Maybe your family dynamics are complicated. Maybe the pressure to make everything perfect feels heavy. Maybe you already know that certain conversations, certain people, or certain patterns will be stressful… again.

And you’re dreading it. You’re tired before the season even begins.

If that’s you, take a breath. You’re in the right room. And I want this episode to feel like relief — like someone turning on a small light in a crowded, stressful space.

Because here’s the truth: Your holiday does not need to be perfect to be meaningful. And you don’t have to carry everything you’ve been carrying.

Today we’re going to explore the expectations weighing on you, what’s yours to carry and what’s not, and how journaling can help you craft a “good enough” holiday — with peace, with clarity, and with Jesus right in the center of it.

Let’s revisit your prompts as you move into this season:

1. What expectations are weighing on me right now?
2. Which of these are mine to carry, and which are not?

3. What would a “good enough” holiday look like this year?
