    Dec 10 2024
    We’re in that final push before Christmas and the new year! In today’s episode, I share a few holiday tips. I talk about how Christmas is not about gifts or material things, but more about experiences, making memories and doing acts of kindness. With that being said, I know some gifts are a must, so I share examples of more unique, sentimental gifts I like to give. I also talk about how important it is to spend your money at a small business or a local business in your community first. To finish up the episode, I want you to know it’s okay to not be okay during the holidays.
