Small Joys for a Brighter Holiday Season || Growth Spurt
Nov 20, 2025
Feeling overwhelmed by the holiday rush? In this episode I'm sharing how I've found that small joys, like a quick YouTube break or a swipe of bright lipstick, can significantly boost happiness and ease perfectionistic pressures. These tiny habits help inject self-compassion into my day, allowing me to fully enjoy the present. For me, pairing mundane tasks with mood-boosting moments has made a huge difference and I hope these ideas help you bring genuine joy to your holiday season!
