The holidays are beautiful — and they’re overwhelming.
For most midlife women, this season is when routines fall apart, self-care disappears, and all the progress you’ve built quietly slips into the background.

In this episode, Dr. Oksana Skidan takes you inside The Art of Continuing™ — a grounded, elegant, real-life approach to keeping your routines alive during the busiest season of the year.

You’ll learn why it’s so hard to stay consistent in November and December, and why the answer isn’t discipline — it’s self-trust.

Inside the episode:

Why holiday schedules disrupt even the strongest routines
The emotional weight midlife women carry in this season
How “good girl” conditioning and approval patterns resurface
Why perfectionism and old family triggers make continuing harder
What self-trust looks like in real life — not theory
How to protect your morning rituals and daily habits
How to schedule yourself first
The “Best Friend List” exercise to decide what to keep
Micro-practices you can continue anywhere (even on chaotic days)
The 3-Minute Rule that builds self-trust, not pressure

This conversation brings you back to your center — with clarity, honesty, and presence — so you can stay grounded and connected to yourself through the holiday season.
