If Christmas feels less like joy and more like financial pressure, you’re not alone.

This episode is your permission slip to stop people-pleasing, stop overspending, and finally create a Christmas that feels grounded, spacious, and financially safe.

Inside this raw, honest conversation, I’m unpacking the emotional and money patterns that make Christmas such a stressful time for so many women, especially if you grew up in scarcity or you’ve been stuck in the “spend now, panic later” cycle for years. We dive into how to navigate family expectations, set empowered boundaries, shift the shame, and plan for Christmas in a way that actually supports your wealth not destroys it.

Because you deserve a Christmas that feels light, abundant, and drama-free… not one that leaves you in a financial hangover until March.
