Everything’s Perfect…Except It’s the Holiday Special! 🎄

Episode Description
In this Holiday Special, Autumn and Donald unpack everything that makes Christmas both magical and exhausting. From childhood traditions and nostalgia to adult expectations, family dynamics, gift guilt, and holiday burnout, this episode is funny, honest, and deeply relatable. They reflect on how Christmas feels different as adults, the pressure to show up emotionally and financially, and how “doing Christmas right” can quietly steal the joy. The conversation covers navigating tricky family interactions, setting boundaries during the holidays, managing comparison and guilt, and giving yourself permission to celebrate in a way that actually feels good to you. With humor, vulnerability, and perspective, this episode is a reminder that Christmas doesn’t have to be perfect — sometimes just making it through the season is the win.
