I’m diving into a big topic this week – the holidays during divorce. It is a season that can feel like walking an emotional tightrope while trying to hold onto some joy. Whether it’s your first holiday season after divorce, your last one as a family before separating, or you’ve been navigating holidays in divorce for a while, it’s a time that stirs up all the emotions. 

Wherever you are in this process, I want you to know—you’re not alone. And let’s be real, were the holidays stress-free before divorce? Probably not. This episode isn’t just about surviving the holidays—it’s about reclaiming them in a way that works for you and your kids. Get emotionally prepared, collaborate where it counts, and make choices that put your kids at the heart of it all. 

In this episode, I dive into:

• Self-care survival to ensure you’re showing up for yourself and your kids
• Creating new traditions that align with who you are now
• Navigating the tricky question of whether to celebrate together “for the kids”
• Practical co-parenting strategies for gift-giving, scheduling, and prioritizing your children
