The holidays have a way of exposing what we’ve been holding together by sheer force.
If you’ve ever thought, “I should be enjoying this, but I’m exhausted, irritable, and counting the days until it’s over or the kids go to bed,” this episode is for you.
In today’s conversation, I explore why so many capable, faith-filled women feel emotionally undone during the holiday and why the problem is not gratitude, discipline, or spiritual failure.
We talk about:
-
Why holiday stress hits women who “normally handle everything”
-
What your nervous system is actually responding to this time of year
-
The theological difference between peace and performance
-
How Jesus restores order, not by adding more effort, but by rebuilding foundations
-
Why trying to “be joyful” often backfires and what works instead
