Behavioural psychologist Jo Hemmings joins me for the final episode of the year to explain exactly why Christmas stresses us out so much — and how we can make it easier on ourselves. 

We talk about: 

🎄 Family pressure
 🎁 Gift guilt
 ⏰ Time stress
 😵 Expectation overload
 💬 Why small arguments feel bigger at Christmas
 ✨ And the simple mindset shift that makes the whole season easier 

A short, insightful and incredibly relatable episode to wrap up the year.
