A simpler kind of holiday joy
|
Hey Reader, I’m finishing up my homemade gifts today—brownie mix in jars, homemade vanilla extract, taco seasoning, and hot cocoa with homemade marshmallows. I know that might sound like a lot. But as I sat at the kitchen table this morning, cutting out gift tags, I realized how little time I spent shopping this year. And because of that, I had time to make these gifts slowly, to enjoy the process, and to look forward to delivering them between now and New Year’s Day. In years past, we’d pack everything into the car and drive around like Santa and drop off surprises to people we love. I still love doing that. But now, there’s more breathing room. The pace is slower. There’s no tight schedule, just joy in the making and the giving. How will you slow down and savor the holidays this year? I’d really love to hear. Happy Holidays! |

They talk themselves out of it before they’ve even taken the first step. I see this all the time in women who want to start their own business but feel like...
Hey Reader, I just recorded a new YouTube video where I share my real approach to setting goals for 2026 and why this year, I’m focusing on less but better. But here’s the twist:Before I set a single goal, I did this first…I reviewed my entire 2025 month-by-month. (Zeke helped 😉) That calendar audit revealed more wins (and lessons) than I expected. And it completely shaped how I’m moving into this new year. In the video, I share: ✅ My secret reflection ritual I’ve used for 3 years ✅ Why most...
Hey Reader, Can I be honest? I’m breathing a little sigh of relief now that the holidays are winding down. Yes, I know New Year’s Eve is tomorrow—but the most intense part of the season is behind us. Thankfully, tomorrow I'll be on the couch watching football. 😉 Because this year, it was just… heavier. Maybe you felt that too. Maybe, like our family, you were grieving someone who wasn’t at the table this Christmas. The first one is no joke. I’ve talked to so many others who’ve said the...
