and let's find some peace together this holiday season.

Reflection/Group Discussion questions
