The holidays after divorce can feel like a tidal wave of stress, loneliness, and unrealistic expectations—especially if you’re over 40 and facing your first Christmas solo. In this episode of Divorce Devil Podcast, hosts David and Rachel get raw and real about the myth of the “perfect” holiday after divorce. 🎄

We’ll share personal stories of holiday fails, unexpected joys, and how we ditched the pressure to create Hallmark moments. From dealing with missing traditions to navigating awkward family questions, we break down why “good enough” is the new gold standard for divorced parents.

✨ You’ll discover:

• How to lower expectations and create your own holiday happiness

• Tips for surviving without your kids (and why it’s okay to enjoy the peace!)

• Realistic ways to set boundaries with family & co-parents

• Fun solo traditions and self-gifting ideas

• Why your glow-up is coming—even if it’s messy in the middle

No matter how your holiday looks this year, you’re not alone! Grab your cinnamon rolls (or Twinkies 😜), pour some wine, and let’s celebrate real, imperfect holidays together.
