Minisode Ep.233 — Christmas Is Coming: Stop Telling Yourself It's Going to Be Miserable

In this week’s minisode, I’m getting a little festive (yes, I know it’s only October!) after receiving a comment from a woman who's facing her first Christmas without her children and is worried about feeling sad and lonely. It got me thinking about the stories we tell ourselves, and how easily we can convince ourselves that an experience is going to be miserable before it's even happened. As someone who's single, childfree and absolutely LOVES Christmas, I want to challenge the idea that the festive season is somehow less enjoyable without a partner or children. We're talking mindset, expectations, creating your own traditions and finding joy in doing things YOUR way. And while I'm certainly not dismissing the genuine sadness that Christmas can bring for some people, I am offering a little tough love about why we need to stop assuming that spending Christmas alone automatically means having a depressing time. Because it really, really doesn't!
