In this solo stream of consciousness episode, I reflect on the unique challenges and joys that the holiday season brings for families navigating rare diseases and medical complexities. I share practical tips for managing expectations, creating meaningful traditions, and finding joy in the small moments. I'm here to offer encouragement for parents feeling the weight of the season, reminding them that connection and presence matter far more than perfection. Whether you’re scaling back traditions or adapting them entirely, this episode is a gentle reminder that the holidays can still hold magic, even when they look different.
