I don’t know if anyone else feels this, but I’ve had this quiet sense lately that I’m a bit behind.

Like everyone else seems to be stepping into something new and I’m just, here. A little still. A little slower than I expected to be this year.

Life is steady. I’m working. I’m doing my normal days. But I don’t feel that same sense of expansion I had last year. And I didn’t think it would affect me the way it has.

There’s a small part of me that keeps wondering if I missed my window. If maybe I had momentum and didn’t realize it and now I’m trying to find it again.

Even putting this here feels vulnerable.

I wrote more about this over on Substack today. About that tension between expansion and stillness and the fear of missing your moment.

Link’s in my bio.

Lately I’ve been having these little meaningful moments with my daughters and their friends.

My youngest had a friend over and at one point the two of them sat with me in the kitchen for almost an hour just talking about what was going on for her at school. When she was done she looked at me and said, “Thank you so much for letting me vent to you.” I swear I almost teared up but I just smiled and said, “Anytime.”

Later my daughter told me her friend said she really likes talking to me.

Then I picked up my oldest and her friend from the mall and before we were even out of the parking lot her friend was already telling me everything. What happened, what they bought, who they saw. All the fun little details. My daughter was chiming in too and there were these moments of, “Wait, I want to tell your mom that part.”

After I dropped her friend off, my daughter got a text that said, “I love your mom.”

It means a lot to be someone they feel comfortable talking to and letting into their world. These little moments honestly mean everything.

My mom heart feels very, very full.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how easy it is to get used to things in your body that actually aren’t normal.

We adapt and push through. We tell ourselves it’s probably fine.

That train of thought ended up turning into something more personal than I expected, so I wrote about my own experience with all of this and what the last while has been like for me.

It’s up on Substack if you want to read it.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how much effort I used to put into becoming someone I thought people would like and trust.

I didn’t see it that way at the time. I just knew I was always adjusting myself. Softening things. Tightening things. Rereading captions way too many times, trying to land in that middle spot between human and spiritual.

Enough depth. Enough warmth. Still taken seriously.

And honestly, it makes sense. This space can be loud. Certain ways of showing up get more attention. And if you’re someone who needs quiet to think or feel things through, it’s easy to feel behind even when you’re doing good work.

Over the past year, I’ve been asking myself some harder questions about who I am and how I want to be here. In this space and in my business. I don’t always have clear answers. A lot of it has just been sitting with the questions longer than I normally would.

For a while, that felt uncomfortable. I like understanding things. I like clarity. But instead of answers, I started noticing where things felt tight. Where I was still shaping myself. Where I was rushing my own timing without realizing it.

What’s changing isn’t really my content. It’s more behind the scenes.

How I sit in my work. How much I feel the need to manage how I come across. How much space I give myself to move at the pace that actually works for me.

I’m starting to understand myself a bit better now. The patterns I used to question. The pauses I used to push past. Even the timing that used to feel off but actually isn’t. It’s just mine.

It doesn’t feel like a reinvention. Or a big moment.

It feels more like coming back to the version of me that’s always been here, underneath all the effort to get it right. Which is both comforting and a little uncomfortable.

There’s more space now. In how I speak. In how I show up. In how I hold others.

And I think that space is what I’ve been reaching for this whole time.

Today is Bell Let’s Talk Day and this feels important to say.

We often think mental health struggles look like a breaking point. Crying all the time. Falling apart. Not being able to get through the day.

But sometimes it looks much quieter than that.

Sometimes it looks like going about your life while your mind won’t slow down. Like waking up already tired. Like feeling more irritable or more emotional than usual and not really knowing why. It can look like being constantly in your head, running through scenarios, or bracing for something even when nothing is actively happening.

Sometimes it looks like paying closer attention to your body than you ever have before. Noticing every sensation. Wondering if something means more than it should. Feeling on edge in a way that’s hard to name but always there.

Sometimes it looks like pulling back socially. Needing more quiet. Less noise. Fewer conversations. Not because you don’t care, but because your system needs rest and safety more than anything else.

That’s what it looked like for me last year.

On the outside, things looked fine. I was showing up. Life was moving forward. But inside, my nervous system was working overtime. It took me a while to acknowledge that my mental health was actually struggling because nothing looked “wrong” enough to justify it.

Things started to shift when I stopped dismissing it.

What helped wasn’t pushing through or trying to stay positive. It was talking things out with a few trusted people in my circle. Saying the things I’d been holding in my head. Being honest instead of strong. Letting myself be supported.

It also meant putting up more boundaries. Being more mindful of where and who was taking my energy. Saying no more often. Even when it felt uncomfortable. Even when it meant disappointing someone. Choosing what my system could handle instead of what I thought I should be able to handle.

Alongside that, I slowed down more than I thought I was allowed to. I rested. I pulled my energy back. I let my pace be slower. I gave myself permission to take up less space for a while.

I didn’t realize how much I was carrying until I said it out loud.

I’ve been looking back at last year and feeling really grateful for the women I worked with. The conversations we had and the sessions we shared meant a lot to me. Even the quiet support. The people who read and follow along without saying a word. All of it matters.

So I wanted to start this year with a little thank you.

I’ve added a Gratitude Special to my site with gift certificates at a lower rate for a short time. You can grab one for yourself or for someone who could use it and you can use it anytime in 2026. No need to rush or pick a date now. It will be waiting for you.

If you’ve been thinking about booking or coming back in, this might be a good time. Everything is linked in my bio.

And truly thank you for being here. It means more than you know.

This time of year always feels funny to me. Everyone is talking about plans and goals and big moves and I am usually still half hibernating, trying to remember what day it is. So I stick with something simple that actually works for me. One word. Something I can return to when everything gets busy or noisy or just a little confusing.

Last year’s word ended up teaching me more than I expected. It showed up in ways I never could have planned and shifted a lot under the surface.

This year has a completely different feel and I wrote about it on the blog if you want to read.

And if you have your word for this year I’d love to hear it.

This year didn’t go the way I thought it would. It started off feeling pretty steady and then slowly shifted into something much harder than I was prepared for.

There were health scares. Endings that didn’t come with clarity. A lot of slowing down when I would have preferred to keep moving. I learned what happens when you stop pushing your body, your business and yourself to keep up with timelines that don’t actually fit.

I also learned that stepping back didn’t make everything fall apart. That I don’t work the same way others do. That moving slower and being honest about what I can hold is part of how I nourish myself, even when it looks different than what’s expected.

I wrote a longer reflection on the year I had and what I’m carrying forward as I step into the next one.

It’s up on Substack. The link is in my bio if you want to read.

Happy holidays, friends 🤍

Whether this season feels full and cozy or a little tender and quiet, I hope you find a few moments that feel like coming home to yourself. A deep breath. A good laugh. A pause you didn’t rush past.

Thank you for being here, for reading, listening and sharing this space with me. It really does mean more than I can put into words.

Sending you love from my little corner of the world.

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
