Mambition Moments #26 - Christmas Stress and Motherhood: Permission to Do Less This Year - Tiffany Scott (Sanya)

from Mambition · host Tiffany Scott and Alex Morgan

My daughter played with cornflour and ice for 2 hours at nursery. My kids' favourite Christmas activity? Running to the Polar Express soundtrack.And I realised: they're giving me the permission to keep it simple.Before I became a mum, I volunteered with Shelter at Christmas. The people there had nowhere to go. They'd ask why I was "giving up" my Christmas. But it taught me: if you have people who love you, family to be with - you've already won Christmas.So why are we overcomplicating it?The toys we panic-buy. The elaborate experiences. The pressure to make it "magical." We're so stressed we can't enjoy it.At the start of December, I went to a spa weekend. Started the month by putting myself first. And I think that's why this Christmas feels different.In this episode: What children actually remember. What mothers can let go of. And why simplifying Christmas isn't about doing less - it's about being present enough to actually enjoy it.Simple IS magic. That was always the magic.
