Christmas & Divorce: Letting Go of Holiday ‘Shoulds’ When Your Relationship Feels in Limbo

Send us a text Navigating separation, uncertainty, and emotional overload during the holidays — without guilt, shame, or pressure. The holidays are supposed to be a wonderful joyful time of the year. But what if your relationship is falling apart, already over, or hanging by a thread? In this episode, Sallyanne talks honestly about the emotional weight of Christmas when you’re navigating separation, divorce, or deep relationship doubt. We unpack the pressure of holiday “shoulds” - the expectations to keep things cheerful, stay together “for the kids,” or maintain appearances - and offer real talk, validation, and guidance for doing things differently this year. Whether you’re quietly questioning your relationship or deep in the mess of divorce, this episode is here to help you feel less alone and more empowered.
