The holidays can bring joy—but they can also bring pressure, exhaustion, and a whole lot of expectations. ❤️‍🩹
If you’re feeling stretched thin, you’re not alone.

These gentle reminders can help keep the season grounded in what truly matters: connection, presence, and moments of calm. ✨

Small shifts—like keeping routines steady, embracing imperfection, and choosing simple traditions—can make the biggest difference for you and your child.

Let this be the year you slow down, breathe, and enjoy the meaningful moments (even the messy ones). 💛

The couples therapy question that changes everything:

How can I be my best self in this relationship—regardless of what the other person does?

Most people don't want to hear this.

They want their partner to change first. "If YOU would just stop doing that, then I could be different."

But when one person stops waiting and changes their dance steps first? The whole dynamic shifts.

This DOESN’T mean you accept bad behavior or lose yourself in the relationship. It means you stop waiting for someone else to make you better and start showing up as the person you want to be.

I loved exploring this with The Minimalists.

It was never about the dishes.

It was about: We're supposed to be partners.

It was about: Do you care about me?

It was about: Am I seen and appreciated or do you only see how I come up short?

If you only talk about he dishes, nothing gets resolved.

If you want to strengthen your relationship, have the real conversation instead.

Every part of your experience is worth your care and attention. Being present for all the various parts of being alive is a way that you can validate and show up for yourself. Learning to be there for yourself is a powerful and important skill that takes time and care to cultivate.
But in a world that is often unkind, and does not often show compassion, learning to be kind and compassionate offering grace towards yourself is an invaluable and healing gift, which you can bestow upon yourself over and over and over again.

Learning to become aware of your thoughts, then challenging your thoughts and choosing new, helpful thoughts may be one of the most life-changing skills you’ll ever develop.
