In this episode, we’re slowing down to talk about care practices. The small, intentional rhythms that help us stay grounded, nourished, and supported as we head into the holidays.

While the to-do lists are getting longer,  the days are actually getting shorter, and many of us are already running on empty, just trying to do more, give more, and be more for everyone around us.

This season doesn’t have to end in exhaustion. By setting up simple, non-negotiable care practices now, we can move through the holidays with more peace, presence, and joy, and truly care for ourselves in the process.

This episode is for you if you’ve ever:

• Felt like the holidays always leave you drained or depleted

• Wanted to be more present but didn’t know how to slow down

• Put everyone else’s needs before your own and felt guilty resting

• Needed permission to make yourself a priority in your home
  

We’ll explore:

• Why your energy naturally slows this time of year, and why that matters

• What care practices really are (and what they’re not)

• How to choose two or three non-negotiable care practices for the season

• Tiny, realistic ideas to support your emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing

• Practical ways to make these practices actually happen, even when you are busy

  
  

Whether you’re already feeling stretched thin or simply want this holiday season to feel calmer and more intentional, this episode will help you reconnect to yourself and create steadiness before the rush begins.

Let’s prepare your head, heart and home for the holidays, not by doing more, but by caring more deeply for yourself.
