Ep 46 - The Anti Perfect Holiday Episode
Episode Summary:
We’re rethinking holiday expectations this year and choosing peace over perfection. No more forcing traditions that make us want to hide in the pantry. No more guilt for not doing it “the way it’s always been done.”
✨ choosing smaller celebrations that actually fit real life
💛 letting go of guilt and setting honest boundaries without apologizing for it
👥 coping with split families and rotating holidays like adults
🍽️ kitchen politics truce by doing opt ins, assigning roles, or going full disposable
🧼 paper plates vs plates and cleanup strategies that save everyone’s sanity
🍷 the case for dinner out so you skip both dishes and resentment
🏡 local traditions like turkey trots, coffee runs, and then fully chilling
🌙 building low pressure rituals when kids are older, gone, or doing their own thing
💞 navigating relationship pace on holiday trips and mismatched energy levels
🛌 remembering it will all be over soon so choose rest whenever you can
