Episode 4: Holiday Expectations & Everything That Comes With Them

Nancy and Nicole get real about the holidays—expectations, blended families, grief, boundaries, “experiences vs. stuff,” and what it means to move through a tender season with more honesty and compassion. They talk about mismatched holiday traditions, grown kids and shifting plans, decorating disappointments, what happens when you bulldoze your vision onto everyone else, and how to show up with more communication and care. If this time of year feels tender, complicated, or just a lot, this conversation will make you feel less alone.
