In this heartfelt post-Thanksgiving episode, Vlad and Angie dive into the complex emotions many of us carry into the holiday season—especially those who grew up in chaotic or unstable households. As the holidays approach, old wounds, unmet expectations, and complicated family patterns can resurface. This conversation reminds listeners that healing is possible and that new traditions can be created with intention, love, and emotional awareness.
Vlad and Angie open up about:
- Childhood holiday experiences marked by chaos, grief, or uncertainty
- How unresolved childhood wounds show up during the holidays
- The emotional reality of being adult children navigating family expectations
- Parenting during the holiday season while healing your inner child
- Breaking generational cycles to create new, healthy traditions
- Honoring the past without letting it dictate your present
- Building a holiday season rooted in peace, values, and emotional safety
If the holidays bring up more pressure than joy, this episode will help you feel seen, grounded, and empowered to redefine the season on your own terms.
