Christmas Dreams and Real-Life Expectations (Podcast)

'Tis the season to mute social media accounts whose perfect photos cause too many feelings (just until January, maybe). This week we talk to Moms about how to tap into your own desires for the season and ask, "What do I want this Christmas to look like?" We explore how to successfully make memories with your family and experience some magic with maximum joy and minimum effort. Layne lays out a plan for collaborating with your kids to wrap a good narrative around expectations and Jess speaks to the pressure to make everything special in early motherhood while feeling so, so tired (Spoiler: if you're keeping the baby alive and fed, well done! Enlist family and friends to help with the celebration part).

Very Good Enough Podcast is available on Spotify and anywhere you listen to podcasts!

Once again, we talked to each other for too long and ran out of time for a listener question but we promise to get a handle on it in the future 🤞
