Summary

We are at that time of year where it’s easy to wake up every morning and feel like you're 5 days behind on everything. Work deadlines, gift lists, travel plans… It’s so much! I want you to take a moment to imagine what it would be like to wake up each morning of this holiday season feeling a sense of peace and ease. Last week, in our membership community, Momentum Mamas, we had a couple members share that they completely flipped Thanksgiving on its head this year. They broke all past traditions, planned something totally new - and way more full of ease - and had the VERY BEST Thanksgiving, as voted on by themselves and their kids. Less plans, less people, less old & stressful default traditions. More peace, more ease, more connections with the few you want to be closest to, new thoughtful & intentional traditions that made their hearts swell. As these members shared their Thanksgiving stories, I reminded everyone: You can always rewrite the rules. Sometimes we forget. We default to what we’ve done in the past or what others expect of us. The result is often stress, total overwhelm, and resentment. Let’s rewrite the rules this year, shall we? This year, I’m inviting you to: Prioritize your joy over other people’s expectations Doing things differently Do less and breathe more Reconsider what brings joy Listen in to hear how to use these 4 invitations and how to apply 4 matching strategies to bring yourself more peace and ease this holiday season. Cheers to rewriting the rules, my friends. I’m doing this right alongside you! Link mentioned: Get my newsletter to be notified of our 2022 Plan & Prep Pajama Party Learn more about your ad choices.

1:09.2	beginning of November. And we've been slowly at Vinnie's urging pulling out little bits of Christmas decor and holiday
1:16.9	decor ever since. And so we did our big tree, our live tree that goes by in our living room.
1:24.4	We did that the day after Thanksgiving, which was really lovely. So we are like
