Christmas Collab | LQ034

Love Quirks

Are you running the holidays or are the holidays running you? If you’ve ever felt like the personal assistant of your relationship—managing schedules, planning meals, and magically ensuring everyone’s holiday joy—this episode is for you. It’s so easy for couples to fall into that trap, where one person takes on the mental load while the other gets to enjoy the festivities. But here’s the good news: collaboration is possible! It just takes recognizing that we don’t all come into relationships with the same skills—and that’s okay.

We’ll talk about building skills together, letting go of gatekeeping tasks (yes, you can teach your partner to make the turkey), and relaxing our standards so good enough feels like magic. Plus, I’ll remind you to skip the comparison game and create your own authentic Love Space—quirks and all. You don’t need a Martha Stewart Christmas to have a meaningful one. Let’s collaborate, love, and celebrate in a way that works for you!
