In this season finale, Jess and Erin dive straight into the very real, very exhausting Christmas pressure so many moms feel. If you’ve ever found yourself knee-deep in wrapping paper, hiding the Elf at 11:59 p.m., or wondering why on earth you're wearing another set of matching pajamas… pull up a chair. This one’s for you.

Heads up: We talk openly about Santa and certain holiday “mysteries,” so maybe throw in some headphones if little believers are nearby!

Inside the Episode:

• Choosing presence over perfection (because the to-do list will never love you back)

• The sneaky ways popular traditions pile on stress (Elf on the Shelf, matching PJs, advent calendars, all of it)

• How to figure out which traditions actually bring joy vs. which ones make you want to run away to the North Pole

• Re-centering on the whole point of Christmas: Jesus, hope, and peace

• Creating meaningful memories without performing for Instagram

• A biblical look at peace during the holiday season (Proverbs 17:10, Luke 2:10–11)

What You’ll Walk Away With:

We get honest about what we’ve kept, what we’ve ditched, and why saying “no” is sometimes the holiest thing you can do in December. At the end of the day, your kids don’t need a Pinterest-perfect Christmas. They need you. Present, calm(ish), and enjoying the magic with them.

Perfect For:Moms feeling the weight of holiday expectations, families craving a simpler Christmas, and anyone who’s ready to trade chaos for meaning this year.

If you’re loving these conversations, we’d be so grateful if you’d tap follow and come along for the journey!
