I guarantee that by the end of this episode, you'll have the tools to achieve just that! You'll learn how to safeguard your precious time during the festive whirlwind and carry that expertise into the year ahead. I'll share my personal journey and how I discovered the often-overlooked importance of playtime and rest, which, spoiler alert, isn't just for kids.
