Welcome to the second part of Ang’s two part special on Christmas. There are so many traditions around Christmas and New Year and we always feel like we have to adhere to them to please others or because ‘that’s what Christmas should be’. However, in this episode Ang proposes a new way to approach Christmas and New Year. From doing away with New Year's resolutions to being selfish over the holidays, Ang is giving you the tools to start some new Christmas traditions and to make 2025 the best year yet.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
-
Christmas is different after a divorce, whether you want it to be or not. It took Ang a little while to work this out, but as she explains here, planning is the key to having the Christmas you want.
-
You can’t control what other people do but, you can control how you respond. Ang talks about the concept of ‘Just Let Them’ and how it can help you cope with negative behaviours from others so that they don’t spoil this special time of year.
-
Everyone makes a New Year's resolution, but how many of us really stick to them? Ang proposes an alternative “A Last Year Funeral”. She explains this concept, of letting go of the negativity in your life, and how it can make your new year the best yet.
-
Ang shares the details of her Christmas gift to you and how it can help you through the festive period and move into the new year with a more positive mindset.
BEST MOMENTS
“Don’t look for others to make your life great, make it great yourself.”
“You must live with the determination and awareness to move forward with a different mindset.”
“Even if you believe in fate and destiny, you must take proactive action to make it happen.”

ABOUT THE PODCAST
Do I Really Hate Men?
Interesting question and one I have asked myself many times. This is not an ‘I hate men’ podcast neither is it just an account of my divorce and the many awful events leading up to and during it. This podcast is a safe space to delve into what happens when relationships end, it provides guidance on how to carry on being a functioning adult and/or Single Mum when you feel broken inside.
This podcast provides hope sprinkled with

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
