Navigate the Holiday Season with Peace
Basically... how to not be a crazy lady this Holiday Season.
Sometimes it seems like the holidays are fun for everyone but moms.
This is because we are the heart holders.
We hold people’s hearts and try to make sure everyone has a lovely holiday experience… even if that means sacrificing our own.
I can show you how to hold their hearts and yours this holiday season.
Offer HAS ENDED
Are you already feeling anxious about the upcoming holiday season?
The time that’s supposed to be filled with joy, family traditions, giving thanks, and celebrating the birth of Christ somehow turns into a never-ending to-do list, juggling family obligations, and keeping the peace amidst family drama.
Between finding the perfect gifts for everyone, attending the school plays, making sure your home looks festive, finding just the right family advent devotion, and managing tense conversations at the family gathering, you feel like a pressure cooker ready to explode.
Cue: the HOLIDAY DREAD
I mean, shouldn’t you just be thankful for what you have? Suck it up and enjoy the magic of the holidays?
You’re trying your best, but the weight of holiday expectations—gifts, decorations, traditionas, keeping everyone happy—is crushing. The emotional strain of family tensions, unspoken dynamics, and constant demands make it feel like you’re running on fumes, just hoping to survive until January.
I see you.
You’re not alone.
Many Catholic moms–good, holy women–feel like they’re barely keeping their heads above water, barely hanging on.
But here's the thing, mama...
The holidays are not a contest for who can do the most or make everyone happy.
That's not what God wants.
He never intended for the holidays to be a struggle where you feel like you’re losing your mind and yourself.
Thanksgiving and Christmas are meant to be a time of gratitude, love, and joy. You can find serenity in the midst of chaos, serve your family with grace, and embrace the peace that surpasses understanding God intends for you.
And it starts with a very intentional schedule of events on your calendar, a quick declutter sprint to clean the house, and some Holy Spirit healing of your difficult family relationships. We can help you approach the holiday season with purpose, confident you know exactly how to handle anything that comes your way, from last minute Christmas parties to family politics at Thanksgiving.
Introducing
Less Stress for the Holidays
an advent & christmas series for catholic moms
During this program, you’ll get everything you need to cultivate peace in your calendar, your home, your relationships, and within yourself this holiday season… all inside a loving, supportive community of other Catholic moms.
Because let’s face it: the holidays are coming, family drama will happen, you’ll still have to feed your family three times a day every single day while also celebrating the holidays.
But you really can show up as the mother you want to be no matter what’s going on around you. Just as God intended.
(He loves you, mama! His plans for you are good and joy-filled. Come and see.)
Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll get during the challenge:
- Tons of tried-and-true strategies for setting boundaries and taking care of yourself so you can find one that works for your lifestyle and your family.
- Sterling’s exact process for making a peace-filled holiday calendar so you can have a holiday season you love and actually enjoy. Plus, she'll share her top strategies for decluttering your home, so you can welcome the season with more joy and less stress!
- Four short videos with tips, tricks, and hacks for creating peace on your calendar, in your home, taking care of you, and in your relationships.
- Daily audio prayers from Sterling to help you stay centered and focused on what God is asking you.
Less Stress for the Holidays is different because I’m not shoving you into a one-size-fits-all holiday schedule that only works for pretend families in the movies.
This holiday season, you’ll build a personalized holiday roadmap tailored to your family’s unique traditions and schedule. You’ll learn how to keep your calendar, home, and relationships filled with peace throughout the season and I’ll be there to hold your hand the whole way!
More importantly, you’ll be equipped with a faith-centered mindset that empowers you to enjoy the holidays without losing your peace.
There are no super special Catholic moms with a more direct line to God who have no holiday drama. But there ARE moms who have systems in place and a mindset that supports them every day (even during the busy holiday season).
And that is something you can learn (in a fun way with Catholic moms who love and support you!)
“The skills that these women teach you, through a Catholic perspective, really can change your life in the tiniest and biggest ways.
These are skills you cannot learn in school. These women are filling a very deep void that was preventing me from connecting fully with God, my neighbor, and myself. Thank you for all you do.”

Here's what we're doing...
We’re going to play this amazing game of pursuing peace in the middle of the chaos of the holidays. You can do it and it’s worth it. This could be the best most calm holiday season you’ve every had.
In a series of four short videos I will teach you how to have…
Week 1
Peace on Your Calendar
create a calendar that Brings Peace and celebrates liturgical living
I’m going to help you create a holiday calendar that works for your family and gives you lots of freedom so you feel empowered by–not beholden–to your calendar….
- I’ll teach you my signature process for remaking your holiday calendar so you can fit in all the things you need (and want!) to do AND feel great about it. This is the same method I use to manage six homeschooled children, run three businesses, and still have time to celebrate feast days and build fun family traditions with my kids.
- You’ll decide which liturgical activities are you doing and which are you going to let go. There are too many to do all of them and we often freeze and do none of them! Choose your favorites and celebrate them well.
- You’ll discover the ONE thing virtually no Catholic moms put on their holiday calendar but that makes every other aspect of their holiday season easier. The first time you hear it, it’ll sound crazy, but then, it’s THE game-changer.
You’re going to say goodbye to calendar stress, overwhelm, and the frantic craze that comes with a busy holiday schedule and feel peaceful, calm, and in control of what’s happening each day.
Week 2
Peace Decluttering Your Home
Embrace a Decluttering Mindset and Make Space for What Matters
I’ll give you my ulitmate guide to decluttering for the holidays. We’re going to take decisive action in the spaces of your home you feel most overwhelmed…
- You’ll learn how to identify items in your home that are taking up unnecessary space and energy, and how to let go of them without guilt.
- I’ll walk you through a wildly simple process for sorting through your belongings and making quick, confident decisions about what to keep and what to release.
- We’ll tackle the emotional resistance that often comes with decluttering, helping you shift your mindset so you can simplify spaces that stress you out – faster.
You’ll walk away with AT LEAST two bags or boxes of items ready to donate, feeling lighter and more in control of your home. Make space since you know… more stuff is about to show up!
Week 3
Less Anxiety and Depression
Have tools in place to help you come back to calm when you're struggling.
It’s pretty common that we struggle with anxiety, depression or both during the holidays. Grief and old wounds often surface. We have to confront financial and family challenges. It’s a lot.
- I’ll show you how to notice when you’re anxious or depressed. There are really obvious clues and the better you get at recognizing them, the faster you can climb out.
- You’ll have my tried and true list of activities to cheer you up. Not the forced kind of “smile and be like Mary Poppins” kind of activities. These are rooted in calm generosity and help you feel connected to other people.
- Plan things for YOU this holiday season. We rarely think about what we want but that’s exactly what you’re going to do this year and it’s going to feel magical.
You are going to be your own best personal assistant and enjoy this holiday season this year rather than white knuckling your way through it.
Week 4
Peace in Relationships
FEEL CONFIDENT AND CALM AMONGST THE FAMILY DRAMA
I’ll teach you how to free up mental and emotional space, so you can tap into a deeper sense of peace, joy, and spiritual clarity even amongst the family holiday drama.
- I’m sharing my step-by-step Be a Team exercise so you can connect with your husband and create game plan for the holiday season. There are no rules about how we have to spend your time, you get to decide together on what a peaceful holiday season looks like for your family.
- You’re going to prepare for holiday family drama. Let’s be honest; your family isn’t going to be different this year, but you can be. I’m going to walk you through two exercises so you feel calm and in control this holiday season.
- I’m going to teach my two favorite tools for managing your mind amongst holiday drama – from passive aggressive digs from in-laws to the ever-growing list of things to do to unexpected sickness and children with BIG feelings. None of that ruffles me. I’ll show you how.
You will have a rock solid plan to navigate the holiday family drama and angst so you can enjoy and find peace this holiday season.
Sterling is heaven sent!
The work this woman is doing and the lives that she’s impacted is insurmountable.
Her ability to put things into a perspective that just makes sense is so beautiful. I’m so grateful to have found her to talk me off whatever ledge life presents. Forever a fan!

Hey, mama!
I'm Sterling.
I’m a Catholic convert and mom of six, and there was a season in my life when I felt like I was drowning.
On top of the everyday stress of mom life… I would get really depressed every holiday season.
Then… I would feel extra guilty thinking that Catholics should love Advent and Christmas when I just dreaded it every year.
The Lord healed my heart and I learned how to find peace and yes… even joy… during the holidays.
I no longer dread it and I can teach you how to have peace over the holidays.
It really is possible. This is my favorite program that we do every year. I’ve helped so many moms heal relationships and find joy during the holidays.
And you can too.
This program is for you if:
You feel overwhelmed by the holiday season and are ready to embrace more peace and joy amidst the chaos.
You want to create simple holiday plans that work for your family, rather than trying to do what you see online or what your mother-in-law thinks you should do.
You’re tired of feeling busy with activities but never feeling truly present during the holidays.
You need practical strategies for managing family drama while still getting to attend family events.
You want to cultivate a peaceful atmosphere in your home even amidst the chaos of the holiday season.
Every Catholic mom deserves a holiday season that’s joyful, calm, and reflective of the love she pours into her family. With a little bit of planning, a little decluttering and some simple relationships tools, you can experience the true joy and peace God intends for your Christmas celebration.
“I am loving my life more and more as I go through the program.”

As to your Qs
How much time will this take each week? (I’m already so strapped for time!)
I get it. My days are full, too. Each of the four videos are less than 20 minutes long (shorter than anything you could watch on Netflix), and the decluttering is designed to fit in with what you’re already doing to clean and maintain your home. You already feed your kids and go grocery shopping. You already do laundry. What we’re doing in this challenge will naturally fit in with what you’re already doing.
Not a question, but I kinda feel like I should already have this figured out.
I hear you, and it’s a feeling many moms share. We feel a lot of pressure to love the holidays but with so much stress – most of us can’t wait until it’s over.
It doesn’t have to be stressful – I promise. We can manage your calendar, your home, and your relationships so it still feels sparkly and fun while also being simple and peaceful.
How long do I have access?
The content is yours to keep for as long as you’d like!
What if I’m already overwhelmed? Learning something new sounds daunting.
The reason you’re overwhelmed is that you haven’t found what works for your family and you’re probably doing too many things. Your calendar is the first thing we tackle. Everything I’ll teach you is designed specifically for busy moms with hectic lives to simplify and get more peace, not add something to your plate.
…If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the holidays…
…If you’re struggling to find peace and order in your relationships…
…If you’re not sure how to balance the fun of holidays with the stress that comes with all the activities…
Then this program is for you!
Less Stress for the Holidays is priced far below other holiday courses on the market (and below the value it provides!).
If you’ve been searching for a way to bring more peace into your holidays, this is it. If you’ve been feeling like you’re constantly spinning your wheels, now’s the time to stop.
We can’t wait to welcome you into Less Stress for the holidays!
