Summary

In this Christmas special, I sit down with my husband, Vic, for a warm, intimate, and meaningful conversation about the true heart of the holiday season. Together, we reflect on childhood Christmas memories, family traditions, faith, the pressure many feel around the holidays, and how our own views of Christmas have evolved as we’ve grown, blended our families, and navigated life’s changing seasons.

With stories that are both tender and hilarious (including childhood Christmas mischief!), this episode brings together nostalgia, simplicity, spiritual reflection, and the reminder that the greatest gifts aren’t found under the tree, they’re found in the people we love and the moments we cherish.


In this episode, we cover:

  • The childhood traditions and Christmas memories that shaped us
  • The pressure many feel to “recreate” perfect holidays, and why you don’t have to
  • The gifts that truly matter and the beauty of handmade, heartfelt giving
  • The deeper meaning of Christmas through faith and family
  • How the holiday changes as our families grow, shift, and age
  • Why simplicity, gratitude, and presence mean more than ever
  • What we’re wishing for (and praying for) this Christmas
