Today's episode is an open letter to December about magic, stress, the pressure to have a perfect holiday, loneliness, and the joy of the holiday season. After a really hard day, I needed to clear the runway so that I could walk into the Christmas season with open eyes and an open heart... to fully experience the Christmas magic. Whether this season is full of happiness or you're struggling or dealing with a little bit of both, you're not alone.. this is your reminder. 

"December is a month that is rife with nostalgia. If there's anything deep in your heart that you want to keep buried, you can count on December to bring it to the surface." -Lois Duncan

Today, I'm chatting about being an introvert, what it means, and what it's like for introverts during the busy, crowded, loud holiday season. But, extrovert friends, don't go anywhere, this will be beneficial to everyone. Introverts are commonly very misunderstood, so whether you're an introvert or you have someone close to you who is, hopefully this will help guide you though the holidays and help you understand each other just a little bit more.

Do you need a little boost to go after that dream? Do you keep telling yourself you don't want something when deep down you do? Today we're taking a trip through my journey of being completely miserable in the corporate world, to finally letting myself go after my dreams of being a content creator. I hope this episode encourages you to keep dreaming and to not give up when life gets messy.
