Navigating Stress During The Holidays

About this event

Navigating Stress During the Holidays

The holiday season is often described as the most wonderful time of the year—but for many people, it can also be one of the most stressful.

Busy schedules, financial pressure, family expectations, grief, loneliness, and the desire to make everything perfect can leave us feeling emotionally and physically exhausted. Even joyful celebrations can become overwhelming when we neglect our own well-being.

Join host Sharon Gill for a special community pop-up event featuring Terri Mayes Ferguson, L.C.S.W., owner of Solution Savvy Counseling & Training. Terri will share professional insights and practical strategies to help participants recognize holiday stress, establish healthier boundaries, manage difficult emotions, and approach the season with greater peace and emotional resilience.

This welcoming and informative gathering is designed to help you pause before the holiday rush and prepare for the season intentionally. You will have an opportunity to learn, reflect, connect with others, and consider practical ways to protect your peace while remaining present for the people and traditions that matter most.

Whether the holidays bring excitement, complicated emotions, or a mixture of both, you do not have to navigate the season feeling overwhelmed. Give yourself permission to prepare not only your home and your schedule—but also your heart and mind.
