Episode 76: Christmas Survival Guide for Women

Does Christmas leave you feeling more frazzled than festive? This week on Aligned Womb, Aligned You, we're talking about the unspoken reality of the holiday season for women: the mental load, the pressure to make it all magical, and the exhaustion that comes from doing all the things.

In this episode, I’m breaking down how the Christmas hustle uniquely impacts women and what we can do to reclaim the season for ourselves. From syncing your holiday planning with your cycle to delegating traditions (yes, even Elf on the Shelf!), we’ll explore practical ways to simplify, share the load, and rediscover the joy of the holidays.

Whether you’re juggling shopping lists, family dinners, or just trying to hold onto a sliver of peace, this conversation will leave you feeling empowered to rewrite the Christmas story—your way.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
🎄 The reality of the Christmas mental load and why it disproportionately affects women.
✨ How to use your menstrual cycle to plan holiday tasks for maximum energy and ease.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Why it’s time to involve the whole family and delegate traditions and tasks.
🎁 Tips for simplifying traditions and creating meaningful memories without the stress.
🩸 How to honor your energy during your luteal phase or period, even during the holiday season.
📆 Why it’s okay to celebrate Christmas on your terms (even if it’s not on December 25!).
