Not a Perfect Christmas: Real Talk About Holiday Pressure - Bonus Episode

Is there really such a thing as a “perfect” holiday season?

This episode is a personal one.

I’m opening up about the pressure we carry into the Christmas season—especially as moms, grandmas, adult children, and women who care deeply about creating meaningful memories.

From unrealistic expectations to the quiet ache of comparison, this season can weigh heavy on our hearts.

I’m sharing what I’ve learned—and am still learning—about letting go of perfection, celebrating what’s real, and finding peace in the middle of the mess.

Whether you’re feeling the weight of planning, missing someone you love, or just craving a quieter kind of Christmas…this one is for you. Let’s lower the pressure and raise our presence.

Listen in as I reflect on:

• Why we set the bar so high during the holidays

• How unrealistic expectations affect our families

• Three heart-level shifts that bring peace, not pressure

• The freedom of choosing presence over perfection

You’re not alone—and you don’t have to do Christmas perfectly to make it meaningful.
