It's a PIE PODCAST | DD 164 0
Nov 18, 2021

Holidays are just a little bit happier with pie, don’t you think?

In last week’s episode we talked about holiday blunders. The week before we talked about setting healthy boundaries during the holidays. This week we’re talking about all things pie! Maybe you’re a pie expert or maybe you’re like Tori and you’re making a pie for the very first time. Either way, this episode is for you! I’m sharing tips and answering questions you asked. Here are just four of the things I want you to know—and there’s plenty more, so listen in…

  1. Try a custard pie first (like pumpkin or buttermilk)—they’re the easiest kind of pie.
  2. The pie crust might just be the most important part of the pie.
  3. Use a glass pie dish (go thrifting or estate sale shopping to find one).
  4. If it looks a little messy, that screams homemade pie.

I’m praying that your holidays are filled with joy and wonder and peace—and pie! And I hope you are surrounded by friends and family who will share that pie with you.

Learning from Holiday Blunders | DD 163 0
Nov 10, 2021

You want to be your best but sometimes the holidays can mess with your best intentions.

In last week’s episode we talked about setting healthy boundaries during the holidays. This week, I'm here to talk about all the things we tend to do that can make the holidays more difficult (I’m calling them “holiday blunders”)—and how to experience the holidays in a healthier (and more enjoyable) way. Here are some of the blunders. Can you identify with any of these?

  1. Forcing old family expectations.
  2. Missing the point of gift-giving.
  3. Trying to be someone you’re not.
  4. Taking on more than you can handle—and not asking for help.
  5. Not discussing expectations.
  6. Ignoring grief that is triggered by the holidays.
  7. Giving the holidays more significance than any other days of the year.

I hope this helps you experience the holidays in a new way. I pray that we are able to set healthy expectations and keep the holidays simple so we can fully enjoy this beautiful season. And I continue to pray that your holidays are filled with joy and wonder and peace.

Setting Healthy Boundaries for the Holidays | DD 162 0
Nov 4, 2021

Ready or not we’re headed into the holiday season once more! I hope the next couple episodes of the podcast help you to have the most beautiful holidays.

The holiday season is joyful and wonderful but it can also be stressful and exhausting if your priorities get out of whack. That’s why I want to take a couple minutes to talk about setting healthy boundaries. Here are a few things discussed in this holiday episode:

  • Why boundaries are important during the holidays.
  • How to stay connected to God during the busyness of the holidays.
  • How to give a kind “no” when it’s one thing too many.
  • How to choose where to spend your energy during the holidays.
  • Ways to honor and set aside time with your priority people.
  • Ways to set a boundary in conversation.
  • How to practice soul care before the holidays.

I hope that you get to spend time with family and friends and all the people you love this holiday season. I hope that your holidays are filled with joy and wonder and peace. My prayer for you and for me is that we are able to set healthy boundaries so we can fully enjoy this beautiful season.
