In this episode, we’re diving into what it really takes to survive December as a mom — the pressure, the expectations, the mental load, and the nonstop calendar of school events, holiday tasks, and family needs. We talk through the quiet stressors no one mentions, the guilt that creeps in when the month feels overwhelming, and the emotional weight of trying to create “magic” for everyone else.

You’ll hear simple shifts to help you protect your energy, identify what actually matters to your family, and let go of the rest without guilt. We share practical ways to build in breathing room, how to avoid mom burnout, and small grounding practices that can anchor you when December starts spiraling.

This is your reminder that you’re doing enough, you don’t need to chase perfection, and it’s okay to choose the version of December that feels sustainable. Cozy, calming, honest, and encouraging — this episode is your companion for getting through the busiest month of the year with more ease and less overwhelm.
