Before: The holidays used to feel like a blur of expectations. Everyone around me seemed to be chasing “merry and bright,” but all I felt was worn out—caught between endless to-do lists and the quiet ache of thinking I wasn’t “doing enough.”
After: This year changed everything. I gave myself permission to pause and be honest about what I actually felt. Instead of forcing myself to attend every event, I learned to say no without guilt. I created space for quiet moments and started new traditions that bring real joy—like hosting a casual “Friendsmas” where we can all just be ourselves.
The simple act of taking deep breaths during stressful moments helped me find clarity. Prioritizing what energizes me instead of drains me brought unexpected peace. This shift wasn’t just about surviving the holidays—it became about thriving year-round.
Chapter 6 of “The Journey – I Wish I Knew This Before I Was 21” sparked this transformation. It showed me how to set healthy boundaries, recognize my worth, and build genuine connections. Want to make this holiday season different? This chapter is your starting point. It’s the gift of empowerment you’ve been looking for.
