REALWITH The Podcast

79. Fa la la la la family dra-ma! Preparing for war or a family holiday? Our nervous system will never know.

Season 4 Episode 79

This episode is one we considered not sharing because maybe it's a little too honest? Maybe it peels back the curtain a little too much? But ultimately we felt like this episode could be a refreshing exhale for those who also feel excited & also exhausted at the thought of going home for the holidays. Because two conflicting feelings can co-exist!

We Dive Into:

  • Elizabeth's 11 day return to Boston for the holidays
  • The hard truth: sipping tea vs. gossiping
  • What a holiday with the Compagna family looks like (hint: chaos)
  • Navigating the whirlwind of social gatherings, family commitments & your own basic needs
  • Emma's first Christmas as a mom & how different she wants it to be
  • Life with ADHD & how it impacts relationships
  • To indulge or not to indulge? How to stay balanced when the wine stays flowing
  • The increase of holiday stress as a first time parent
  • & so much more!

Plus, we circle back to Community Real-Talk, where you can share your own stories for the upcoming “How Are You Really?” episode, or send in questions for Emma, Elizabeth. As always, we’re diving into the complexities of love, relationships, and communication— be a part of it when you submit your stories and questions here!
