Family is complicated. Let's just say it. The people who raised you, who share your DNA, who were there at the beginning—they gave you your first wounds AND your first experience of love. Sometimes in the same moment. My grandkids were flower girls at my wedding this year, and watching three generations dance together reminded me: family is the first story we're born into, and we spend our whole lives rewriting it. Some of you are grateful for parents who sacrificed everything. Some are healing from parents who couldn't show up. Some found family in friends who chose you when blood relatives didn't. Some are raising children and rewriting generational patterns. Some are estranged, some are enmeshed, some are somewhere complicated in between. This 3-minute meditation isn't about pretending your family is perfect. It's about holding the full truth: the wisdom passed down AND the patterns you're breaking. The unconditional love AND the conditional approval. The laughter that bonds you AND the silence that divides you. The hands that supported you AND the hands that failed to catch you. Family shaped who you are—the good parts and the parts you're still healing. This meditation helps you hold ALL of it with compassion. Not bypassing the pain. Not denying the gifts. Both/and. Because that's what family is: complicated, foundational, imperfect, and yours.

There's someone in your life who sees you. Really sees you. Not the version you show the world, not the filtered Instagram self, not the professional facade—the REAL you. The messy, flawed, beautiful, struggling, triumphant, actual you. And they choose you anyway. For me, it's Leon—my husband, my partner, the one who makes ordinary Tuesday nights feel like magic. But for you, it might be your best friend who's known you since childhood. Your parent who never stopped believing in you. Your partner who stayed when things got hard. Your mentor who saw potential you couldn't see yourself. Your child who teaches you what unconditional love actually means. Whoever it is, you know the feeling: the warmth when they walk into a room. The safety of being fully yourself. The celebration when they're proud of you. The hand that reaches for yours when everything's falling apart. This 3-minute meditation isn't just about thinking grateful thoughts about them. It's about FEELING what they mean to you—in your body, in your heart, in that place where words don't quite reach. Because gratitude lives in the feeling, not the thinking. And when was the last time you actually paused to FEEL how much this person means to you? Not just know it. Feel it. That's what we're doing today. Then—and this is the important part—you're going to tell them.

I don't recognize myself in the mirror anymore... and I need YOUR help

These glasses have completely transformed my face and honestly? I'm having an identity crisis every time I walk past a reflective surface. So naturally, the only solution is to give them a proper name and let YOU decide what it should be.
Drop your best name suggestion in the comments. Are they giving Blanche from Long Island? Scheckelhoff energy? Something completely different? The most creative, hilarious, or oddly perfect name wins eternal glory (and a special shoutout from me).
Rules are simple: Comment your name suggestion below. That's it. The name that makes me laugh the hardest or feels inexplicably RIGHT wins. Let's make these glasses iconic together!
