Welcome to a special holiday episode of Thriver's Ed! It’s Christmas, and today we’re diving into why the common advice to "slow down" during the holidays might not be the best fit for everyone. If you’ve been feeling guilty about working during this time of year—or if you’re itching to dive into planning and projects—this episode is for you.

I share why I believe rest and productivity shouldn’t be dictated by the calendar and how tuning into your unique energy rhythms can help you thrive. Whether you’re taking a break or ramping up for the new year, I offer actionable strategies to honor your energy, set up systems for freedom, and create a sustainable balance in your life and business.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why the "unplug during the holidays" advice isn’t one-size-fits-all.
• How to align your work with your natural energy rhythms—guilt-free.
• The role of systems, automations, and SOPs in creating year-round flexibility.
• Real examples of how to batch content, automate tasks, and free up your time.
• The power of doing what works for YOU, not what society dictates.

Thrive in 5:

1. Ignore Societal Pressures: Work or rest during the holidays—it’s your choice.
2. Set Up Systems: Create automations or SOPs to streamline your business year-round.
3. Plan for Future Breaks: Take 15 minutes to map out a break or small system for the new year.
4. Ask for Help: If your business relies entirely on you, consider reaching out for support or creating tools to lighten the load.
5. Enjoy the Holidays Your Way: Whether that’s working, relaxing, or a mix of both.
