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.

Permission granted

That peace isn't waiting at the end of the to do list.That feelings are messengers, not dictators.That validation ...
Promotion denied: The best news you didn't know you needed
One of the sneakiest ways we make life harder than it needs to be is by accidentally taking responsibility for jobs that were never ours.  And we’re not talking about doing our teenager’s laundry for them.  We're talking about emotional jobs. The invisible ones we assign ourselves without even realizing it.  We tell someone how we feel... then think it's our job to make sure they understand per...
