How To Make The Holidays Yours Again After Divorce
Manage episode 520947812 series 3326796
The holiday season can feel like a pressure cooker after divorce: new custody schedules, money stress, old traditions that no longer fit, and the unspoken rule that you must make it magical for everyone else. In this episode I’m offering you a different way forward. It’s one where you center yourself, protect your energy, and create a simpler, calmer season that actually feels like you.
I’ll break down the difference between performance mode and centered mode and why so many of us mistake exhaustion for devotion. You’ll come away from this episode with a better idea about what honest presence looks like for yourself during this holiday season rather than forced cheer. When you choose centered mode, you trade brittle perfection for steady, grounded care.
As a bonus, if you want extra support, I’ve created a short, self-paced holiday course for divorced women with short guided videos, journal prompts, reframes, and body-based practices to guide you through the season and beyond into you’re life after divorce.
