Calm doesn't just happen—you have to create it on purpose. In this episode, you'll learn a practical 3-step process for creating calm during the holidays (and all year long), even when your ex is difficult, your adult kids change plans, or family dynamics are messy. This is about taking your power back and showing up with intention, no matter what chaos surrounds you.What You'll LearnStep 1: Define What Calm Means to YOU Most people want to be calm but have never defined what that actually means. Get specific about how calm feels in your body, looks in your day, and sounds in your life. You can't create calm if you don't know what you're creating.Step 2: Anticipate What Might Interrupt Your Calm This isn't worrying—it's preparing. Based on history and real information, identify who or what typically disrupts your peace during the holidays. When you anticipate potential disruptions, you stop being blindsided and start being ready.Step 3: Create a Plan and Practice It For every potential disruption, create a specific response plan—then practice it ahead of time. Rehearse what you'll say, how you'll respond, and how you'll maintain your calm. When chaos comes, you'll already know exactly what to do.Key TakeawaysCalm is not about eliminating chaos—it's about knowing how YOU will show up in the middle of itThe difference between worrying and anticipating: worrying obsesses without a plan, anticipating uses what you know to prepareWhen you practice your calm response ahead of time, it becomes automatic in the momentYou don't need perfect circumstances to have calm—you just need intention and a planReady for Support?Join The Fierce Sisterhood where we practice these tools together and you don't have to figure it out alone.
