Episode 44: 🎄 Mele Kalikimaka 🎄 Feeling the Wonder & Awe of Christmas ✨

When we’re children, Christmas magic feels effortless 🎅🏼 The excitement for Santa, Christmas lights, making cookies, and that amazing feeling on Christmas morning opening gifts 🎁 In this episode, I reflect on that childhood sense of awe and how, as adults, we can reconnect with it again.

 

Whether it’s through a walk down memory lane to a feel-good memory 🤍, or by finding wonder in something nearby in the present moment - like watching a fireplace or enjoying the smell of hot cocoa or apple cider - all of these little things can bring moments of awe ✨

 

In this episode, I share a few personal memories of falling asleep under the tree, discovering Pokémon Blue in my stocking, and spending a magical Christmas in Paris ✨ Which was also my first time out of the country :) Wandering the Christmas markets and seeing the Eiffel Tower glowing against the winter sky is something I’ll never forget 🌌🤍

 

Lastly, I explore how nature is always offering us gifts of awe - the stars, the trees, the quiet…the beauty that doesn’t ask for anything in return. Wonder truly is all around us - it just takes slowing down and letting ourselves take it in to enjoy it 🕊️
