Are you ready to make this holiday season one you can truly enjoy—without the overwhelm?

THE NUMBERS DON’T LIE

The holiday season, while joyous, often brings increased stress for many. According to the American Psychological Association, nearly 9 in 10 adults (89%) report that concerns such as financial strain, missing loved ones, and anticipating family conflict cause them stress during this time of year.  Additionally, a survey by Everlywell found that 88% of Americans feel stressed while celebrating the holidays. These stressors not only affect individuals but can also impact family dynamics and overall enjoyment of the season.

However, by approaching the holidays with a focus on intention and realistic expectations, it’s possible to keep your stress in check and actually enjoy the season. Prioritizing your own well-being can help you stay grounded, maintain your energy, and make the holidays more manageable and enjoyable for both you and your family.

What’s Your Usual Holiday MO?

🎄 The ‘Do-It-All’ Effect: Are you constantly handling everything so that others can enjoy a “magical” holiday? Between planning, decorating, and making sure everyone’s on schedule, you find yourself sidelining your own needs (again).

🥂 Family Time Tension: Do you love the idea of family gatherings but end up feeling tense when they don’t go as planned? Well-meaning comments from relatives or even little mishaps can have you snapping when all you wanted was a peaceful, joyful moment.

🍽️ Evening Chaos Mode: After juggling work, holiday prep, and family, do your evenings leave you exhausted? Every night seems to turn into a mad dash of last-minute shopping, gift-wrapping, and trying to make everything look effortless.

📅 The Holiday To-Do Spiral: Does your list feel endless, with every checkmark bringing on two more “urgent” items? Parties, shopping, cooking, and planning seem to pile on, making you feel like you’re constantly behind, with no time to truly unwind.

OR are you ready for a holiday that lets you enjoy the moments without all the mayhem? Imagine finding peace in the chaos, feeling present with family, and keeping your spark without the usual stress. This season, it starts with you—and a little shift can make all the difference!

MY COMMITMENT TO YOU

This workshop will provide more value in 60 minutes than the last course you bought.

Sound too good to be true? Don’t just take it from me, take it from my past clients:

"The consistent support and getting me back on track after falling off for the millionth time has been so instrumental in helping me to find my balance again. And now, I have real tools to recognize pitfalls and get back on track when I fall off. I honestly do not know where I would be right now if it were not for Wendy’s support, advice, and guidance. Thank you Wendy!"

"Wendy’s sparkle & GRIT coaching program is a breath of fresh air with her authenticity and direct guidance to help us break free from the daily grind and embrace a more purposeful life.

I had the privilege of being part of Wendy's coaching group. I absolutely love the way everyone comes together to empower each other. Wendy is an incredible motivator in this class, and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a positive path in life."

"Wendy is the real deal. She won’t make you better or more confident or more organized, SHE HELPS YOU FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THAT FOR YOURSELF. If you are on the fence, hop off. If you can be open and honest with yourself, you will not be sorry. Wendy is truly amazing."

"The sparkle & grit training connected me with like-minded professions. The camaraderie and empathy helped me gain the confidence to take my business in a different direction. I am now growing a new practice area and that would not have happened without guidance from women who did it before me."
