Edit Your Life Episode 63: Crap-Free Holidays [Rebroadcast]
As much as we love the holidays, let’s be honest -- they often come with a lot of crap (both emotional and physical). It’s ironic that gift-giving can turn stressful; we feel obligated to buy stuff for people who (like us) are probably trying to declutter their own lives! In Episode 63 of Edit Your Life, Asha and I revisit an earlier conversation about sane holiday gifting. We share 9 ideas for how to relax the craziness around gifts — keeping the physical crap to a minimum without tamping down generosity.
This is the last episode of the year! We’ll be back with all-new episodes in January. Happy holidays!
