Christmas looks a little different in Denise’s home this year. In this episode of Working Moms Redefined, Denise shares the heartfelt conversation she had with her daughter when the big question finally came: “Mommy, is Santa real?” She opens up about the emotions behind that moment and the lessons that followed, including:
🎅 How she explained the story of St. Nicholas and passed the magic forward in a new way.
✉️ Why she chose to write a personal letter to her daughter about love, faith, and believing in things you cannot see.
🌟 What this season of parenting has reminded her about doing hard things and leaning into joy.
If you’re walking through this same stage with your kids, or simply need encouragement in navigating tough conversations, this episode will inspire you to hold on to both the magic of Christmas and the power of belief.
