171. End the Year Soft Instead of Strong: What Moms Actually Need Right Now
Description
Are you feeling the weight of December in your bones, like you're supposed to make everything magical while barely keeping up yourself? This time of year can feel overwhelming, and many of us slip into the belief that we have to end the year strong. But what if you shifted the narrative and chose to end the year soft instead?
In this mini jolt, Whitney opens up about a pattern she's noticed in herself: how stress tends to amplify old, self-sabotaging tendencies. She shares a practical way to interrupt those patterns and bring awareness to the moments when overwhelm starts to spiral. Then she dives into the mindset shift that's changed everything for her: ending the year soft rather than strong. Whitney talks about the kinder, more intentional choices she's been making for herself and her family this holiday season, and how you can, too.
If you've been feeling stretched thin or overcommitted, this episode will feel like an invitation to pause, breathe, and recalibrate. Tune in now and give yourself the soft landing you deserve this season.
