There are 6 common mistakes that create stress and overwhelm for working moms during the holiday season. During this mini-series I will cover each mistake and teach you how to correct it. In today’s episode I dive into mistake #5: not having a plan for when you feel stressed and overwhelmed. Things will not always go according to plan during the holidays.

This is to be expected and it’s not a big deal as long as you anticipate it and have a plan to get yourself back on track.
