🎄 Welcome to The Life of Bryony – the podcast that explores life’s messier moments. MY GUESTS THIS WEEK: MY FAMILY This week, I’m joined by my family for a festive special. That’s right, I’ve interviewed film stars, royalty, and Spice Girls, but nothing compares to sitting down with my mum, dad, and brother to unpack the beautiful chaos of Christmas. We talk about what makes this time of year both magical and stressful—family dynamics, the pressure to create the ‘perfect’ holiday, and the reality of how old traditions evolve. From nostalgic stockings to a legendary 2015 Christmas meltdown involving goose fat and a power cut, no topic is off-limits. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the demands of the season, this episode is for you. It’s a reminder that family Christmases are rarely picture-perfect—and that’s okay.
