68. 🎅 You’re Allowed to Be Done — Even at Christmas

What if the calm you felt last Christmas wasn’t a fluke — but a clue?

In this episode, Jane responds to a listener who accidentally lost her Christmas list… and felt calmer than she ever had in December. Not because she stopped caring — but because the mental load finally dropped.

This conversation explains why ADHD mums hit capacity faster at Christmas, why letting go feels terrifying, and why you’re allowed to be done even when the list never ends.
