Hellooo Christmas, right? This is a tough one. If you’re childless not by choice or struggle with infertility, being around pregnant friends, pregnancy talk, or families with babies and young children, especially around Christmas and the holidays, can feel so daunting. You can love them deeply and still feel like your heart is breaking. In this episode, I’m sharing a gentle warm blanket for those moments:

How I decided whether to go (and how to protect myself if it’s too much)

How I prepared with a letter to myself (so my highest self could guide me)

What to do when the body goes into panic: grounding + nervous system support

A creative exercise for the deeper belief underneath the pain (the “inner part” that shows up)

And one unconventional mindset tool for the “I want what they have” spiral (only if it fits where you are right now)

If this is you today: you are welcome here. And if the kindest choice is to step back and protect your heart, that is okay too.

I hope you are doing well, I hope you take care of yourself and your heart.

Sending you much love,

Bettina
