🎨 My hubby and I painted "The Yellow House" slate gray/blue during the pandemic.  It may have gotten a facelift, but no matter what, it will always be the yellow house. And guess what?

☃️Feeling like the holidays are less “holly jolly” and more “hustle and hurry”? You’re not alone. Between endless to-do lists, packed calendars, and the pressure to make everything picture-perfect, December can feel anything but peaceful.

But what if this year could be different? What if you could find calm amid the chaos? I am convinced that with a little attention to it (don't worry - this won't take long!) that we can find at least one Silent Night this month.

  In this episode, we’re chatting practical and actionable ways to de-stress your December, so you can actually enjoy the holidays.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

🎄 The Time Blocking Strategy: Why trying to fit everything in doesn’t work—and how holiday time blocking gives you the freedom to focus on what matters most this season.

✨ Self-Care Rituals to Manage Stress: Not JUST face masks and bubble baths (although I can use one of those right about now - can't you?), but simple, intentional practices to calm your mind and bring peace to the holiday chaos.  Imagine - 3 minutes to yourself every morning and every night - it's possible!

⏳ Creating a Support System: Why building a team of helpers—whether it’s family, friends, or hired hands—can transform your to-do list from “impossible” to “manageable."

🤝 A Weekly “Holiday Wind-Down” Ritual: The secret to avoiding burnout before the year ends—how carving out time for yourself every Sunday night will help you recharge and actually enjoy the holidays... especially since we don't plan on Sundays any more!

This isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing less, better. If you’re ready to reclaim the joy of the season and ditch the overwhelm, this episode is for you.

Press play and let’s make this a December to remember—for all the right reasons.

🦃 Thanksgiving marks the beginning of a holiday season that's as full as our dinner plates (pass me the cornbread, dressing and pie)! But how do you balance all the demands on your time without feeling overwhelmed? Let's talk the power of saying NO—and how setting boundaries NOW can set the tone for a more peaceful and meaningful holiday season.

What We’ll Cover in this episode: 

Reframe the “No”: Saying no isn’t selfish; it’s an act of self-care. Learn how to prioritize what lights you up and let go of unnecessary obligations, using real-life examples and practical tips.

Holiday “No’s” List: From declining extra events to simplifying gift-giving and decorating, we’ll highlight ways to trim the holiday overwhelm and focus on what your family really remembers and treasures.

Create Your Non-Negotiable Yes List: Identify your holiday must-haves—the people, moments, and traditions that matter most—and make those your focus as the year winds down.

How to Say No Gracefully: Get equipped with polite yet firm ways to decline. Whether it’s an event, a favor, or a tradition, you’ll learn how to set boundaries without guilt.

This Thanksgiving season, let’s use “no” to say “yes” to the things that bring joy, peace, and purpose. And stay tuned—we’re gearing up for an amazing Yes-Cember series!

🎁Today is a gift.. that's why we call it the PRESENT.  But what if you feel like life is rushing by, leaving you with little time to savor the gift of today?

I get it.  And that's why when one day, as I was scrolling on Instagram (I know, I know!), something in a friend's stories stopped me in my tracks.  It was my always inspiring friend, Jamie, who was posting about the concept of  how to "Polish the Present."  And I knew she was onto something.  Not only did I become more intentional in making the most of my daily moments, but I wanted to learn more from her on what this can really look like for all of us.

In this episode, we explore practical and simple ways to bring joy, calm, and beauty to our everyday lives. Jamie opens up about how to transform daily routines into meaningful rituals, from appreciating a quiet cup of tea - yes, her famous TEA TIME - to even taking a minute to watch how the sun shines through a kitchen window amid a busy morning.

Our conversation is filled with insights on building a life that's about more than just productivity—it's about purpose and peace. And Jamie freely shares her FOUR favorite methods for making each day feel richer, fuller, and more connected to what matters.

Whether you're seeking to slow down, avoid burnout, or simply embrace the beauty of right now, this episode will guide you toward a balanced and fulfilling rhythm.

Ready to unlock the power of presence? Press play, and let’s get started!
