Something I’ve been sitting with this month is how often healing shows up quietly, even when a lot of work has already been done. People share a moment they handled differently, a boundary they held, a reaction that softened and then move right past it like it doesn’t really count.

But it does.

Those shifts don’t come out of nowhere. They’re built through paying attention, choosing differently, practising and staying with yourself through things that weren’t easy. The healing happened. It just didn’t arrive as a big “aha.”

And that doesn’t make it smaller. If anything, it makes it real.
If you want to read more of my thoughts on this, I shared a longer reflection on my blog and Substack.

I make a year-end reflection guide every December.

And when I started working on this one, the usual way I do things didn’t match the kind of year I lived.

My year had layers. Some good, some heavy, some that showed up out of nowhere and shifted things in ways I didn’t expect. And in the conversations I’ve had lately, I heard pieces of that from others too. Different stories, same sense of “this year felt like a lot.”

So I scrapped the old structure and created something that actually fit the shape of this year.

The Year That Changed You goes deeper. It gives you space to sit with the moments that stayed with you, the ones that stretched you, and the ones you’re still trying to make sense of. No trying to wrap everything up neatly. Just room to look back in a way that feels real.

If that sounds like something you’ve been wanting, the link’s in my bio.

Over the weekend I watched Oh What Fun and it had me thinking about how many jobs land on our laps this time of year. How moms and wives are the behind-the-scenes holiday crew. The ones who somehow remember the things no one else even knew needed remembering. It’s impressive and it’s also a lot.

I love Christmas. I really do. But there’s a whole operation running underneath the joy. Even now with my girls getting older and actually able to help and the Santa magic no longer fully on my shoulders somehow the list still finds me.

Somewhere along the way I let go of the idea that Christmas had to look or be perfect. And honestly that shift helped more than I expected. It took the pressure down a few notches. It doesn’t mean I don’t care or put in the effort. I do. I just don’t chase the version of Christmas that expects me to be everywhere and everything at once.

One thing I’ve learned is that asking for help needs to happen before I’m having the breakdown. I don’t always catch it before that happens. Sometimes the asking and the unraveling happen at the same time. I’m still learning how to spot it sooner.
And I know so many of you are carrying a lot this month too. The mental load the emotional load the “fine I’ll handle it” load.

So I’m curious
How do you manage this time of year
What supports you the most when everything starts piling up

Earlier this week I came across a post calling her next year an analogue reawakening and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. Something in me lit up the moment I read it. It felt like my whole system saying yes, that’s the direction I’ve been quietly wanting without having the words for it.

She talked about slowing down and savouring the moments that don’t need to be documented or shared. Letting life feel less crowded. Paying attention to the parts of your day that actually feel good to be in. And the more I sat with it, the more it felt like something I want to lean into next year.

I’ve always been drawn to that way of living, but somewhere along the way business and online expectations got loud. I’m not someone who naturally remembers to capture every moment, and honestly, I’ve spent too much time thinking I should be better at that. Reading that post made something soften in me. Almost like permission to want a different pace.

When I imagine an analogue reawakening, it feels like slower mornings, more presence, conversations that don’t need to end up anywhere, time to think before reacting, space for intuition to actually come through and room for my energy to settle instead of rushing to catch up with everything around me.

It isn’t about avoiding technology. It feels more like a recalibration. A reminder that we don’t have to move at the speed of every demand around us. That depth and connection still matter. That we get to choose how we show up.

I haven’t figured out what this will look like for me yet, but something shifted when I read those words. And I’m ready to embrace it.

If you’ve been feeling off, overwhelmed or a bit disconnected from yourself, you’re not imagining it. This time of year pulls at every thread.

I’ve been noticing it in myself too. That moment where you realize you’re running on sheer will instead of actual energy. That’s my cue to pause and reset instead of pushing through it.

Reiki is what helps me come back to myself. It clears the noise so you can feel anchored in yourself again instead of pulled in ten different directions.

It’s the kind of support that helps you feel steadier and more connected to yourself when life has been pulling you in every direction.

If this season has you stretched thin, this is a really good time to reset before the year turns.

I’ve only got a few spots open this month, so if you’ve been feeling the pull, grab one while I still have space.

December has this way of shifting your pace before you even notice. Your body starts craving quieter moments while the world around you speeds up and expects more.

If you’ve been feeling that push and pull, you’re not alone. This time of year brings your attention back to what your energy actually has room for. The small comforts. The slower mornings. The real conversations. The tiny moments where you finally hear yourself again.

You don’t have to match the pace of the season.
You’re allowed to move in a way that feels honest for you.
You’re allowed to keep your energy close and spend it where it matters.

I’m choosing the pace that feels steady for me, even when the season gets loud.

There’s this quiet point where you notice yourself reacting to things in a way you didn’t last month and it’s easy to brush it off, but honestly, that’s usually your intuition doing its job. It shows up in the small stuff first. A pause. A pull back. A feeling that doesn’t match the moment. Your system is paying attention even when you’re not fully sure what’s shifting yet.

I’ve been noticing this a lot more in the past few months. Has it been showing up for you too?

Every year, November taps me on the shoulder like “hey… you ready to look at this yet?” And honestly, half the time I’m not. I’m tired. I’m busy. I’m human. But this season makes things clearer. The distractions drop and the truth gets louder.

Working with the darker months doesn’t have to be like emotional bootcamp. Sometimes it is paying attention to what keeps repeating. Letting yourself rest without guilt. Sitting beside the tender things instead of climbing inside them. And giving yourself a little space to hear the things you usually ignore.

If you’re sitting in this season too, I shared more on my blog. You can find it through the link in my bio.

I didn’t plan on slowing down this year. It kind of happened as I went. Somewhere along the way I realized I couldn’t keep moving at the pace I was used to and things started shifting whether I was ready or not.

Slowing down has felt strange at times, but it’s also been clarifying in ways I didn’t expect. It’s shown me things I wouldn’t have noticed if I kept pushing through everything. And honestly, it’s been a relief to let myself move at a pace that actually feels doable.

If you’ve been feeling that same nudge toward slow, you’re not the only one.

My daughter said something the other day that made me smile.

She was texting a friend and told me she could feel what he was feeling just from the way he was responding. Then she asked
“Am I intuitive or do I just have really good gut instincts?”

She said this isnt the first time this has happened and with different friends. I think she’s really noticing how much she picks up.

I told her I wasn’t surprised at all. “You’re my daughter. Are you really that shocked?” She laughed and rolled her eyes at me and then somehow we ended up talking about superpowers. As you do.

Some people just read people like this without thinking about it.
The tone behind a message, the shift in a conversation, the stuff people don’t actually say.

I’ve done it my whole life and now she’s starting to see she does it too.

This week brought up some stuff for me that I didn’t expect and it kind of forced me to sit with the parts of myself I keep wishing were different. Just me being human and noticing myself and realizing some things about me are probably always going to be there.

Like the introvert thing. I am an introvert. People still seem shocked when I say that but honestly it’s true. One on one I’m chatty and totally myself. Drop me into a room full of people where I have to socialize and you can actually watch my soul start looking for the exit. My RBF shows up. My brain gets loud. I overthink everything like my face, my tone and whether I’m coming across as weird. I don’t mean to look like I don’t want to be there, I genuinely do. I just get overwhelmed fast.

And I take things personally. I know I shouldn’t. I know it’s not always about me. But I still do. I’m a sensitive person and I used to hate that. Some days I still do. But I’m starting to understand that sensitivity isn’t something I’m meant to erase. It’s how I’m built. Even when I worry people won’t like that part of me.

I care deeply. I attach deeply. So when something shifts in a friendship or connection, my body feels it before my brain can catch up. And yes, sometimes I spiral. I replay things. I question myself. I beat myself up for reacting at all. I wish I didn’t but I do.

And I’m not great at asking for help. That’s a truth on its own. I don’t want to take up space or be a burden so I’ll look fine on the outside while my insides feel like a storm. It’s not ideal but it’s where I go.

These parts of me I’ve struggled to accept them. I’ve spent years trying to make myself lighter, easier, less sensitive, less much. But I think some parts of me are just here to stay. They make up who I am even when I’m not thrilled about them.

Yesterday brought all of it right to the surface.

It’s No-vember, and honestly, it’s the reminder a lot of us need.

This time of year naturally slows everything down. The energy shifts, the days get darker and you can feel your body asking for space. It’s the perfect time to check in with what you’ve been saying yes to, especially the things that don’t actually feel right anymore.

For me, it’s looked like stepping back from social media for a bit. Saying no to the guilt and pressure to keep showing up when I don’t feel inspired. I’ve learned that forcing it never feels good, and sometimes the most aligned thing I can do is pause.

No-vember isn’t just about the month. It’s about remembering you’re allowed to say no to the plans that drain you, the expectations that weigh you down and the pressure to keep pushing when you’re already running on empty.

Saying no isn’t negative or selfish. It’s how you protect your energy and come back to yourself.

So let this season be your reminder. You don’t have to explain your no. You just have to honour it.
