I am at that point.

My brain is full. My to-do list is long, and it feels like every hour is already spoken for until I officially call it holiday.

There is a natural slowing happening for many people right now. And yet, there is also a lot of frenzied energy in the air.

With that in mind, this is a gentle reminder to be mindful of what you are taking on​
and how you are giving yourself space.

As the year comes to a close, I have been reflecting on a few things:

I celebrated:​
Leading a group of female nonprofit CEOs through a powerful, honest, and deeply human retreat. We didn’t hide from the hard topics and allowed space to see possible ways forward.

I learned:​
That how I show up, my being, matters far more than how much I do.

I continually practice:​
Asking for help. (Still. Always.)

A skill I have been developing:​
Translating what I sense and feel into words others can receive. Which means…I am getting better at boundaries because I am better at specifically naming what I need.

I am ready for:​
Taking the next immediate action, even when I can’t (yet) see steps three, four, and five.

For this final stretch of the year, my intention is to show up playfully. For my clients. For my family. For the people around me.

Yes, it is busy, and what is the point if it is not joyful?

This week began with nighttime sledding with my kids.
It will end with board games and probably too much hot chocolate.

And I want to celebrate you too.

Everything you have learned about yourself this year.
Every moment you chose presence over pressure.
Every way you are showing up more fully and more powerfully, even when it wasn’t perfect.

Wishing you a holiday season filled with love, joy, rest, and play.

And if you are feeling the pull to begin the new year with intention, clarity, and support, I am considering a January workshop.

If you’re interested, simply reply and finish this sentence:

“I would love to begin 2026 in the energy of…”

Wishing you a wonderful holiday season.

Always in your corner,
Megan
