Every mom feels it this time of year, that pressure to make the holidays magical. The traditions, the gifts, the matching pajamas, the special everything… and honestly, it can get overwhelming fast.

Today on Motherish, we’re joined by Paige Connell (@sheisapaigeturner) to talk about simplifying the season without losing the joy. She brings such a real, refreshing perspective on letting go of perfection and creating meaningful moments that actually feel good for you and your family.

We’re unpacking holiday expectations, burnout, mom guilt, and how to rediscover the magic in a way that’s peaceful instead of pressured. Because the holidays aren’t about production, they’re about presence.
