Avoid The Super-Woman Trap at Christmas * How to Make Money Online in December

The tree lights are twinkling. The Christmas cookies are baking. The peppermint candy cane mochas are flowing. And somehow, you still feel ten steps behind.

December is supposed to be ✨ magical. But for women trying to build a business or side hustle from home? It can feel like pure pressure.

Let’s talk about the elephant in the glittery room: Trying to make extra money online in December while juggling it all; being "it all" can be exhausting.

Especially if you're wearing the SuperWoman Cape doing everything for everyone, trying to make Christmas perfect.. doubly tiring.. Burnt Christmas cookies are no fun .. and neither is women like you and I being burn out ..

This is a moment to breath and take in my insights of WHY taking on the role of "SuperWoman" is actually detrimental in your money maker and some tips and shift to gain momentum, increase your income and joy this holiday season..

🎁 Pajamas, peppermint mochas & peace: what if this December could look (and pay) a little differently?

1. Superwoman Energy Can Scare People Off

Here’s what no one tells you: When we're showing up online like a polished, power-packed shining powerhouse…

Some women might admire you. Sure.

But they’re also quietly thinking: “I could never do all that.” .. Having them wonder if they could..

There is that fine tipping point when you’re not inspiring them.. you’re intimidating them.

They don’t want to compete. They don’t even want to try. Especially in December, when they're already burnt out from decorating, Christmas cookie swaps, budgeting, and trying to wrap presents at midnight without the kids seeing.

They want to connect with someone real. Someone who stumbles, pauses, and keeps going. Someone who makes money online in December without pretending to have it all together.

🎄 I remember snapping a photo of my planner once.. sticky notes everywhere, glitter from wrapping paper stuck to the page with coffee cup stains all over the pages, with my chipped nail polished finger tips.. That post? Got the most comments all year.

🔔Tip: Show more "real life" in your business. The messier the better. Raw. Real. Relatable. Share the Christmas chaos. Missed messages. Lessons learned. You’ll attract women who feel safe and seen.. and those are the ones who stay.

2. It’s Not Duplicatable

Let me say this gently but clearly: If you’re the glue holding everything together…

You’ve just become your team’s glass ceiling.

When your circle sees you doing everything (and doing it oh so very well), they stop trying to figure out how they can do it. They just copy, continue to lean on you… or give up.

💡 "Me too" Moment: I used to feel proud when people said, "You're amazing, I don't know how you do it all!" But inside? I was tired. I didn't feel amazing. And outside? No one was duplicating it.

What your team needs isn’t your superpowers. Nor your SuperWoman persona. They need your systems. Your simple repeatable steps. They need to see how you earn income over the Christmas holidays with peace, not panic.

3. It’s a One-Way Ticket to Burnout

I don’t care how "tough", "committed" or "driven" you are. Running on empty catches up eventually.

I’ve been there… sitting in my living room, the Christmas tree glowing, the lights blurry because of the tears in my eyes.. Wondering why I wasn’t feeling fulfilled, I didn't feel the magic of Christmas ☃️even though I was experiencing great "success."

The fir and pine forest scented candle was burning, snuggled on the couch with a hot cocoa in my hands, and yet I felt more disconnected than ever.. like I was watching my life instead of living it.

I missed family moments. I missed myself.

Making extra money in December was supposed to bring freedom. But the way I was building? It was just another cage.

🍬 December reminds us that magic lives in the margins.. in the quiet moments of cocoa, cookies & cuddles, not the chaos.

4. You Rob Your Team of Growth Opportunities

When you've donned your SuperWoman cape .. you do it all, you rob others of their "figure it out and win" moments.

Letting someone else struggle a bit isn’t mean. It provides a learning moment.. It’s mentoring.

Every time you solve it for them, provide everything under the sun, you delay their transformation. You rob them of the joy of saying, “I did it.” That moment of joy, of self empowerment and giddy giggle of happiness!

🎄This Christmas, give your team the gift of opportunity. Don’t just lead.. invite them to lead. Empower. Encourage. Step back, have their back so they can step forward in confidence.

5. It Creates Quiet Comparison (The Confidence Killer)

Your pace, your content, your vibe.. especially during the holidays can sometimes make others feel behind before they even begin.

We’ve all felt it. That moment of: “She’s ahead of me. I must be doing something wrong.”

👏 Instead, lead with empathy. Share what’s taken you longer than expected. Talk about what didn’t work first. Women deeply connect with pains, 🥺problems, trials and tribulations.. We don't want to feel like "we're alone" in the mess! Don't keep your past struggles to yourself.. they are not only teaching moments, they are connection moments. Mention the blog post that flopped, or the Pinterest pin that tanked.

That’s what makes women over 40 (and youthful grandma's like me) lean in. They want to know the sucky parts more than the sunshine success story you walk today. That’s what makes your content a warm hug instead of a performance.

6. You Might Be Teaching Hustle Instead of Heart

Every choice you make teaches your audience something.

If you always reply instantly, they think they have to be available 24/7.

If you never delegate, never ask for help, talk about the tools, systems you use to alleviate the work load, they think outsourcing is weakness.

If you glorify exhaustion during the holidays, they think success = self-sacrifice.

Let’s rewrite that script.

✅ Try this: The next time you pause for a snowy walk, share it. “Logging off to watch a Hallmark movie with my grandkids. Growth requires joy, too.”

That’s leadership that leaves a legacy.

That snowy evening, my granddaughter handed me a cookie she decorated herself. I almost missed it because I was answering a DM. Never again.

7. You’re Blocking Their Brilliance

When you "do it all" in your sparkling WonderWoman cape.. taking center stage all the time, others are thinking they don’t belong on it. That they 'res no room for them.

That’s not what women like you and I want. We want everyone shining during this season of sparkle.

We need to make space for their "wins" and make that space known to all. We want more women speaking up, co-creating, building their online business in pajamas with fuzzy socks, ☕cocoa in hand, twinkling lights and Christmas tree ornaments behind them.

Their brilliance looks different than yours… and with that comes the magic.

Give it room.

8. You Delay Your Own Freedom

This one stings.

The longer you carry everything under your SuperWoman cape, the longer you’ll stay stuck in the cycle.

Want to earn extra income for Christmas without being glued to your phone, working 14-hour days, or answering customer messages while wrapping stocking stuffers?

It starts with letting go.

Ask for help. Discover who else might want to make team or business graphics? Explore who else would love to drop some hot tips in a team Facebook live in your group. Let your community know when you step away for a family event and you will be surprised at all the amazing talented women who will step forward when you step back .. ✨

Delegate. Systemize. Digitize. Tools. Automations.

That’s how I started making real progress with digital marketing for beginners. I realized I didn’t need to be everywhere or know everything. I just needed a repeatable plan and a digital product that sold itself with simple systems that took care of the heavy lifting and time sinks that sometimes a online business brings..

💡 PS — One of the simplest ways I started creating momentum again? Pinterest.
I stopped trying to fight with algorithms and started sharing content in a place built for search, not scrolling. Within weeks, I saw more leads, community growth, and sales conversions .. without the social media burnout. If you haven’t peeked into how Pinterest can work for you yet… now’s the perfect time.

9. You’re Believing the Lie That Making Money Online Has to Be Complicated

I used to believe I had to master Instagram, do 30 reels, host lives, and post twice a day everywhere. "Thought I had to work hard for my money"

But peace came when I realized: I could pick one platform, one product, and one plan.. and that was enough.

This December, less really is more. Simpler strategies are often the most sustainable ones.

Especially for women in their 40s, 50s & beyond, we crave peace and purpose.. not pressure.

You don't need to be a tech wizard or social media queen to make extra income online this Christmas. Just a little guidance, some focus, and a plan that respects your season of life.
