If you’re hiding in the bathroom right now pretending to check a text so you don’t lose your mind, that’s a great hack!!

And I’m proud of you because your body asked for a minute and you listened.

I hope these small check-ins help you catch your breath before someone asks you another question you weren’t prepared for. Holidays can be a lot, especially when you’re trying to manage everyone else’s energy on top of your own.

The holidays can bring comfort, connection, and nostalgia, but they can also stir up a lot.

For some, it’s family, noise, and full schedules. For others, it’s quieter, maybe even complicated. Whether you’re surrounded by people or spending the day on your own, this season can hold mixed feelings and memories.

If things feel like a lot, these small pauses can help you come back to yourself, a short walk, a slow breath, a quiet moment away from the noise.

You don’t have to make the day perfect. Just make it feel a little more doable, one moment at a time. 🩵

There’s a lot of buzz around “the window of tolerance,” but here’s how I usually explain it.

Imagine sitting near the edge of a cliff. When you’re right at the edge, even something small, like a text you didn’t expect or someone’s tone shifting, can push you over.

That’s what it feels like when your tolerance for distress is narrow. Small stressors feel huge because you’re already close to your limit.

The goal isn’t to avoid cliffs altogether, it’s to move a little farther back from the edge. To build enough space between you and the drop, so when something happens, you can catch yourself before falling over.

That space is your window. Expanding it means you can ride the ups and downs without feeling completely thrown off course.

There’s nothing wrong with needing reassurance.

It’s human to want to know things are okay, to look for a text, a tone, or a sign that you’re safe in a connection.

Regulation is what helps your body believe you’re safe, even when the outside world feels uncertain. It’s what helps you return to yourself instead of waiting for someone else to make you feel okay again.

That might look like reorienting yourself to the present moment, noticing what’s around you, naming what you see, or feeling your feet on the floor before reacting.

We’re not meant to stay regulated all the time, it ebbs and flows. What matters is learning how to notice when you’re off and finding ways to come back to yourself.

The goal isn’t to never need reassurance, it’s to build enough inner safety that you can stay connected to yourself while you wait for it.

Who are you beneath the roles, the routines, and the expectations?

Getting to know yourself again isn’t selfish. It’s how you begin to feel safe in your own skin.

When life has been about surviving, you start to lose touch with what actually feels like you, what lights you up, what drains you, what values you stand on when no one’s watching.

The more you understand your inner world, the less you need to perform for the outer one.

Start with these five pillars, and notice which one feels the hardest to connect with right now. That’s usually where your next chapter begins.

Sometimes “sorry” becomes the default before we even realize it.

For a lot of people, it started as a way to ease tension or avoid conflict, something that once helped things feel predictable.

The problem is that when “sorry” shows up everywhere, it teaches your brain that comfort has to come from keeping things calm instead of expressing what you actually need.

Over time, that makes honesty feel risky, even when nothing’s wrong.

You don’t have to cut out “sorry.” You just don’t need it to stand between you and what you actually mean.

That moment you pause before apologizing, that’s where awareness starts to grow 🩵

The holidays can stir up a lot especially when you’re surrounded by couples or the constant “are you seeing anyone?” questions.

Sometimes this season can make you question your worth, but your worth isn’t based on your relationship status.

You don’t need pep talks or reminders that “it’ll happen when you least expect it.” You just deserve people who make space for you exactly as you are with no fixing and no timelines.

Being single isn’t a pause button, it’s not a waiting room for something better. It’s a real, full, and valid season of life.

Dating with anxious attachment can feel like a scary movie 👻

You know that feeling when the music gets quiet and you just know something’s about to happen?
For some of us, that’s what silence after a text can feel like something shifted, even if nothing actually did.

You start replaying the conversation, checking the tone, wondering if you said something wrong.
It turns into an exhausting cycle, because somewhere along the line you may have learned that staying alert felt safer when things were uncertain.

That exhausting cycle is your mind trying to predict the next move before it happens because maybe at some point that helped you feel prepared. The problem is, it keeps you stuck in that loop instead of being in the moment and actually connecting with the person in front of you.

You don’t need a long catch-up to keep a friendship strong.

Sometimes it’s the small, intentional moments that matter most like a quick text, a voice memo, or putting a coffee on the calendar before life gets in the way.

These are simple ways to remind someone they still matter to you.

Save this post if you need a few ideas for reconnecting with the people you care about.

Most of us were never taught what a real boundary sounds like. That’s why so many of us end up setting demands instead hoping someone else will finally change.

But boundaries aren’t about controlling anyone else.
They’re about following through on what you’ll do to stay aligned with yourself.

It’s less about getting someone to listen and more about learning to trust yourself to follow through.

Comment BOUNDARY and I’ll send you my free resource on holding boundaries even when it feels uncomfortable.

Ever notice how “sorry” slips out before you’ve even done something wrong?

For many of us, it becomes a default and a way of softening our presence, keeping the peace, or making sure no one is upset with us.

But apologizing for every little thing doesn’t make you kinder but it just reinforces the idea that your needs or your presence are inconvenient. You can still be thoughtful and respectful without leading with an apology.

A small shift can make a big difference. Try replacing “Sorry to bother you” with “Do you have a moment?” or “Sorry for asking” with “I appreciate your help.” These swaps remind both you and the other person that your voice matters and that you don’t need to apologize for existing.

Save this for the next time you catch yourself defaulting to “I’m sorry” out of habit, and remind yourself that your worth isn’t measured by how small you make yourself.
