Self-Care: slowly make yourself a cup of afternoon tea or hot chocolate. Don't multitask this moment.

Family Fun: play a game that's been gathering dust. Fuzzies is the game of choice here because it's very very quiet jenga.

In this heartfelt episode, I'm sharing some exciting updates and a little news: the podcast is going on a temporary hiatus. But don't worry—this pause is happening for all the best reasons. I'm leaning into a season of rest, reflection, and "wintering" as I prepare to celebrate my oldest child's high school graduation and navigate a full season at work.

During this pause, I encourage you to revisit your favorite episodes—especially Breathe with Me, a beautiful reminder that you are exactly the right mom for your kids. I'll still be sharing inspiration and updates on Instagram (@Everyday_christy) and Facebook so be sure to follow me there!

This isn't goodbye—it's just a "see you later." When the podcast returns, it will be with new energy, exciting ideas, and more ways to connect as a community. Until then, care for yourself daily, especially when life feels chaotic. You are so deeply loved, and the work you do as a mom is world-changing. Subscribe now so you don't miss the return.

Thank you for listening and sharing this journey with me since 2018. Let's breathe together, reflect together, and look forward to what's to come.
