Hey there,
Let’s talk about this time of year. The pace picks up, the calendar fills up, and we’re hurtling toward the end of the year at lightspeed. It’s easy to get swept up in the whirlwind of events, plans, and to-do lists (holiday shopping, anyone?). But in the spirit of Thanksgiving, here’s a gentle reminder: don’t forget about you.
Self-care isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity—especially now. This season, let’s not just give thanks but truly embody it. That might mean taking five quiet minutes each morning, scheduling that check-up you’ve been putting off, or saying no to something that no longer feels like a “yes.” Thanksgiving is about gratitude, but it’s also about giving ourselves permission to slow down and care for what matters most.
Bonus! Here’s a great article from Psychology Today, “Minding Your Mental Health This Holiday Season,“ that offers practical advice on identifying holiday stress triggers, practicing self-compassion, and making plans to protect mental health during a busy season.
I’ll still be here throughout the holidays—booking events and preparing something special for all of you—but I’m also taking my own advice. I’m closing a few tabs, prioritizing rest, and keeping things light where I can. After all, we can’t pour from an empty cup—trust me, I’ve tried.
Here’s my question: What’s one small thing you can do for yourself this week? Something that helps you hit pause, breathe, and recharge?
With love and all the Thanksgiving warmth,
