Episode 85
Christmas brings out the best in us… and also the parts of us we avoid all year.
If you're a woman who holds it all together — the planner, the organiser, the emotional anchor — this season can feel less like “joy” and more like pressure, overwhelm, and perfectionism on steroids.
In this episode, Stacey breaks down:
- Why women feel the YEAR in their body by December
- How Christmas amplifies self-doubt, overthinking, people-pleasing and emotional responsibility
- The real reason you can invest in Black Friday deals but still hesitate investing in yourself
- How to stay calm, grounded, and connected to YOU this season
- 5 practical tools to manage your nervous system, your energy, and your expectations
- And why waiting until January will keep you stuck in the same cycles next year
If you’re feeling stretched, overwhelmed, disconnected, or trying to be “the perfect woman” this Christmas… this episode is your permission slip to breathe, soften, and choose differently.
