PRESENCE OVER PERFORMANCE - Christmas can be tender, emotional, and unexpectedly quiet. This episode is a gentle invitation to release pressure, stop striving, and notice where God has already been with you this year. Instead of fixing or forcing anything, we reflect on presence, peace that looks simple or unfinished, and the reminder every woman needs to hear on the holidays: you are not behind.

Key Takeaways • Christmas is about presence, not performance. • God meets us in unfinished, tender places. • Feeling emotional during the holidays does not mean you are failing or falling behind.

Action Guide Take a quiet moment today and ask yourself, Where did I notice God with me this year? Let one small moment be enough. No fixing, no planning, no pressure. Just notice and rest in that truth.

If you want to go deeper into identity, purpose, and belonging as a woman of faith, listen to my companion podcast: StoryMakers.
