If This Holiday Season Feels Tender, You’re Not Doing It Wrong: Permission to Be Where You Are

🌿 Episode Description

Not every holiday season feels joyful — and that doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.

In this gentle solo episode, I share a heartfelt reflection for anyone moving through a tender, heavy, or quieter-than-expected holiday season. This is an invitation to slow down, lower expectations, and allow yourself to be exactly where you are — without guilt, explanation, or pressure to perform joy.

If you’re craving reassurance, softness, and permission to simply be, this episode is for you.

🌿 Show Notes 

The holidays are often filled with expectations — to feel joyful, grateful, connected, and festive. But what if this season feels tender instead?

In this solo episode, I’m sharing a compassionate reflection for anyone navigating a quieter, heavier, or more complex holiday season. I talk about how midlife reinvention doesn’t always look bold or loud — sometimes it looks like pausing, allowing, and sitting gently with what is.

This episode isn’t about fixing anything or pushing through. It’s about permission.

In this episode, I explore:

• Why tenderness during the holidays doesn’t mean you’re failing
• How midlife holidays can carry unexpected complexity
• Letting go of performative joy and unrealistic expectations
• Choosing kindness, softness, and rest instead of pushing
• How reinvention can unfold quietly through pause and reflection

I also shine a light on the Ageless Traveler podcast, which celebrates women who continue to explore, adventure, and discover what’s possible at every age.

If this season finds you feeling unsure, reflective, or in need of gentleness, this episode is a reminder that you’re not alone — and you’re exactly where you need to be.
