You’re Not Tired - You’re Carrying Christmas

If you feel completely wiped by the holidays — but can’t quite explain why — this episode is for you.

Because it’s not just the running around. It’s not just the late nights or the packed calendar. It’s the thinking. The planning. The remembering. The emotional labor no one sees.

In this solo episode, Brittany Anderson unpacks the hidden exhaustion of the holiday season, especially for moms. From carrying the invisible to-do list to feeling the pressure to make everything “magical,” this conversation is an honest look at why December can feel so heavy — even when it’s meant to be joyful.

This isn’t about lowering the bar or canceling traditions. It’s about redefining what meaningful actually looks like, setting boundaries that protect your energy, and remembering that the moments that matter most are often the smallest ones.

You don’t need to do more to make the holidays special. You just need permission to be present.

• Why holiday exhaustion isn’t just physical — it’s mental and emotional

• The invisible labor moms carry during Christmas

• How perfectionism quietly steals joy

• Why “making it magical” often becomes too much

• How family traditions are allowed to change over time

• Finding meaning in simplicity, not production

• Setting boundaries without guilt

• Letting go of unrealistic expectations

• Why the small moments create the biggest memories

• Choosing presence over perfection

• You’re not lazy — you’re carrying a mental load

• You don’t have to do everything to make Christmas meaningful

• Perfection is optional; presence is powerful

• Traditions can evolve as your family does

• Protecting your energy protects your joy

• “It’s not just about being tired.”

• “It’s the thinking that drains us.”

• “Perfection is exhausting.”
