Hola,
This is the Christmas episode… but not the shiny, matching-PJ, chestnuts-by-the-fire version.
This is the one for the woman whose December feels different this year.
Quieter. Messier. More emotional. Less like the fantasy and more like real life.
In this episode of The Reinvention Era, I’m talking honestly about:
- the Christmas you thought you’d have
- the Christmas you’re actually having
- and why the gap between those two can feel emotional as hell
Because Christmas has a sneaky way of dragging up every expectation we’ve ever absorbed…
Who we thought we’d be by now.
What we thought life would look like.
The roles we’ve always played… the peacemaker, the hostess, the “good girl”, the one who holds it all together.
And for so many women, December becomes the ultimate identity check-in… whether we want it to or not.
In this episode, we go all in on…..
- Why Christmas hits your identity nerves harder than any other time of year
- How nostalgia, expectation, and emotional labour collide in December
- Why outgrowing old traditions doesn’t make you ungrateful (it makes you honest)
- The quiet grief and growth that can coexist at this time of year
- And how to reinvent Christmas without making it big, dramatic, or perfect
I also talk about….
- What it looks like to let go of Christmas expectations that no longer fit
- Why I’ve consciously chosen a Christmas that works for this version of me
- And 8 simple micro-reinventions you can use this season… no pressure, no pretending, no performance required
This episode is for you if:
- Christmas feels emotional, complicated, lonely, or just… off
- You’re tired of performing joy
- You’ve changed, but the traditions around you haven’t
- Or you’re somewhere between who you used to be and who you’re becoming
Because this Christmas might not look like the one you imagined… but it could be the most honest, aligned, and self-honouring one you’ve ever had.
You don’t owe anyone a performance.
You’re not behind.
You’re unfolding.
Merry Christmas
