The holidays are here, and with them comes the beautiful blend of joy, pressure, chaos, and connection that every mom knows all too well. In this festive Thanksgiving themed episode of Mom, Interrupted, we dive into the world of holiday hosting, family gatherings, and the behind-the-scenes magic moms are expected to create — all while keeping their sanity intact.

From planning the perfect meal (or pretending to), to navigating unpredictable family dynamics, to salvaging holiday traditions that don’t always go according to plan, this episode explores the real emotions and real-life moments that make the season what it is. You’ll hear funny hosting fails, nostalgic memories, and honest conversations about the invisible labor that moms shoulder this time of year.

We also unpack how to make the holidays feel lighter, more meaningful, and less like a performance — offering practical tips for embracing imperfection, setting realistic expectations, and choosing connection over chaos. Whether you’re chasing kids while basting a turkey, negotiating gift lists, or carving out moments of peace in the middle of the mayhem, this episode will make you feel seen, supported, and maybe even a little more excited for what’s ahead.

“Interrupted by: Turkeys, Traditions & Tantrums” is a warm, cozy, and hilariously honest reminder that the most memorable holiday moments are rarely the perfect ones — they’re the ones filled with laughter, crumbs, traditions, interruptions, and a whole lot of love.
