How to Reduce Stress in Your Household this School Year.

LET’S GET BACK TO ROUTINE!

We hope that everyone has adjusted back to a routine this month. Whether you or your kids have gone back to school, or your summer holidays have ended, or if you’re like me and start to transition from a fast and go with the flow summer into a slow and routine based fall, I hope you are all finding your groove. Now, during this transition, many things change and they change for the better. We start prioritizing a daily routine, adequate sleeping habits, maybe we get back into a workout routine or start craving different foods, like warm soups and stews. I think it is important to pay attention to these changes and make sure they make you feel good, mentally and physically. I also think it’s important to pay attention to your stress levels. Stress is a very common topic here on the podcast, and it likely always will be because it affects everyone. Whether you are a senior, parent, a student or a child, stress is something we’ve all faced at some point in our life. As we progress through the school year, identifying and managing stress can be supportive for our immune system, mental health and general overall wellness.

Thriving Through The Season: Our Tips to Stay Well During The Holidays

By April Allen • November 27, 2025

Feeling the Holiday pressure? In the midst of Winter’s chill and the Holiday rush, your own well-being deserves space to breathe. The natural world around us is slowing down, so why shouldn’t we? Winter invites us to turn inward, and it is especially important to support your mental health during these longer, darker days. Did you know that we, as Canadians, are more prone to Seasonal Affective Disorder due to our northern latitude, which results in less sunlight during the winter? The Holiday season can be equal parts joyful and overwhelming. Schedules get busy, routines slip, and we're surrounded by comfort foods and sweet treats. Between gatherings, travel, and to-do lists, our well-being can take a back seat. Here are some simple tips to keep you grounded, nourished, and feeling your best throughout the season: *These suggestions are not intended to replace appropriate professional advice.
