I’m going to say this and it might ruffle a few feathers… I don’t like Christmas. Not the people or the connection but the pressure, the pretending, the forced cheer, and the quiet judgement disguised as small talk. The stress, the spending, the comparison, and the expectation that your life should look perfect by year’s end. This special episode cuts through the noise to talk honestly about: • Fake positivity and hidden exhaustion • Financial and emotional pressure • The myth of January as a “fresh start” • Goals, self-worth, and why surviving still counts If last year didn’t go to plan, this episode is for you. If you’re tired of being measured by what you’re doing instead of how you’re actually coping, this is for you. No hype. No hustle. No “new you.” Just a grounded reminder that you’re not broken, not behind and you can start again anytime, on your own terms.
