In this week’s episode, Melissa, Jill, and Kelly settle in for a cozy (and sometimes emotional) holiday chat. The moms dive into the chaos of preparing for Christmas and wanting to be wherever their kids are. Melissa opens up about the lingering PTSD she’s been facing after the traumatic loss of her dog, sharing how grief can unexpectedly shape this season. Kelly admits the shift into winter has her feeling extra tired and sluggish—because when it gets dark at 4:30, who isn’t ready for bed? And Jill, of course, tries to keep everyone on track while still navigating her own holiday to-dos and trying to avoid getting sick. The trio also tackles one of the season’s trickiest questions: What on earth do you gift the everyday heroes in your life—your mail carrier, hairstylist, nail tech, teachers, and everyone in between?
