In this episode, we slow down and reconnect with what truly matters during the Christmas season. With the world moving quickly — shopping lists, expectations, schedules, and pressure — it’s easy to lose sight of the heart behind the holidays.

I’m sharing two simple but meaningful stories from my own family:

• the Green Acres DVDs my kids used to race to the mailbox for

• our little Christmas Cookie Party tradition, where the cookies matter less than the connection

These moments remind us that the most lasting memories aren’t about gifts or perfection — they’re about presence. Connection. Laughter. Quiet traditions. The things that truly shape our families.

Together, we explore:

• why simple traditions matter more than “stuff”

• how to choose presence over presents

• what our children remember most

• how to create a calmer, more meaningful Christmas season rooted in intention and love

If you’re craving peace and perspective in the holiday rush, this episode will feel like a deep exhale.
