From feeling like time (or money) is running out to second-guessing gift choices and blaming ourselves for our kids\u2019 behavior, there\u2019s no shortage of ways for moms to feel crummy during the holidays. Even when everything miraculously gets done, you might wonder where the heck\u2019s the magic or feel guilty wondering if you slowed down enough to actually enjoy it (and honestly, would it even be the holidays without a good, old-fashioned mom tantrum?). In this last episode before Christmas, Meagan and Sarah talk through the various ways moms tend to be hard on themselves this time of year, and some ways we\u2019ve learned to reframe our messy feelings. We also chat about how we\u2019re feeling this particular Christmas and how it compares to holidays of the past. Depending on when you listen to this episode, consider it your pre- or post-holiday pep talk\u2013complete with a tasty detour into charcuterie board land. We promise it\u2019s NOT too late to give yourself a little grace. We\u2019re here for you, friends! Enjoy.
