#74: From Chaos to Connection: Creating Holiday Traditions That Work for Your Stepfamily


Listen Later

Holidays as a stepmom can feel like walking a tightrope between honoring old traditions and creating space for something new. But here’s the thing: the holidays aren’t just about the past—they’re about building a future full of joy, connection, and belonging. In this episode, we’re diving into how you can confidently ditch outdated traditions, create fresh ones, and build a holiday season that feels uniquely yours.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

  • How to gracefully step away from traditions that no longer work for your stepfamily.
  • Creative and fun ideas for building meaningful new traditions (hint: gingerbread house competitions and nachos in PJs are encouraged).
  • Why prioritizing connection over perfection is the ultimate holiday hack.
  • A confidence boost to help you reclaim your holiday season with love and laughter.
