It’s finally December, y’all, so you can officially start the Christmas music and festivities! In this week’s episode, we’re talking all about the stress that goes along with this time of year.

Take control of the holidays – and your emotions – this Christmas season by listening to Katie and Cort as they drop some wisdom. Learn how to stick to a budget, learn to say “no”, and don’t abandon those healthy habits just because it’s yuletide.
