Ever feel like you're drowning in Christmas to-do lists while everyone else is just... enjoying the season? In this raw and real episode, I'm opening up about my own Christmas struggles as a mom of five and an entrepreneur. From managing the endless mental load to dealing with post-holiday clutter in our small house, I'm sharing how I've learned to make Christmas work for me (and yes, that includes the year we decorated our tree with single socks!). Let's talk about finding joy in the chaos and making sure mom gets to enjoy the magic too.
