The holiday season often brings unique challenges for divorced women. When family gatherings change, traditions feel different, and the absence of familiar routines leaves us disoriented, it’s normal to experience sadness and longing for what used to be. In this episode, I dive deep into the ways you can not only survive but actually enjoy the holidays post-divorce by creating meaningful moments and focusing on what truly matters.

Tune in as we discuss:

• Letting go of “Hallmark” expectations and embracing imperfect, real-life celebrations
• Facing the reality of different holiday routines without letting it diminish your joy
• Separating your own experience from your children’s, and making sure they feel loved without carrying your burdens
• Ideas for building new traditions, coordinating peacefully with your ex, and planning joyful gatherings, even if they’re on a different day
• Making decisions that align with your values rather than allowing holiday emotions to lead to regretful choices

The holidays may look different now, but different doesn’t have to mean worse. Join me as I explain how to find peace and joy in this season, setting the tone for a holiday experience that leaves you and your children with beautiful new memories.
