This week's episode is a personal one — a holiday reflection I didn't expect to record but absolutely needed to.

It starts in my kitchen, making hot chocolate for my kids, Bing Crosby playing, the tree lit up across the room… and realizing I didn't feel a single ounce of Christmas magic. Not one spark. Even though everything around me looked perfect.

In this episode, I unpack the truth I uncovered — a quiet holiday epiphany that led me straight to my inner child and the part of me still longing for Christmas to feel the way it used to.

Inside, I share:

✨ Why Christmas feels so different as an adult (especially as a mom)✨ How moving to a new state and rebuilding community has shifted everything✨ What my inner child needed me to finally understand

If this season feels different for you — less sparkly, more emotional, more complicated — you're not alone. This episode is an invitation to honor where you are, release the pressure to recreate past versions of the holiday, and notice the tiny moments where magic still finds its way in.
