Perfection is loud during the holidays. Presence is quieter—and far more powerful. Speaking of Women's Health Podcast Executive Producer Leigh Klekar sat down with clinical social worker and holistic psychotherapist Marita Pompeani to unpack why this season ratchets up stress and how to find steady ground with simple, science-backed tools you can use anywhere.
We talk about expectations and how social media scripts can push us to overspend, overcommit, and overlook our bandwidth. Marita shares a flexible framework for planning with blended families, setting a realistic budget, and rethinking gift giving with meaningful alternatives like experiences, contributions toward big items, and handwritten notes that land deeper than stuff.
If this conversation resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who could use some peace, and leave a review so more listeners can find these tools.
