The holidays are coming. Family gatherings are being planned, traditions are calling, and everyone seems to expect you to show up and celebrate as usual. But what if sexual betrayal has shattered the life you thought you had? How do you sit across the Thanksgiving table from your husband and pretend everything is okay? What if your family won't even be together this year? How do you create meaningful holidays for your children when you're barely getting through today? In this episode Kristin Cary shares the honest experiences of betrayed women navigating the holidays, including what one woman calls “the performance of normalcy.” You'll discover how to: Release the pressure to recreate the holidays you've always had. Recognize your actual emotional capacity and make choices that honor it. Navigate family gatherings, difficult questions, and triggers without sacrificing your privacy. Prepare for the loneliness and emotional aftermath of holiday events. Make room for grief while remaining open to authentic moments of connection, peace, and joy. You don't have to perform your way through the holidays. And you don't have to figure them out alone. Join Kristin for FREE Holiday Survival Strategies!
