As we head into Thanksgiving week, many mompreneurs feel torn between gratitude and emotional overload. The holidays can awaken old patterns, activate expectations we didn’t know we were carrying, and leave us juggling business, motherhood, and emotional weight — all at once.
That’s why today’s conversation couldn’t come at a better time.
I’m welcoming back one of your favorite guests — Bronwyn Schweigerdt, psychotherapist, author, speaker, and host of the podcast Angry at the Right Things. Bronwyn helps us understand that anger isn’t something to hide or fix — it’s actually a powerful signal pointing us toward what matters most.
In this episode, we explore:
• Why the holidays activate emotional triggers for moms and mompreneurs
• How to communicate with children and family without walking on eggshells
• What it means to set boundaries with compassion — not guilt
• How to become your own mirror, instead of seeking approval from others
• How to carry emotional integration into the New Year
This conversation is real, hopeful, and deeply practical — especially if you’ve ever felt overwhelmed during the holidays or pressured to “make everything perfect” at the expense of your peace.
✨ 3 Takeaways You’ll Walk Away With
- How to release guilt around holiday expectations and protect your peace
- Tools to communicate emotional needs with family & kids (even during conflict)
- How to step into 2025 anchored in self-trust instead of perfection

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.
