Your official holiday permission slip: Do less to show up more

Dec 09, 2025

Consider this your official permission slip.

You are allowed to skip the matching pajamas.

You are allowed to buy the cookies instead of baking them (or jump on that Venmo option and don’t bring a thing).


You are allowed to only go to one of the three school concerts.


You are allowed to skip sending out holiday cards (of course you are).


You are allowed to choose rest over one more errand.


You are allowed to buy yourself the gift you really want instead of getting one more robe. 

You will still be thoughtful and loving without running yourself into the ground.

If guilt pops up, remember that doing less is often what lets you show up more fully.

Energy, attention, joy—those are the real gifts your people want.

You don’t have to earn your own ease. It’s already yours to claim.

We all know those aren't automatically the wisest voices in the room. Yet when it comes to our own thoughts, we often forget that. A thought shows up with a lot of energy behind it an...
We love an easy win: Here are ten of them
Summer felt like a good time to share a few of our favorite life hacks. Nothing life-changing. Just little things that make life feel a bit easier. The driveway pause Sit in your car for one minute before going inside. It turns out switching between doctor, mom, partner, and human is a real transition. Write it down If you keep reminding yourself not to forget something, just write it d...
