Getting over someone is hard. Getting over someone during the holidays? That’s a whole different kind of heartbreak.

In this episode, I want to sit with you through that. No fake cheer, no “just be grateful” advice. Just real talk about what it feels like to show up to family dinners with a broken heart, to dodge questions about someone you’re still hurting over, and to pretend you’re okay when you’re not.

I’ll walk you through a few things that might help, and one hard truth you might not want to hear—but might need to. This one’s for anyone feeling lonely in a room full of people, anyone who just wants to stay home and cry, and anyone wondering if it’s okay to not feel merry this year.

Because it is. And you’re not alone.

The voicemails are open and the submissions are in, and folks we have a lot to talk about. It is time for some tough love talks on breakups, right person wrong time and being ready to heal.

We spend so much time obsessing over the 20% of things that don’t really matter—what they think of us, if we said the right thing, if we’re doing enough—when in reality, 80% of our happiness comes from the simplest things. The people who show up. The moments that make us feel alive. The things we do just because they make us happy.

This episode is your reminder to stop giving so much of your energy to the things that won’t matter in a year. Let’s talk about shifting your focus, letting go of what’s draining you, and learning how to actually enjoy your life.
