The holidays are a time for joy, connection, and cherished traditions—but for many women, they also come with immense pressure. In this heartfelt episode, Shonda Denise reflects on the incredible efforts her mother made to create magical holiday memories and the unspoken expectation that it was her responsibility to do so.

Shonda dives into the history of women as “memory keepers,” the weight of societal expectations, and the modern struggles of balancing endless demands. She asks the tough questions: Is all this effort for your happiness—or for others? And at what cost?

Through personal stories and thoughtful insights, Shonda Denise unpacks the emotional and logistical toll of striving for perfection and challenges us to redefine the holidays on our own terms. This episode is an invitation to let go of what no longer serves you and to embrace the season with authenticity, joy, and self-compassion.
