Hey friend — the holiday season is almost here! And before the pace picks up, I want to pause with you and look at the heart of how we enter it. Because the season can be full of joy… or full of overwhelm. And a lot of that comes down to how we prepare our space, our schedule, and our spirit before the celebrations begin.

This episode is the first in a gentle, practical mini-series to help you create margin for the season ahead — not by doing more, but by clearing space to receive the joy that’s already yours in Christ. This is about preparing the atmosphere — inside your home and inside your heart.
