    Reclaiming Christmas / Overcoming Burnout

    Send us a text In this episode, Katie Gierke discusses the phenomenon of Christmas burnout, particularly among women, and explores the pressures and expectations that contribute to this feeling. She emphasizes the importance of returning to the true meaning of the season, advocating for a shift from hustle and perfection to peace and presence. Through personal anecdotes and practical advice, Katie encourages listeners to redefine their holiday experiences, prioritize connection over performance, and find joy in simplicity. Takeaways Every woman feels Christmas burnout but rarely talks about it. The role of 'CEO of Christmas' is overwhelming and unfulfilling. Hustle culture detracts from the true meaning of the season. Women are not designed to be machines; we are image bearers. Burnout leads to resentment and steals joy. The pressure to create a perfect holiday is self-imposed. Redefining what is holy can transform the holiday experience. Building intentional margin in December is essential for peace. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Creating sacred moments can bring back the joy of the season. Make sure to follow up on social media! @invisiblestringspodcast
