Before the season slips by, I’m sending a warm hello from my home to yours. Whether you’ve been reading my emails, connecting on social or a loyal client, I’m truly grateful you’re part of this community.  

And I also want to say this gently: if the holidays feel hard this year, you’re not alone. Whether you’re navigating loss, stress, illness, or a tough season of life, I’m thinking of you, and you matter. 
 
If you’re carrying a lot right now, I don’t want to add more to your plate. Instead I offer one tiny, practical reset that can help you feel a little more steady. 

A tool to use when life feels full

If you’ve been feeling the Holiday pressure, one of my favourite “holiday reset” tools is the 60-second nervous-system reset: Inhale for 4 seconds, exhale for 6 seconds — repeat 5 times.

That longer exhale is a calming signal to your body and will usually slow your heart rate, helping you feel more steadfast and present (even in the middle of a busy day). 

A holiday moment I won’t forget

A few years ago during the holidays, I watched someone in a checkout line quietly pay for the person behind them who came up short. No big announcement, just a simple, “I’ve got it.” 

The whole moment lasted for around 10 seconds…but the feeling of it lasted so much longer. 

It reminded me that holiday “magic” isn’t always the decorations or the perfect plan, magic is found in those small choices that make people feel seen. 

And if you’re the one who needs that kindness this season, I hope you feel it from me through this message. 

As we head toward 2026, I’m excited to keep walking this path with you. We’ll be sharing new tips, resources, and encouragement in our community to help you and your loved ones feel your best, one step at a time. 

Wishing you warmth, peace, and moments of real joy this holiday season.
