Help For the Holidays: Christmas w/out Burnout or Ignoring Grief | Living Well w/ Dee & Jenn | Ep 18

Christmas is here—and with it comes joy, family gatherings, complicated conversations, grief, generosity, and the pressure to “do it all.”

In this heartfelt and deeply practical episode of Living Well with Dee & Jen, Dee Hillman and Jennifer Hammock invite listeners into an honest, faith-centered conversation about how to experience a full and faithful Christmas without losing your peace—or your witness.

Together, they explore what it looks like to:

Keep Christ at the center when family dynamics are complicated

Let your peace speak louder than your opinions

Hold joy and grief at the same time without rushing past either

Practice generosity as a posture, not a performance

Set loving boundaries without guilt

Make room for stillness in the middle of a busy season

Remember that your witness is not about winning arguments, but reflecting Christ

Rooted in Philippians 4:5—“Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.”—this episode offers wisdom, humor, tenderness, and real-life practices for protecting your peace, honoring your emotions, and experiencing the nearness of Christ this Christmas.

Whether you’re navigating family gatherings, missing loved ones, feeling stretched thin, or simply longing for a calmer, Christ-centered season—this conversation is for you.

🎄 May you be generous without exhaustion, honest in your grief, gracious in your relationships, and intentional with your rest.
