Big Mum Energy

You Don’t Need to Go Broke for Christmas


Listen Later

This week on Big Mum Energy, Ali is climbing straight up on her soapbox because Christmas is coming, bank accounts are sweating, and the pressure to over-deliver is absolutely cooked.

In this episode, Ali dives into:

🎄 Why Christmas doesn’t have to mean maxed-out credit cards and financial stress

🎁 The myth that “big presents = good parenting”

🎮 Kids wanting Roblox, screens, and online everything — and why banning social media feels pointless if we’re not teaching balance

📱 The contradiction of social media bans while kids live in digital worlds

😵‍💫 How mums are once again carrying the emotional and financial load of “making Christmas magical”

It’s funny, fiery, and honest a reminder that presence matters more than presents, memories beat material crap, and love isn’t measured in how much you spend.

If you’re a mum stressing about Christmas budgets, screen time, or feeling like you’re already behind — this episode is your permission slip to do Christmas your way.

Pull up a chair. Pour a wine.

Let’s talk about the stuff no one else will.
