Ashlyn welcomes a very special guest to the podcast—her sister, Noel, a licensed counsellor in Canada—for an honest, grounded conversation about the emotional weight of the holidays. Together, they reflect on their shared history growing up and living together, how those early dynamics still show up today, and why family gatherings can bring up more than just nostalgia.They dive into common holiday triggers, the pressure of traditions, and how “doing it all” often leads straight to mom guilt and burnout. Noel brings her professional lens to the conversation, offering practical insight on setting and maintaining boundaries, while Ashlyn shares the real-life side of navigating expectations, roles, and relationships.This episode is about getting clear on your why, choosing what actually matters, and giving yourself permission to do the holidays differently—without guilt. Thoughtful, relatable, and deeply human, this one feels like a conversation you didn’t know you needed.Noel’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/counsellingwithnoel?igsh=cDZ3NWJuendtMXAy@counsellingwithnoel-About Ashlyn-Ashlyn Gunderson is a mom, wife, business owner, life-long learner, and lover of all things words.
