Why Moms ARE the Holiday Season | The Anti-Overwhelm Holiday Series
In this first episode of The Anti-Overwhelm Holiday Series, host Vanessa De Jesus Guzman, licensed therapist and mom coach, pulls back the tinsel to talk about the truth many won’t say out loud: moms don’t get a holiday season… we run it.
From meal planning and gift shopping to managing family expectations and keeping the “magic” alive, the invisible load moms carry this time of year is real — and exhausting. Vanessa explores the cultural layers behind that pressure, why it’s not your fault, and how you can soften the load without losing the traditions you love.
This is the conversation every mom needs before the holiday rush starts.
TUNE IN TO LEARN
- Why the “holiday magic” we celebrate often comes at moms’ expense
- How culture and family expectations add pressure to “do it all”
- The difference between meaningful traditions and draining obligations
- Five small shifts to protect your peace this season
- Simple, mindful ways to set boundaries with love — and without guilt
TAKEAWAY MESSAGE
You don’t need to do it all to make the season meaningful. As we move into the holidays, choose peace over perfection, rest over rush, and presence over pressure. The holidays don’t need a hero, they just need you, whole, rested, and present.
