No Real Life Happy Hour today. The words I had recorded in advance just don’t seem right this week anymore.

We will not be defeated by the hatred of the few. Hug your loved ones and keep hope in your heart.

Don't let the perfectly curated perfectly "magical" moments on socials get you down. You don't see all the behind-the-scenes chaos, tantrums (and team of staff) required to create them. Check out this week's Real Life Happy Hour where I'm talking about how we can have a joyfully imperfect holiday season instead.

Feeling the December urge to "get it all done" or "finish the year with a bang"? Create a magical Christmas, kick goals at work and catch up with everyone you know before the end of the year? Why? This week on the Real Life Happy Hour, we discuss what's going on here and how we can avoid running ourselves into the ground.

This may be too late for some of you... but you don't have to buy anything just because it's Black Friday.

Over the next few weeks I'm going to share some survival tips for the silly season, starting with the neuroscience behind all those sales techniques, and how you can keep your head in sale season.

Find out more, plus some simple ways you can introduce gratitude in just a couple of minutes everyday in this week's Real Life Happy Hour.

How do we know it's our intuition talking and not just the fear inside trying to keep us small and safe? After my story last week about listening to my intuition and how it saved my life, this week I've been thinking about how sometimes fear can hijack us by pretending to be intuition. It generally feels different though, there's a different quality to it.

This week on the Real Life Happy Hour, I'm talking about the shadow side of intuition and how it works on and our kids.

What do you think? Can you feel the difference between fear and intuition (and sometimes they cross over)
