In this fiery holiday special, Alicia rips the wrapping paper off the real reason working moms feel drained long before the turkey even hits the oven: the invisible emotional load they carry every single holiday season. From budgeting and gift-planning to navigating traditions, keeping the vibes peaceful, decorating everything from the living room to the bathroom, managing kids’ emotions, and trying to create a Hallmark-worthy experience — moms are essentially running holiday operations like a full-time unpaid COO.

Alicia exposes the generational and societal programming that’s convinced moms they’re responsible for everyone’s holiday happiness — then calls BS on it. With humor, lived experience, and a healthy dose of holiday rebellion, she walks you through how to ditch guilt, break outdated traditions, reclaim your joy, and build a holiday season based on intention, not obligation.

You’ll learn how to identify the traditions that actually feel good, release the ones that don’t, set boundaries around social events, delegate like a legend, embrace the “store-bought pie is holy” philosophy, and claim your right to rest.

If you want a holiday season that’s calmer, cozier, less chaotic, and — most importantly — joyful for YOU… this episode is your permission slip to stop performing Christmas and start experiencing it.
