Ep. 97 - ’Tis the Season…to Stay Sane
Thu Nov 13 2025
Before you know it, the calendar flips to November, your to-do list triples overnight, and suddenly you’re stress-breathing in the corner to the tune of Jingle Bells. If the holidays have a way of sneaking up on you (and taking your sanity with them) you’re in good company.
In this archived episode, we’re revisiting one of our most relatable conversations: How to Stay Sane During the Holiday Season with #MilMCContributor Kailyn.
From managing expectations, to keeping your calendar from combusting, to letting go of the mythical “perfect” holiday, Kailyn brings the kind of practical, grounded advice we all need this time of year.
Whether you’re navigating deployments, travel plans, visiting family, hosting family (we see you), or just trying to remember where you hid the gift receipts, this episode is the reset your nervous system has been waiting for.
✨ Listen in and exhale… you don’t have to do the holidays alone.
