This Christmas, let’s unwrap a gift that costs nothing but means everything: the gift of presence. In this special episode, I open up about my own struggles with slowing down and share how I’ve learned to be truly present—with God, with others, and with myself.
Life gets busy, especially during the holidays, but what if we paused to savor the moments that matter most? Together, we’ll explore practical ways to step out of the hustle and into the sacred stillness of the season. From understanding how our nervous system reacts to stress to trying simple somatic exercises that reconnect us with our bodies, this episode is an invitation to experience the peace we often long for during this time of year.
Let’s find joy in stillness, cherish the people we love, and honor the presence of God in our lives. My prayer is that this episode leaves you feeling inspired to slow down, breathe deeply, and fully embrace the beauty of this season.
Grab your favorite cozy drink, settle in, and let’s dive into this meaningful conversation.
Have a Merry Christmas!
