Holiday Comparison Is Wild… Let’s Talk About It
Holiday Comparison Is Wild… Let’s Talk About What’s Actually Going On
Welcome back to Getting Through the Week — the podcast where we take a breath, tell the truth, and remember we’re not the only ones trying to survive the holidays without losing our minds.
This week’s episode is a deep (and hilarious) dive into something EVERYONE feels in December but almost no one admits out loud:
✨ Holiday comparison.
✨ Worthiness spirals.
✨ Gift anxiety.
✨ Family-trigger flashbacks.
✨ And the shadowy little voice that whispers, “Are you doing enough?”
We go there —
from the Target candle showdown
to the gingerbread house crime scene
to the Olympic-level Christmas-light judging
to the “oh crap, they got me a gift and I didn’t get them one” stomach drop.
But beneath the humor is something real:
December activates our worthiness wound.
Our shadow wakes up.
Our nervous system gets loud.
And this episode helps you understand WHY — and how to regulate yourself in the moment without making everyone around you wonder if you’re malfunctioning.
We walk through:
• Why comparison spikes this time of year
• The childhood root of “am I enough?”
• How both men and women feel this (yes, men too!)
• Somatic clues that your shadow is driving
• Quick resets to calm your system on the fly
• A December self-worth practice that actually sticks
And at the end, we talk softly — really softly — about the part of you that’s tired.
The part that wants gentleness.
The part that doesn’t want to perform strength anymore.
That’s where Soft30 comes in.
If your whole system is craving a slower, softer, feminine reset as we close out the year, make sure you’re connected with me so you get the link first:
