A free online gathering for those spending Christmas without family (or wanting to). You don't have to do Christmas alone.
If you grew up with childhood trauma, Christmas can feel complicated. Lonely. Heavy. Triggering.
As entrepreneurs, we're used to putting on a brave face and getting through any challenges — but the truth is, many of us wake up on Christmas morning feeling disconnected.
This year, instead of thinking you are the only one, connect with like minded people who are also planning to spend Christmas without Family.
What This Space Is
A gentle, supportive community of entrepreneurs who understand what it's like to carry a tough past into the festive season.

✨ This space is hosted by Carina McFarlane, mindset coach for entrepreneurs with childhood trauma. My mission is to help you stop self-sabotaging, release old patterns, and create the life and business you know is possible.
Christmas doesn't have to be something you face alone. Whether this is your first time reaching out or you've been searching for your tribe for years, you belong here.
This community exists because healing happens in connection, and you don't have to navigate a complex family dynamic over the festive season without support.
