Ever look up in mid-December and think, “Wait… how is it already almost Christmas?” The school parties, travel plans, Amazon boxes, and sugar everywhere can make you feel like you’ve slipped from intentional living into full-on holiday survival mode. Same, friend.

This week, Magan Hendry and Brandi Wigley are talking about what they call “December drift”—that slow slide into overwhelm where your routines disappear, your emotions spike, and you feel both exhausted and behind. They’re sharing honest stories, gentle reminders, and tiny resets that help you feel more grounded… even if you’ve only got a few minutes to yourself.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • What “December drift” is 
  • How the mental load of the holidays quietly stacks up
  • Simple 2–10 minute resets to pull yourself out of survival mode
  • The difference between cheap dopamine and earned dopamine 
  • How to be truly present with your kids
  • Why starting with feel-good basics like protein, movement, and tiny self-care habits can create momentum, even when life feels chaotic

💬 Share this episode with a friend who’s wondering if she’s “dropping all the balls” and needs the reminder that her version of the holidays is exactly right for her family.
