This isn’t a pep talk. This is a friendship talk. The kind where you get real about what failure feels like and show up anyway. No makeup, no filter, just me being human. 🎧 In this episode, we’ll talk about: ✔️ Missing the first podcast deadline in a year...

-
Traditions and Self-Care

Reframe the Overwhelm
- Flip “I have to” into “I get to” to reclaim the joy of the season.
- Remember: This time is fleeting. Make it meaningful for YOU.
