This season, I am stretching kindness beyond our comfort zones. If you’re anything like me, you love doing small acts of kindness all year long, but there’s something special about going a little extra during this time of year.

But this season has challenged me more than usual. I’ve been pushed not only to keep up my usual kindness acts, but to step out of my comfort zone and take them even further. And in this week’s episode, I’m inviting you to join me in that challenge.

We have some really exciting news to share… we finally bought a farm!

What’s wild is that on the drive home from the closing, we started talking about everything that didn’t work out over last several years… all the things that fell through, all the plans that didn’t go our way, and all the doors that closed right when we thought they were supposed to open.

And suddenly, every single “no” made perfect sense. Because each one was redirecting us and nudging us toward this place… this farm… at the perfect time.

It reminded me of that Garth Brooks line: “Some of God’s greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.”

This Thanksgiving week, I am taking a different approach. Instead of focusing solely on gratitude, we’re exploring the other side of the equation, the habits, mindsets, and relationships that are no longer serving you. Sometimes the most powerful form of self-care isn’t adding more appreciation to your life, it’s releasing what’s holding you back.

In this episode, we talk about the pages you may need to let go of so you can move forward into the next chapter of your story. Gratitude matters, but letting go matters just as much.

Lets dive in!

In this episode, I get honest about the seasons that feel like they’re breaking us. The stretches of life where it seems like we’re taking punch after punch, and no matter how hard we try, nothing moves the way we hoped. Times when progress is painfully slow, when everything feels uphill, and when our patience, strength, and optimism wear thin.

I talk about the moments when we can absorb the hits and the moments when we hit a wall so hard that the only thing we want to do is burn it all down. This conversation is about naming those feelings, normalizing them, and exploring what to do when you’re standing in frustration, disappointment, or exhaustion.

Let's dive in!

Hey there, how’s that holiday planning going for you? Here we are, mid-November already, staring down the next month and a half with two big holidays on the horizon.

Now, I want you to really think about this for a second: how are these upcoming holidays, especially Christmas, making you feel?

Are you excited? Looking forward to it? Counting down the days until you can slow down, celebrate, and enjoy some time with loved ones?

Or... are you dreading it a little? Maybe feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or just not in that “holiday spirit” everyone seems to talk about?

Here’s the thing: whichever camp you find yourself in, it’s important to notice it. And if you’re in that not-so-excited camp, that’s okay, you still have time to shift how this season feels for you.

So, in today’s episode, let’s chat about it. Let’s talk about how you’re really feeling about the holidays, why that might be, and what you can do to make this season more peaceful, joyful, and meaningful, whatever that looks like for you.

Grab a cup of coffee, take a deep breath, and let’s dive in.

Have you ever had one of those moments when something presses on your heart and mind so strongly you just know you’re supposed to act on it? The other week, I experienced not just one, but two promptings that came completely out of nowhere. One, I will never know the reason for. The other, I absolutely understand why it was placed on my heart.

Both experiences reminded me how powerful it can be when we choose to listen and act even when we don’t understand the full picture. But it also made me wonder… how many promptings do we miss? How often are we too busy, too distracted, or too wrapped up in our own world to make a difference in someone else’s?

In this episode, I share those stories, what I learned from them, and why I believe paying attention to promptings can change not just someone else’s day but your own life too.
