The holidays can feel magical… and a little heartbreaking when you’re building a life on your own. In this episode, I’m talking honestly about single season in December — the joy, the gratitude, the longing, and the moments that hit a little harder this time of year.

I share what it’s been like to spend Christmas mornings alone for years, why dating in midlife feels like a sport nobody trained us for, and how those tiny everyday moments (Costco runs, opening a good bottle of wine, watching a new show) can make you miss a person who isn’t in your life yet.

I also talk about the women listening to this show — how often you tell me an episode made you feel less alone — and why that matters so much. And we get into one of my favorite reflections: looking at where you were a year ago and actually giving yourself credit for everything you’ve handled, carried, and created.

If this season feels a little tender… you’re not the only one.

You’re not behind. You’re human. And your story isn’t finished.
