EP 140: What Christmas Really Gave Us: Stories of Intention, Energy & Family with Lora & Angelic

In this special Christmas edition of Fempreneur True Confessions, we slow down, reflect, and share deeply personal stories about what Christmas has meant to us across different seasons of life.

As the year comes to a close, we talk honestly about how the holidays aren’t always picture-perfect and how, for many, this time of year can bring mixed emotions. Instead of focusing on traditions for tradition’s sake, we explore the energy, intention, and meaning behind the moments that stay with us forever.

From childhood memories shaped by scarcity, creativity, and unexpected generosity to building meaningful traditions with our own families, this episode is a reminder that Christmas isn’t about what’s under the tree. It’s about the energy exchanged, the thought behind the gesture, and the love infused into even the simplest moments.

One story, in particular, reflects a defining Christmas where gifts were scarce, a tree was improvised, and joy arrived unexpectedly through the kindness of others. That moment became a lifelong lesson in energy, intention, and the true spirit of giving.

We also reflect on:

• Growing up with different cultural and religious traditions

• Creating magic without money or perfection

• Why intention matters more than the gift itself

• How family, presence, and creativity shape holiday memories

• Letting go of “one-day gratitude” and choosing appreciation year-round

• Finding comfort in simple traditions like pajamas, food, lights, and being together

  
  

This episode is warm, reflective, and deeply human. A gentle reminder that the holidays don’t need to look a certain way to be meaningful. Sometimes the most powerful memories are born from resilience, love, and unexpected generosity.

Whether you’re surrounded by family, creating new traditions, or navigating a quieter season, we hope this conversation feels like a soft place to land during the holidays.
