We talk about Christmas, goal-setting, and why reflection matters — but the conversation quickly turns into a deeper discussion on why women often carry the brunt of the emotional and domestic work, especially during holidays. Topics include: • End-of-year reflection & realistic goal setting • Why women create most of the “holiday magic” • Emotional labour in relationships & households • Thoughtful vs thoughtless gift-giving • Why appreciation shouldn’t wait for Valentine’s Day • Being present for your partner & family • Capitalism, holidays & relationship expectations This episode is honest, reflective, and necessary — especially for anyone navigating modern relationships and trying to do better.
