Merry & Unhinged: Choosing Joy Before the Holidays

The holidays have a way of shining a light on what’s tender, what’s heavy, and what’s longing to be reimagined. In today’s episode, we talk about finding happiness during the holidays when every season of life looks a little different, and how joy doesn’t have to follow a script to be real.

Before we ever make it to the intro, things take a turn. Krystyn arrives ELF-style with a jack-in-the-box, jump-scaring herself and our audio engineer Keira, flexing her Christmas movie knowledge for pop culture princess Rachael, briefly losing her mind over ASMR, and getting a very clear directive from Rachael telling the jack-in-the-box to f*ck right off. Truly… festive chaos.

Once we settle in, we dig into the heart of the season: how to do less without guilt, how to protect your peace, and how to honor yourself, and the holidays, with authentic joy. We talk about pressure, magic, expectations, and what it really means to embody the spirit of the season in a way that feels nourishing instead of draining.

If the holidays feel complicated, tender, hilarious, or all of the above, this one’s for you. Grab something warm, take a breath, and join us for a grounded, magical, very real conversation about choosing joy on your own terms.
