106| Mama Runs the Show: Simple Ways to Protect Your Peace This Christmas- Supermom Short

Santa may get the spotlight on Christmas morning, but moms are often the ones making the season happen—logistics, emotions, traditions, budgets, and the invisible “magic-making” behind the scenes. If the holidays feel heavy, it’s not because you’re doing it wrong—it’s because you’re doing everything. In this Supermom Short, Amy talks about redefining holiday magic, sharing the load, simplifying traditions without guilt, and building in real-life rest so you can actually enjoy the season.

Amy also shares the song she created called Mama Runs the Show at 11:30

• A peaceful mom creates more magic than a perfect plan.

• Your kids remember connection, not the tiny details you exhausted yourself to produce.

• Delegating isn’t failing—it’s leadership (and you’re great at it).

  Shared gift lists (whiteboard, kitchen list, Google Sheets)

  Delegation ideas: stocking stuffers, wrapping help, budgeting for older kids

• Traditions can evolve: “Maybe not this year” is a full sentence.

• Rest prevents resentment—small pockets of recovery count.

• “Santa doesn’t buy all the gifts… Santa swoops in for one night while mom’s been working since November.”

• “Magic is not exhaustion.”

• “A peaceful mom creates more magic than a perfect plan.”
