A Real Christmas: Letting Go of the Pressure to Get It Perfect (Reignmaker Rewind)
Manage episode 525572957 series 3582489
Christmas isn’t always what we expect it to be.
In this festive Reignmaker Rewind, we share highlights from our Christmas Special - the stories, memories and moments that shaped our Christmases - from laughter in the kitchen and surprise reunions, to missing people and grief.
This is a conversation about:
- Why Christmas can feel heavy even when it 'should' be happy
- Family traditions that shape us more than we realise
- Navigating the first Christmas after loss
- Letting go of perfection and choosing presence instead
- Simple ways to ground yourself during festive overwhelm
- Why the small moments matter more than the big ones.
If you’ve been feeling pressure, sadness, nostalgia or loneliness this season, you are not alone.
This episode is an invitation to take the pressure off… and let Christmas be what it actually is 💛
