S4_E6 How to survive Christmas

Christmas in midlife is not a Hallmark movie.

It’s three family lunches in one day, a group chat on fire, 47 “last chance” sales emails, and somehow you’ve become the caterer, the Uber driver, the therapist and the bank. Again.

In this Christmas special of Midlife Wealth Revolution, Phoebe breaks down why this time of year is such a pressure cooker for women in midlife – and how you can do it differently.

She explores how old family roles, money wounds and expectations collide in December, and gives you a practical, grounded plan to protect your money, your energy and your future without turning into the Grinch.

Inside this episode, you’ll hear about:

• What really sits underneath the family fights, money tension and silent resentment at Christmas

• How financial pressure, “helping out” and unequal treatment between siblings can turn into full-blown money wounds

• Why adults don’t need another useless gift, and how to shift from performative spending to meaningful, low-cost giving

• How to stop being the unpaid Christmas project manager and start sharing the emotional, financial and practical load

• A simple Christmas money plan you can map out in ten minutes so you don’t roll into January broke, exhausted and furious

This episode is your permission slip to say no, set limits and build a Christmas that works for you too – not just everyone else.

If you’ve been working on your money this year, this is where you hold the line.

Because you are not the family ATM. You are not the default caterer and clean-up crew. You are a woman in midlife building real wealth, and that includes how you handle December.
