The holidays come with so much pressure to make everything look perfect, especially when every scroll shows someone else’s flawless tablescape, matching PJs, and color-coordinated tree.
But here’s the truth no one posts: real life is messy.
Kids spill things. Plans change. The cute recipe flops. The table looks… fine, not festive-magazine-cover perfect.
And none of that actually matters.
Your people won’t remember the napkin folds, the curated aesthetic, or whether the cookies were from scratch.
They’ll remember how you made them feel calm, present, connected, and actually there with them.
Tip #4 of The Good Girl’s Guide to the Holidays: Let go of perfection. It won’t all be perfect… and it doesn’t need to be.
🫶🏼 Release the pressure. Show up imperfectly. Choose presence over performance every single time.
