Holiday Anxiety: How To Feel More Heavenly Peace

Holiday Anxiety: How To Feel More Heavenly Peace

Author: Siena & Toast December 12, 2023 Duration: 36:56
In this episode, we discuss anxieties specific to the holidays. Anxieties about gift-giving, social events, the pressure to make dreams come true, and more. We also discuss some thoughts, practices, and attitudes that can make for less anxiety and a little more heavenly peace.
We discuss specific Holiday Anxieties such as:

Feeling like you’re behind in gift-giving

Worrying about your budget when it comes to gifts and festivities

Creating a card, and ordering them, and sending them out

The fear that the holidays will fly by and you’ll feel like you missed it 

Doubting whether it’s worth all the effort it takes to decorate and celebrate

Worrying whether gift-recipients will feel adequately thought-of, considered, and loved by the gifts you give them

Feeling the pressure to ‘make dreams come true’ – or to at least to make reality look a little like the romanticized, idealized Hallmark Movie Holidays™ – for loved ones

Siena & Toast have been partners in life and music since 2001, a married lesbian couple who are API and originally from Hawaii. They bring that unique perspective to every conversation on Live Your Love Story. This isn't about presenting a perfect facade; it's about the real, ongoing work of building a meaningful life together, rooted in their experiences within the LGBTQ community. You'll hear discussions that weave together personal stories with broader themes of culture, holistic health, and positive spirituality. The tone is intentionally uplifting and entertaining, but there's always an educational thread-whether they're exploring relationships, self-improvement, or what it means to be a progressive ally. Think of tuning in as a chance to sit with two friends who believe that personal growth and authentic connection are the foundations of any great love story. Their podcast offers a blend of warmth and practical insight, creating a space dedicated to being the best you can be, individually and within your communities. It’s about the daily choice to live intentionally, with joy and purpose.
