It's time to actually ENJOY the Holiday Season!

Christmas dinner, 2005. Halfway through the meal, I was sitting bent forward with one hand pressed against my stomach—like at most dinners back then. I blamed the food. It never occurred to me the problem was something else entirely…

I used to be miserable and exhausted during Christmas and any other big party or event. Not because I didn’t love the people or because I didn’t want to be there.

But because I had no idea what was draining my energy.

I didn’t have the tools to manage and protect my energy. I had no clue how much my sensitivity was impacting me—and how I felt. I was unaware that I was picking up other people’s emotions and was lugging them around as my own.

It took me years to figure out what to do differently and how to support myself. I’ve now bundled my favorite tools and techniques in this special Holiday Survival Kit!

Get all the practical tools you need to enjoy a more energetic and relaxed holiday season

I found the Holiday Survival Kit to be chock full of practical tools to help manage the overwhelm and stress of the holidays. I personally find Day 5, “Protecting Your Energy,” extremely helpful for dealing with the large groups of people that the holidays bring…from traveling to spending time with extended family, and, of course, all the parties.

I also discovered the techniques are perfect for “relaxing” times, like family vacations. Iris has really put together an easy-to-use, complete package. I feel like it’s my secret antidote to holiday stress and stress in general!
