❄️ Trapped in a snow globe

if the holidays bring a snow storm of overwhelm...

Hi Love,

As the holiday season approaches, it’s easy to get caught up in all of the activity—the hustle and bustle of our to-do lists, gatherings, and festivities.

Mesmerized by all the excitement, we often forget to pause, breathe, and enjoy the simple pleasures that make this time of year so special.

There’s a delicate, beautiful snow globe that sits on the bookshelf. When I shake it, the snowflakes swirl chaotically, intertwining with shimmering sparkles, creating a hypnotizing storm within the glass globe.

In many ways, this feels like a reflection of the holiday season—the rush of shopping, decorating, cooking, and planning. The festive frenzy that seems to fill every moment.

Yet, just like the snow globe, it’s hard to appreciate the beauty of the scene when everything is swirling in a blur. We often miss the true magic of the holidays because we are swept up in the busyness, distracted by the endless movement around us.

But here’s the thing…

When I stop shaking the snow globe, the snowflakes begin to settle.

Slowly, gently, they drift down, and as they do, a peaceful winter scene reveals itself—calm, serene, and breathtaking. It's only when the chaos subsides that the true beauty at the heart of the snow globe becomes visible.

This holiday season, I invite you to pause and let the snowflakes in your life settle as well. Take a moment to step away from the hustle, and allow the swirling thoughts, tasks, and worries to gently fall into place.

As the flurry quiets, you’ll begin to see the beauty of the present moment—a peaceful scene that’s always been there, waiting for you to embrace it.

💌 A Reflection + An Invitation for YOU

How often do you pause and reflect?

It can be so easy to notice the ways we feel like we’ve failed, the mistakes we’ve made, the moments we’ve yelled at our kids, and all of the things we didn’t get done on our to-do list.

But what about the other moments?

The moments of connection, the ways you showed yourself love, the kindness you gave and received this year?

In The Soul Care Mom Village, we consistently take time for reflection.

And one particular reflection from a mom of two blew me away.

“When things were really bad with my husband, I started by trying to just live a joyful life, and that led me to Vibrant Mom Life and this community. I decided that he might not be able to love me, but *I could love me. Now I’m happier than I’ve ever been!”*

-Valerie H.

I’m honored to get to support so many amazing women through 1 on 1 support as well as through Vibrant Mom Life (the transformative coaching program for moms that will help you step out of survival mode and find yourself again...and it would be an incredible gift to give yourself this holiday season 🎁).

Ready to slow down and create magical memories this holiday season?

When we take time to pause and reflect, it not only helps us to see the gifts in our lives, it helps us step into the life we want to live with intention.
