The holidays are often painted as joyful and magical—but for many of us, they can feel heavy, complicated, or emotionally overwhelming.

In this episode of The Sisterhood Tea Party Podcast, Stephanie and Jessica unpack what it really looks like to heal through the holidays. From navigating loss, breakups, and big life transitions to managing family dynamics and emotional burnout, we talk honestly about why this season can hit harder than expected.

We dive into:

• Why the holidays amplify emotions
• How to set boundaries that actually protect your peace
• Tools to support your mental and emotional health
• Creating new traditions when old ones no longer fit
• Letting go of the pressure to “perform” joy

We also lighten things up with What’s the Ick? — Holiday Edition, reacting to some of the most relatable holiday triggers (yes, including invasive questions and guilt-tripping invites).

Whether you’re grieving, healing, or simply trying to get through this season with grace, this episode is a reminder that you’re allowed to move at your own pace.

This week, we’re giving our goals a reality check. Not the Instagram version, the real one. We’re looking back at the intentions we set, the goals we actually hit, the ones that shifted, and the ones we didn’t hit at all. No shame. No pressure. Just honesty about what the year tried to teach us.

We talk:

• Paying off debt (the painful but empowering kind)

• Reinventing career paths after a layoff

• Letting go of goals that no longer fit

• Healing, rebuilding confidence, and learning when to rest

• Why missing a goal doesn’t mean failure

If you’ve ever looked at your goal list and thought, “Wow, life definitely had other plans,” this episode will feel like a deep exhale. You’re not behind, you’re becoming.

🎧 Listen, reflect, and celebrate how far you’ve actually come.

In this week’s episode, we’re talking about the weight you carry—even the parts no one notices.

Stephanie and Jessica break down the invisible mental load we all juggle: the appointments, emotional labor, to-dos, and responsibilities running in the background 24/7. We talk about why women often feel it the hardest and how simply naming what you’re carrying can lighten the weight.

Then we shift into seasonal energy—how fall, winter, spring, and summer impact your mood, motivation, and mental clarity. From the heaviness of shorter days to the overstimulation of summer, we unpack what it means to honor your natural rhythm instead of forcing yourself to operate at the same pace year-round.

We also chat about this week’s sponsor, TONA Activewear—our current obsession for clean, minimal, everyday pieces that make movement feel effortless. TONA is giving our listeners 16% off, their highest discount offered anywhere, when you use SPILLTHETEA at checkout on tonaactivewear.com.

To wrap things up, we play an Overrated or Underrated: Seasonal Edition and close with a Last Drop of Tea that reminds you to check in with yourself, honor your energy, and give yourself grace in every season.
