About this episode
Behavioural psychologist Jo Hemmings joins me for the final episode of the year to explain exactly why Christmas stresses us out so much — and how we can make it easier on ourselves.
We talk about:
🎄 Family pressure
🎁 Gift guilt
⏰ Time stress
😵 Expectation overload
💬 Why small arguments feel bigger at Christmas
✨ And the simple mindset shift that makes the whole season easier
A short, insightful and incredibly relatable episode to wrap up the year.
