The Invisible Load of the Holidays: Why You’re Exhausted Before the Turkey’s Even in the Oven

In this fiery holiday special, Alicia rips the wrapping paper off the real reason working moms feel drained long before the turkey even hits the oven: the invisible emotional load they carry every single holiday season. From budgeting and gift-planning to navigating traditions, keeping the vibes peaceful, decorating everything from the living room to the bathroom, managing kids’ emotions, and trying to create a Hallmark-worthy experience — moms are essentially running holiday operations like a full-time unpaid COO.Alicia exposes the generational and societal programming that’s convinced moms they’re responsible for everyone’s holiday happiness — then calls BS on it. With humor, lived experience, and a healthy dose of holiday rebellion, she walks you through how to ditch guilt, break outdated traditions, reclaim your joy, and build a holiday season based on intention, not obligation.You’ll learn how to identify the traditions that actually feel good, release the ones that don’t, set boundaries around social events, delegate like a legend, embrace the “store-bought pie is holy” philosophy, and claim your right to rest.If you want a holiday season that’s calmer, cozier, less chaotic, and — most importantly — joyful for YOU… this episode is your permission slip to stop performing Christmas and start experiencing it.EPISODE RESOURCESSchedule a free discovery call: Here Get on my holiday newsletter for The Great Christmas Slowdown: https://lavenderandlemonscoaching.com/christmasCONNECT WITH MEInstagram: @a.s.granthamTikTok: @lavender_lemons_coachingWant to know more about working with me?: Work With Me - Coaching Details
