Dearest Reader,
How’s your day going today? How are you feeling in this moment? It’s self check-in time! Take a pause and ask yourself: how are your body and mind feeling? Is there anything screaming for attention—tension, fatigue, or even a quiet call for rest or nourishment?
​
​
This is your gentle reminder to tune into yourself, to listen, and to honor what your wellness journey needs right now. 🌿
​
​
As we approach the heart of the holiday season, I know how exciting and draining this month can be. The holidays bring joy and togetherness but can also be deeply triggering, especially for family members of loved ones struggling with addiction. Amid the lights and celebrations, there’s often a weight—of worry, unresolved pain, or the complex dance of supporting someone while maintaining your own peace.
​
​
That’s why I’m so honored to share this week’s podcast episode, featuring Jennifer McCutcheon, the incredible coach behind Enable No More. Jennifer’s work centers on guiding and empowering family members who have been impacted by a loved one’s addiction. In this episode, we have a deeply honest conversation about breaking free from enabling behaviors, setting healthy boundaries, and finding ways to care for yourself even during the hardest moments.

This Week's Actionable Tip
Reader,
This week, focus on setting one clear boundary that protects your emotional wellness during holiday gatherings. Remember, saying “no” to what drains you is saying “yes” to your peace and well-being.

This episode couldn’t come at a better time. The holidays magnify our relationships—the good and the painful—and I hope this conversation reminds you that you’re not alone and that you deserve the gift of peace, even in difficult circumstances.

Why this matters two days before Christmas:
The holidays can amplify feelings of guilt, responsibility, or anxiety for those supporting a loved one through addiction. This episode is here to remind you that prioritizing your wellness isn’t selfish—it’s necessary. You can show up for your loved ones without losing yourself in the process. Let Jennifer’s wisdom guide you toward a season of clarity, compassion, and boundaries.
