Hello, friends.

I'm really, really excited to bring this episode on editing your holiday gift lists out of the

Locked Archive.

This episode originally aired in 2017, and it is loaded with practical ways to edit out the

stress of gifting without tamping down on generosity or losing the fun and delight of the season.

I figured this was an especially important time to elevate this episode because of the

current conditions and financial

hardships that so many people are experiencing. Per usual, when I choose to bring episodes

out of the locked archive, the tips are evergreen. And what was really cool to experience

in listening to this episode during production was hearing the continued editing journey play out.

Where I was in 2017 when we originally recorded this episode is so different from where I am now.

And this continued process of editing over the years has really made life so much easier.

So I'm hoping this will meet you in the moment and help you as well.

One quick note, I left in mention of Brave New World Designs so as not to disrupt Asha's flow

and also because it really captured a powerful moment in time in John and my ability to channel

creativity and donate thousands of dollars to

dozens of charitable organizations.

That said, this shop is on hiatus indefinitely.

Let's get to the conversation.
