December is basically the Olympics for mums. The events never end, there's no medal ceremony, and somehow you're the athlete, the coach, the organiser, the snack provider, and the emotional support human for everyone else.
In this episode, Patti and Meghan are talking about what December really feels like. The invisible load. The emotional overdraft. The rage cleaning. The fantasies about checking into a hotel alone with snacks and silence. And most importantly, how to give yourself permission to breathe without guilt.
This is your reminder that you're not failing, you're overloaded. And that rest isn't lazy, it's leadership.
In this episode, we chat about:Why December hits mums so hard and why it's not your fault
The invisible holiday workload nobody sees but you feel
How breathing can actually reset your nervous system (and it's cheaper than tequila)
Letting go of perfection, festive crime scenes included
Why "done is better than perfect" needs to be your December mantra
Simple ways to recharge when your battery is stuck at 3 percent
Why getting in the photos matters more than how you look
Pour yourself a coffee, or a tequila, we don't judge, and take a breath with us. You are enough, even in December.
