The holidays can feel overwhelming when you're estranged from family — full of pressure, grief, guilt and complicated emotions. In this episode, I share my own estrangement story, the challenges Christmas can bring, and the mindset shifts, boundaries and rituals that have helped me create a season that feels peaceful and supportive.

Your Christmas doesn't have to look like anyone else's. You're allowed to protect your energy, honour your feelings, and build new traditions that bring you comfort, connection and joy.
