126: 10 Tips For Navigating the Holidays With Grace As a Childless Woman

I used to dread the Christmas holidays when I first learned that I wasn't going to have kids of my own. Along with all the grief the holidays brought up, I also felt like I didn't belong at the kid-centred events or even at my own family gatherings. The holidays are probably one of the toughest times for childless women.  Grief can hit at unexpected moments and the triggers seem to be all over the place.  They hit our social media feeds, our shopping excursions,  and the middle of the football game on TV.  Even a quick trip to the grocery store can seem daunting. One of the hardest things about it might be that you've lost sight of your true self desires, so that you can imagine future holidays without all the traditions you thought you'd be creating with your kids. Over the years, I've created a holiday season that I absolutely love.  In this episode, I share my best 10 tips for you to create yours. You'll find out:how to process the grief that comes up (hint: time doesn't heal)what to do to prepare for the potential triggers and release themhow to redesign your holidays in a way that feels good for youIf you're ready to create the life your soul truly desires, join me to Manifest Your Best Year in 2025.
