Hey Doc —

When did the holidays turn into one big chaotic to-do list?

Between last-minute gift runs, boundary-testing relatives, and the annual matching pajama scramble… it’s a lot.

This episode is your permission slip to opt out.

The stress isn’t tradition. The chaos isn’t required. And next year doesn’t have to feel like this one, because holiday magic doesn’t have to mean exhaustion.

🎧 Tune in for a Christmas Eve reflection — and a gentle challenge to make one small decision that brings more peace to every holiday season to come.

Hey Doc,

Headed into a holiday gathering with a cousin, auntie, or in-law who always has something to say? This one’s for you.

This short and slightly petty episode is your permission slip to disengage — without guilt, without defensiveness, and without wasting your energy explaining yourself to people who don’t live your life.

You’ll learn:

• Why “okay” is a complete sentence
• How to stop giving your power away mid-conversation
• And what to say when the family commentary starts rolling in hot

🎧 Tune in for your 10-second holiday script.

Strategy Coaching Session with Dr. Toya

Hey Doc

If you’ve ever left a meeting with leadership thinking, “Why did I even bother?” I’ve been there.

Vague emails. Rambling explanations. Trying to be heard and ending up dismissed.

This episode is about doing it differently. With clarity. With strategy. And without bending over backwards to be “nice” about it.

You’ll learn:

• How to prep before the ask (so you’re not just venting)
• What to focus on depending on who you’re talking to
• The difference between making a request vs. negotiating
• How to frame your ask so it actually gets traction
• And why empathy for your boss doesn’t mean you give up your ask

This isn’t about playing politics.

It’s about getting what you need without second-guessing your right to ask — whether it’s your schedule, your inbox load, or the support that makes your job sustainable.
