My kids are absolutely obsessed with advent calendars. Prying open those tiny windows each day to reveal a little treat—maybe chocolate, or a crystal, or a (shudder) Pokémon card—has become a cherished ritual in our house. That moment of surprise, that spark of delight… it builds anticipation and creates a little moment of joy each day.

It got me thinking: what if we borrowed this idea for self-care? Could we unwrap a tiny treat for ourselves each day to balance the frenetic energy of the silly season without adding to the overwhelm?

December is a wild ride — diaries packed with rehearsals, gatherings, work wrap-ups, family logistics, and the invisible labour of making the holiday magic happen. As the lists multiply and the calendar fills to bursting, I wanted a way to support you that didn’t require another big commitment.

Enter: The Self-Care Advent Calendar.

24 days of small, delightful, restorative treats — meditation, movement, simple practices and prompts, all under 10 minutes. Little self-care windows that create space, restore the senses, and cultivate quiet moments without piling more onto our plates.

Each offering is intentionally tiny. Miss a day? Totally fine. Like a real advent calendar, the treat will still be waiting for you whenever you’re ready.

This gentle countdown is meant to be a gift you give yourself — low pressure, high vibe.

ALSO this month, you’ll also meet two incredible guest teachers inside the app:
✨ from .retreats
✨ .acupuncture
Both are sharing brand-new practices that weave beautifully into the Advent experience.

My gift to you ❤️
The Self-Care Advent Calendar is completely free for members.
Already in the squad? (LOVE YOU HEAPS!) You can sign up right inside the app.

Not a member yet? Consider this your invitation to gift yourself a little December nourishment:
✨ 7-day free trial
✨ 50% off Monthly or Annual Membership — for life
Use code JOY50 and explore the Advent Calendar + the full library of practices without pressure.

You deserve a season that feels spacious, supportive, and soul-centered.
I can’t wait to share this magical month with you. Link in my profile.

Big love,

Sometimes we get confused and disconcerted by emptiness. We think it’s a waiting room, a
wasted space on our way somewhere else. We believe emptiness and quiet are somehow
devoid of their own value and meaning. But here’s the thing: the void is not devoid of
meaning and richness. The void is an invitation into the energy of withdrawal, rest and
emptying out. It’s a valuable phase to be honoured and embraced.

So if you’re feeling frustrated or uncertain or confused or overwhelmed by a space or
emptiness in your life, that is perfect. Embrace it.

When you don’t know what comes next, but you know you’re done with the way things
are – when you’re in the void, sitting with the emptiness – ride that energy! Shed, shake, slip
out of a skin, say ‘no’, say ‘goodbye’, scrub away, slough, scrap, separate, strike out and
slash away what no longer serves.

Audit and edit your life – your space, closet, thoughts, habits, relationships and
commitments – and identify what just ain’t your jam anymore. Cut the s**t. Carve out space.
Consciously say ‘no’. Start nothing new.

Dive into the fertile void; the emptiness and spaciousness of creative potential. Trust
that what’s coming is coming. Trust the presiding, orchestrating, universal cadence of life/
death/life. For now, just kick it in the void.

Stop calling it a waiting room and start seeing it as a sacred space for rest and
reflection. Surrender to the state of promise; sit with trust and the willingness to be surprised.
It’s all coming. It’s all happening. New life is on its way. But first … the fertile void. Don’t
wait impatiently. Be with it.

CULTIVATE CONFIDENCE, MOTIVATION & POSITIVITY 🔥

This month in the app, we’re focusing on cultivating confidence, motivation, and positivity. Many of the featured practices in the app this month focus on the navel centre and on invoking the qualities of fire, suns and starlight. Read on for a little bit of the “why” behind these practices!

In the Himalayan Ta***ic tradition, the navel is regarded as a powerful energy center, deeply connected to our sense of self, personal power, and transformation. It governs not only the digestive system but also our ability to digest and assimilate emotional and mental experiences.

The navel is the seat of Agni, or the inner fire, which fuels our motivation, inspiration, and sense of direction in life. In Ta***ic practices, this fire is seen as essential for inner alchemy—turning raw experiences, whether positive or negative, into wisdom and strength. This not only boosts self-esteem but also enhances our ability to assert our will in the world, to manifest our desires, and to remain resilient in the face of challenges.

By consciously working with this center, we can overcome inertia and fear, transforming doubt into self-belief, hesitation into motivation, and negativity into positivity and tap into a wellspring of confidence that helps us move through life with courage and conviction, aligned with our highest potential.

Step-by-step process to evolve:

1. Breakdown
2. Breakthrough.

Transformation is not a lukewarm, part-time hobby you dabble in. Your growth, your personal evolution, is a process of creative destruction, not a casual pastime.

No matter how many self-help books you read or weekend workshops you attend, no matter how many times you go to yoga in a week, the truth is: you have to be willing to evolve.

Being willing to evolve means that you are willing to sacrifice yourself at the altar of transformation. You must be willing to break down; willing to do the hard work of telling your truth; willing to see things differently; willing to be consumed by the process; willing to be devoured by the fires of transformation; willing to be a hot mess, at least for a minute. You must be willing to be temporarily dismantled, to feel lost, to breakdown. You must be willing to sacrifice the way you are for who you can become; for the person you will be.

Your need to evolve presses itself against the boundaries you’ve constructed around who you think you are. It’s uncomfortable at best, and often painfully confronting. But there is beauty in the breakdown. You’ll only break through when you’ve surrendered to the process; when you’ve scrubbed yourself red and raw, clean of half-truths; when you’ve given shame the cold shoulder and told the truth about how you feel, what you’re afraid of and what you want.

Remember this: your need for transformation is the transformative aspect itself. It’s a call from the very seat of your soul that rings through your cells, beckoning you to become – to become more of who you are.

Just like how stars are born, the evolution of our selves happens under pressure and then explodes exquisitely across the landscape of our lives.

Breakdown. Breakthrough.

The beauty is on the other side.

Sometimes it’s hard to say ‘yes’. Sometimes it’s hard to say ‘no’.

Choices can come coupled with uncertainty. Sometimes you sit in the dark, wondering what to do next. Sometimes you weep at providence’s feet, begging for a set of ordained instructions or a map to your destiny.

Sometimes the sign you’re waiting for isn’t coming. Sometimes the heavens won’t deliver a solution or an answer or a miracle. Sometimes you just have to make a decision, have a hard conversation or take a leap of faith.

Choice is difficult by design, because it’s a crossroads: an intersection of options that can escalate into a crisis of uncertainty.

But whatever the choice, these things are true: you already know the right choice for you; and freedom is on the other side of the choice.

So don’t be held hostage by hesitation. Choose – no matter how robust the resistance seems – because the nature of progress is moving through resistance. Then liberate yourself by committing to the choice and wherever it takes you next.

Challenging choices are presented not to bury you, but to elevate you – to strengthen your resolve, to clarify your aim and to refine your fluency in the language of your instincts. Committing to your choice is a doorway into the future. A choice is a call to dive through the resistance, commit to what’s next and rise up to meet it. So make that damn choice. You got this. Freedom is on the other side.

If there is something you're resisting, take note: whatever you are resisting is probably a pathway to your full potential. The greater the resistance, the greater the opportunity. The role of resistance is to keep you in the known, where you feel safe and comfortable.

Nonetheless, resistance is an important messenger. You just need to learn to interpret the signals correctly.

When you notice resistance pop up (it looks like procrastination, self-doubt, self-sabotage, seeking out distractions, waffling and hesitating), pay attention. Look it in the eye.

But instead of interpreting it as a bad sign (‘This isn’t the right thing’ or ‘Maybe the timing isn’t right’ or ‘I guess I’m not really cut out for this’ or ‘See, I’m not good enough’), start to see it as a great sign. Resistance isn’t a sign that you should stop. It’s a sign that you should go. It’s a signal that you’re on to something.

Resistance tells you that whatever stands before you is a bona fide opportunity. A call for expansion. A shot at showing up and shining in a wonderful new way. Resistance is a beacon, guiding you towards actualising everything you are capable of: your full potential.

So when you next notice resistance pop up, don’t back down. Give yourself the go-ahead. Stop wasting all that energy dancing around the fire of resistance and instead, walk through it. Let the flames burn away your doubt and fear. What will be left is the truth of you: limitless possibility, boundless will, courageous action.

Once you break through the seal of resistance, the rest is easy. You’ll be unstoppable. And when resistance shows up again, you’ll know what to do: break through. Moving through resistance is a muscle. Every time you choose to walk through resistance, you melt another layer of self-doubt and build your strength and resolve. You up-level. You progress. You get closer to your highest self.

So my friend, stop letting resistance run your s**t. Bite the bullet. Sketch it out. Make the call. Write the words. Press ‘send’. Raise your hand. Start the damn thing. Finish the damn thing.

Because you are bigger than the resistance you feel. And your full potential is waiting on the other side. 🔥
