HER CHRISTMAS SORTED

🎄 Running Christmas on your own again this year? Her Christmas Sorted gets the whole thing out of your head and onto your phone, yours every year:

Your self-worth has nothing to do with your bank account, your postcode, or your credit score — but not knowing anything about your household finances? That's a real problem. In this episode, Anna talks about making herself so essential that nobody else could function, and how she ended up running her entire household like a one-woman company on fumes.

Anna grew up in a generation where you were just expected to *know* stuff. How to make appointments, pay bills, manage money — there was no Google, no podcasts, no safety net. By the time she was married, she'd taken that survival mentality and weaponised it, becoming responsible for every single aspect of household management: the physical load, the mental load, the financial load, everything.

But there are two extremes here, and both are dangerous. On one end, you're doing literally everything yourself with no support. On the other end, you're giving away all your financial power to someone else — and you genuinely have no idea how your household finances actually work. Then something happens. A car accident. A divorce. A death. Suddenly you're in an infinite minefield.

This episode is about understanding the gap between blissful ignorance and burnout, and finding the middle ground where you actually know what's going on. Because not knowing is dangerous. Making yourself so indispensable that everyone else is helpless? That's got its own minefield too.

Whether you're in a relationship, single, co-parenting, or living with family — if you don't know the basics of your household finances, this is a wake-up call. Anna shares real stories about the moment she realised she'd built a house of cards where everyone depended entirely on her.
