The holidays often bring family patterns to the surface. In this short episode, I offer a quiet reminder from recovery: when we slow down and see the bigger picture, we create room for compassion, we empower our ability to respond rather than react. 

Time isn’t linear—old wounds, present moments, and future healing can meet right here. Our parents often respond from what was never healed, and when we choose a different response, we begin to change what gets passed on. 

This holiday season remember: most anything anyone does is either an active love or a cry for love. That’s how the soul experiences this life! Embrace acts of love AND authentically, let others know that you need it too. 

This is an invitation to come home to your heart, to the steadiness already within you, and to move through the season with more ease. Happy holidays.
