Christmas is often sold as the most joyful time of the year, but for many of us, it can quietly become one of the most overwhelming.
In this episode, we unpack the unspoken pressure to be merry, even when our energy, finances, boundaries, or emotions are stretched thin. We explore how the expectations surrounding Christmas can negatively impact our wellbeing, and why it’s so common to feel guilt, stress and overwhelm during a season that’s supposed to feel magical. This is an honest conversation about naming the pressure, normalising emotions, and giving yourself permission to experience Christmas in a way that actually supports you.
Learn practical, compassionate insights designed to help protect your overall wellbeing during the festive period to help you move through Christmas with more ease, clarity, and self-compassion.
While this episode centres on Christmas, the themes and insights are adaptable to any religious holiday.
