Episode 11. The Hidden Rage of Holiday Prep

Do the holidays already feel like a to-do list? In this week’s episode, Hav and Aleea unpack the emotional and mental load of being the one who “makes the magic.” Because sometimes the pressure to create the perfect holiday turns into resentment, guilt, and burnout.

They talk about the Pinterest-perfect expectations, the subtle shame around gifts, and how social media can make even meaningful traditions feel like they’re not “enough.” They are breaking down how to redefine holiday traditions, reduce pressure, and focus on what actually matters — connection, not consumption.

If you’re craving a more grounded, joyful season (and permission to ask for help), this episode is for you. ✨
