Welcome to Season 2 of UnFILLtered: Hygge for the Holidays! This season, Maggie dives deep into the Danish concept of hygge—a way of creating comfort, connection, and simple joy—while navigating the emotional challenges of the holidays after divorce. Through the lens of her experience as a single mom and divorcee, she explores all ten hygge principles, sharing two in each episode to help bring more peace and presence to a season that can feel overwhelming.
In this first episode, Maggie unpacks the hygge principles of togetherness and equality, showing how they can soften holiday stress, ease co-parenting conflict, and transform feelings of grief or loss into meaningful moments of connection. She discusses redefining holiday traditions, releasing the pressure of celebrating on exact dates, and letting go of comparison when children move between homes—important mindset shifts for anyone navigating shared custody, blended families, or holiday grief.
Maggie also opens up about the first Christmas she ever missed with her kids, a pivotal moment that reshaped the way she approaches the holidays. Her story offers a compassionate look at rebuilding peace, healing after separation, and creating new forms of holiday joy even in difficult seasons.
Filled with honesty, emotional insight, and practical reflection, this episode is a grounding guide for embracing hygge during the holidays. Whether you're managing co-parenting schedules, moving through loss, or simply craving more calm and connection, Maggie’s journey is a reminder that togetherness can happen on any day—and contentment is possible, even in life’s most complicated chapters.
