About this listen

🎄 Something Shifts This Time of Year

At Christmas, even familiar situations can feel heavier, louder, or more emotional. You might notice yourself reacting differently — and not always in ways you expect.

🤍 It’s Not Just You

From public spaces to family gatherings, there’s a shared tension in the air. Everyone feels it… but no one really says it out loud.

🧠 What’s Really Going On Beneath the Surface

Pressure, expectation, memory, and emotion quietly stack up. The result isn’t dramatic — it’s subtle, human, and deeply familiar.

🎁 Giving Yourself a Little Grace

This episode isn’t about fixing anything. It’s about noticing what’s happening, understanding why, and allowing yourself to experience the season with a little more compassion.

Things we all notice — but rarely talk about.
