The Season of Protecting Your Peace: You're Not Doing It Wrong; You're Human

Mundanely Magical Mondays: Remembering Yourself in Community

The holidays are sold to us as a time of perfect togetherness:
cozy tables, effortless conversations, everyone on their best behavior.

Real life is softer and messier than that.

So bring your boundaries with you! Because boundaries in community aren’t about closing your heart.

They’re about staying with yourself while you’re with others.

When Tradition Becomes Obligation: 5 Ways to Reclaim Your Joy in the Season (and in Travel)

The holidays have a way of pulling us into their current — a swirl of rituals, recipes, and expectations that seem to have always been there. We light the candles, bake the cookies, make the long drives, or say “yes” to one more gathering, all in the name of tradition.
