So many moms move through the holidays carrying a weight they never talk about — the weight of trying to create “perfect” moments for everyone else.
The perfect holiday.
But here’s the truth we dive into in this episode:
Perfect moments don’t matter.
In this week’s Calm Mom Season holiday series episode, we explore the quiet pressure that pulls moms out of the present and into performance, and how to reclaim the moments that actually matter.
This conversation is honest, grounding, and deeply human.
✨ Inside this episode, we talk about:
Why moms often miss the very moments they’re trying to create
The emotional root of perfectionism during the holidays
A personal story that shifted my entire perspective
What real presence looks like in everyday motherhood (it’s messy and beautiful)
How to slow down enough to actually experience your life
A grounding 5-minute presence practice you can use anywhere
This week’s Calm Mom challenge: a no-phone night or a slow morning
The thing your family remembers long after the moment is gone
✨ This episode will help you:
release pressure
soften your expectations
reconnect with what actually matters
feel more human and less “held together”
find calm in the middle of real life, not after it
This is your invitation to stop chasing perfect…
Press play when you’re ready to feel lighter.
Be sure share this will your mom friend and follow the podcast so you don't miss any future episodes.
