Yeah, sure. You romanticize the holiday magic every year, then boom! November hits. And you remember how much freakin’ work you do every November and December.

It’s so darn stressful to be the one who’s supposed to create this perfect winter wonderland for your kids that feels effortless and magical.

It’s anything but effortless.

Even when you scale back on things, you’re left with shame and guilt, worrying that your children will be disappointed. (You can practically see them wandering around the house half-awake searching for sugar cookies and pixie dust.)

Your partner is sometimes “helpful,” but only when you give specific, detailed instructions. Which frankly, is more work. It’s easier to just do it yourself.

And when there are extras, like birthdays to factor in? Forget it. It becomes planning overload, especially when Pinterest and Instagram make you feel like you’re supposed to hand sew personalized birthday banners or frost a perfect Elmo cake yourself.

If you want to feel less anxious and stressed about holiday planning, and know it’s unfair that you’re doing this almost single handedly, join me to...

...BUST HOLIDAY OVERWHELM

Date: Tuesday, November 9, 2021

Time: 11:30am-1:00pm ET

Constantly overwhelmed by the endless mental to-do lists
Like you’re the ONLY one who can keep all the plates spinning in your household
Guilt for even complaining about everything you have to do because (of course!) you love your family
Sometimes annoyed that your partner is unworried about all the holiday sh$t that needs to get done - the gifts, the outfits, the school stuff, the wrapping, the cooking - gah!
Jealous that your partner finds it so much easier to relax and scroll their phone on the couch while you fill out fundraiser forms
Judged for not creating the perfect homemade winter wonderland
Worried that your kids will be disappointed if you tap the brakes on holiday stuff AT ALL, and ashamed for wanting to say “no” to anything.

Hey there! I'm Catherine...

When I signed up for a class in college called “Marriage and the Family,” I wasn’t sure what to expect.

But I still remember reading Arlie Hochschild’s The Second Shift and being pretty outraged that women were making gains in the workforce but still doing most of the work at home, too.

It helped fuel my dedication to law, gender studies, and public policy, where I worked as a lawyer and advocate to expand laws that impact women and caregiving, like paid family leave, breastfeeding in the workplace, equal pay, and affordable child care.

While we’ve made some progress, there’s still a ton of work to do - especially on public opinion. We need to change our perceptions of gender roles to make true progress!

I founded Think or Blue as a blog in 2017 when I saw how adults treated my daughter as something pretty to look at, rather than a complicated, active kid. TOB has grown to now offer feminist parenting courses and coaching to raise children who can truly be themselves outside of restrictive gender stereotypes.

If we truly want gender equity for the next generation, we need to start with ourselves. (That's why I created this workshop! 🙂) I’m passionate about feminism, body image, and equal parenting, to pave the way to our children's fulfilling, equitable future.
