This week, Dr. Kelly Jameson joins me for a timely holiday reality check: RSVPs, manners, and the surprising double standard so many of us fall into. 

We expect our kids to honor every commitment—practice, games, rehearsals—yet as parents, we’ll cancel on a dime, ghost a hostess, or bail the morning of a party simply because life feels hectic.

Dr. Jameson breaks down why this is happening, what it’s teaching our kids (even when we don’t realize it), and how a few simple shifts can make us more thoughtful, more accountable, and a whole lot less stressed this season. It’s honest, eye-opening, and just in time for the busiest month of the year.

If you’re drowning in holiday invites or tempted to text “We’re not gonna make it,” this episode is your gentle nudge to listen.
