#5 Navigating the holidays: Family dynamics, expectations & choosing what YOU need

from Sound & Soul · host Christin Niehus & Lena Seifert

The holiday season is often painted as magical, joyful and full of togetherness. And while this is true, for many of us, it also brings pressure, complicated family dynamics, unspoken expectations and emotional overwhelm.In this episode, we slow down and talk honestly about what the holidays really feel like behind the scenes. From changing traditions and celebrating away from family, to navigating divorce, cultural differences and the pressure to “keep the peace,” we share our personal experiences of Christmas evolving over the years.This is an invitation to redefine what the season means to you and to honor your needs without guilt.
