It could be the pressure of finding just the right romantic thing to do for your significant other, or the stigma of being single on what is viewed as a ‘couples’ holiday. Claire and friends chat about what this day means to them, and how a celebration of love doesn’t have to be limited to couples or a specific day.

For many of us this year’s Christmas budget will be a little tighter than last year, but that doesn’t mean you have to downsize the holiday. The key to a great Christmas in any economy lies in choosing the moments you want to focus your time and resources on.

Do you yearn for time alone to relax and unwind? Many of us are so busy trying to cross the items off our to-do lists that we neglect to take time out for ourselves. This can take a toll on our physical, emotional and mental well being. Balancing all the responsibilities of life and work can be difficult to do, but every small step we take to restore balance is beneficial. In this episode of In Other Words, Claire and Sarah talk about finding life balance.
