Description

In this week’s episode of More Than Moms, we’re getting real about the most wonderful and emotionally complicated time of the year. If the holidays bring up stress, family tension, or the pressure to make everything magical for everyone else, you’re not alone, and this one’s for you.


We get into:

  • Family triggers that pop up fast this time of year
  • In-laws and boundary setting without guilt
  • Weight and body comments (and how to handle them)
  • Holiday chaos with kids and why it feels like so much
  • Family dynamics that resurface every season
  • New traditions that actually feel good
  • Loneliness, even when surrounded by people
  • Splitting time between families without losing your mind


We hope this conversation helps you feel grounded, supported, and a little more at ease heading into the holiday season.
