The holiday season can be beautiful… and still be a lot.
A lot of noise. A lot of plans. A lot of “I should.”

So here’s what I’m reminding myself of right now: your body keeps score. If you’re tense, tired, or feeling a little more emotional than usual, it’s not you being “dramatic.” It’s your nervous system asking for something different.

Maybe that looks like fewer commitments.
Maybe it looks like a quiet evening at home.
Maybe it’s letting “good enough” be good enough.

And if you’re blessed with a few safe people—hold them close.
Connection is a form of care. Rest is a form of wisdom.
I hope you give yourself both this season. From my family to yours, Happy Holidays!💛

High-functioning women will say, “I’m fine, I just like being in the house,” when what they really mean is, “I’m tired, disconnected, and don’t know where I fit anymore.”

Life is too short to only be seen in Zoom squares and sweatpants.
Get dressed. Meet a friend for dinner. Say yes to that event you keep scrolling past.

You don’t need a crowd, you need connection.

Your mood, your stress levels, even your sleep improve when you feel like you belong somewhere.

This week, don’t just think about self-care—walk out the front door and go where your joy has a chance to find you.

Some of us didn’t notice how small our world got this year.
Work. Home. Phone. Repeat.

Your mind might say, “I’m just tired,” but your body and mood often know the deeper truth: you’re lonely, not just busy.

Life is too short to only move between your couch and your to-do list.
Call the friend you keep “meaning” to catch up with.
Meet someone for coffee. Go to the game night. Say yes to the walk.

And if you don’t have many active friendships in this season, it might mean it's time to put yourself in new rooms – a networking event, a meetup, a faith community, a support group.

Community is not extra credit for mental health.
It’s part of the treatment plan. 💛

People often think strength is about how much you can lift. But the strength I’m working on — and the strength I want for you — is the ability to return to yourself.

A workout is simply the place I practice: being present, being gentle with my thoughts, being patient with my progress.
If life has been loud lately, give yourself one ritual that brings you back home to your body. Not for aesthetics, but for peace, clarity, and the reminder that you are worth tending to.

Leaders, caretakers, “strong friends”—this one is for you.

So many of the clients I work with are the ones everyone else leans on. They show up at work, at home, in their communities… and quietly convince themselves they don’t really need anyone. Until the weight becomes too heavy.

This moment with my friends is a reminder: even the strongest among us need a place to fall apart and be held. Community is not a luxury; it’s a protective factor. It keeps isolation from turning into despair.

You can be high-achieving and deeply connected. You can be the helper and still need help. Both can be true.

If you don’t have that kind of community yet, it’s not too late to start building it—through friendships, support groups, faith communities, or therapy. Strength is not how long you can go without support. Real strength is knowing when it’s time to reach back for your people. 🧡

You’ve grown in ways that don’t show up in “before and after” pictures.

You started saying “I’m not okay” instead of pretending you were fine.
You walked away from conversations that left you drained.
You took breaks before your body forced you to.
You asked for help a little sooner than you would have last year.

That’s growth. Not loud, not flashy, but real.
If you’re reading this and thinking, “I’m still not where I want to be.”

Remember, you are no longer where you were.
I see your effort, even on the days no one clapped for you. 💛

If you’re leading a practice, a team, a department, or even a family right now, you’re probably feeling it:
More noise. More decisions. More complexity.

When everything feels like it’s shifting, I encourage my clients to ask four simple questions:

1️⃣ Do people feel they belong here?
2️⃣ Are we actually focused on what matters most, or just busy?
3️⃣ Am I willing to grow, not just ask everyone else to change?
4️⃣ Are our choices clearly connected to a deeper purpose?

Your title may change. Your systems may change.
These questions—and the human needs beneath them—do not.

You don’t have to have every answer right now.
But if you keep returning to belonging, focus, growth, and purpose,
you will lead in a way that is steady, humane, and sustainable…
even when the world around you isn’t. 💛

Which of these four feels most important for you to strengthen in this season?

One thing I see over and over in my work. People don’t isolate because they’re “anti-social.” They isolate because they’re overwhelmed, ashamed, or tired of feeling misunderstood. It starts as a shield… and slowly becomes a cage.

This picture of my cousin and me is a reminder of what breaks that pattern: safe people. The ones who check on you when you go quiet. The ones who make space for your tears, your silence, your questions.

Community is not about having a crowd. It’s about having a few people who remind your nervous system, “You’re not in this by yourself.”

If isolation has felt like the only option lately, consider this your sign that you deserve rooms, relationships, and support where you can exhale. You are not a burden. You are human, and humans need people.

12/03/2025

I used to treat starting over like it meant I’d done something wrong. But the older I get, the more I see how much strength it takes to tell the truth about what isn’t working.
The restart isn’t the hard part.
It’s the honesty that comes before it.
And once you get honest, beginning again feels less like going backward and more like finally facing forward.

Yesterday looked different for all of us.
Some people were surrounded by family, some kept things small, and others just tried to make it through the day. However it looked for you, I hope today brings a moment to exhale.

The day after a holiday can feel quieter — sometimes in a comforting way, sometimes in a way that reveals what we’re still carrying. If that’s the case for you, I want you to know that it’s valid. You don’t have to rush yourself back into “normal.”

As you move through the weekend, give yourself permission to settle into whatever pace feels right. A slow morning. A walk. A meal you actually enjoy. Something simple that reminds you that you matter, too.

Sending warmth and steadiness your way as you continue your weekend.
— Dr. Cashuna (Shun) Huddleston 🧡

Every time I walk into a room like this, I’m reminded that networking is less about collecting contacts and more about collecting perspective.
One genuine conversation can sharpen your thinking.
One shared experience can shift how you lead.
And one person who’s been where you’re going can save you a few unnecessary detours.

This moment was exactly that. A reminder that growth often comes wrapped in human connection.

This smile? It’s my “why.”
Motherhood isn’t just about protecting him. It’s about expanding his world, giving him room to explore, to wonder, to try new things without fear.

I want him to know life isn’t just something we survive.
It’s something we taste, chase, and splash our way through.
And watching him do exactly that? Pure joy.
