44 - It’s July and I’m already dreading Christmas

If you're already worrying about the holidays, you're not alone. In this episode, we unpack why Christmas and family events can feel heavy when you're navigating a loved one’s addiction or recovery. 

The tension.

The managing.

The bracing.

The pretending.

The heartbreak.

We are talking about how to shift from survival mode to calm, clear action before the festive season hits. For women feeling anxious, exhausted or on edge, this is your first step toward a different kind of December.

Because this year can be different.

And it starts long before December.
