21 Nov Holiday stress hack inside (and yes there is pie)

šŸ’Œ Notes from Natalie

Keeping it short and simple for you this week. I know the holidays are basically here which means joy, chaos, family dynamics, and the annual tradition of pretending we didnā€™t just eat half the pumpkin pie before dinner šŸ«¢No judgment. I fully support seasonal dessert amnesia.

Since the holidays can feel like a cocktail of magic and madness, hereā€™s your reminder that self care is not selfish care. Take a minute for yourself. A quiet moment. A journal page. A nice bath. A walk by yourself where you pretend you cannot hear anyone calling your name. When we get consumed by tending toĀ everyone elseā€™sĀ needs, we forget that we can actually show up as much better humans when we have taken a moment for ourselves to breathe (even if itā€™s just a tiny moment, it all counts).

I am not going to be doing a big Thanksgiving this yearā€¦but I need you to know something about me. Pumpkin Pie is my absolute favorite food of ALL time! šŸ„§ If someone told me to choose one food for the rest of your life, I would pick pumpkin pie without even blinking. So of course I WILL be making that (testing a new gluten free recipe this year that I will share with you at the end of this post). If it fails we blame the recipe. If it succeeds I take full credit šŸ˜ and then will have to refrain from making a second one lol.

What went down this week and what is coming next week? First up, I released an incredible podcast episode with Helen. She is in her 60s and super fit and her story is the kind you listen to while you are stuck in airport security or trapped in holiday traffic. It is inspiring, real, and a reminder that we are never too old and it is never too late to thrive. You can listen to it onĀ Apple hereĀ orĀ Spotify here.

And I have a few Black Friday deals coming your way. Some of my favorite supplements are doing major sales and I will send you all the links as they go live. I am also personally working on a few fun surprises for you for the holiday season šŸ˜‰

Happy early Thanksgiving week. I hope you enjoy the pie and maybe even enjoy your relatives. One thing to do for sure: enjoy yourself!

Love,

Natalie
