Ep. 300 - Day 6: Feeling Like an Outsider After Divorce | Christmas Cards & Comparison

Today's convo is about a specific kind of holiday pain after divorce...
the Christmas cards knowing exactly how to **send you.

The smiling families.
The matching outfits.
The quiet comparison that starts to creep in and makes you feel like you no longer belong to the world you used to be part of.

In this episode, Joy and I talk about:

• Why Christmas cards trigger comparison so deeply after divorce
• How performance culture keeps women disconnected from themselves
• The grief of rebuilding your life in truth while others appear “settled”
• Why comparison pulls you off your own healing path
• What it means to shift from me vs. them to me vs. me
• Why becoming yourself can feel lonelier before it feels better

We also offer a simple, creative practice for working with the cards themselves...not from bitterness, but from transformation (well maybe a little from bitterness) as a way to reclaim your power and your perspective.

This episode isn’t about pretending the comparison doesn’t hurt.
It’s about choosing not to let it delay your becoming.

If the Christmas cards have been making you feel like an outsider this season, come hang with us!
