Happier Holidays: Intention Setting for a More Sane & Soulful Season

Want to stress less and actually enjoy this holiday season?

There’s a good chance you’re entering the holiday season feeling depleted or overwhelmed. You likely haven’t had a moment to catch your breath.

Before you shift into auto-pilot mode—plowing through the usual holiday to-do lists and get-togethers—I invite you to pause and check in. What traditions feel like obligations this year? What would actually fill your tank and what would drain it further?

It's time to take back the holidays.

Happier Holidays is a self-guided workbook to help you set intentions for a more sane and soulful season. It's a downloadable PDF that guides you through a series of honest reflections.

The questions in the workbook are designed to help you identify your capacity this year, your longings, and what you need to make the holidays feel good to you. It's especially helpful if you're going through a life transition, grieving a loss, or feeling burned out. 

This year I'm offering the Happier Holidays workbook by donation. That means you can have it for free, pay $5, or pay $30--whatever is right for you!

Just 20 minutes of slowing down, lighting a candle, and setting intentions can shift a chaotic season to an easeful one.

So put on your coziest sweater, make a pot of cocoa, and let’s dive in!

FAQs

When is this retreat?

This is not a live retreat. It's a self-guided retreat that you can enjoy anytime. Once you buy it, you'll receive an email with an easy way to download the workbook. You can keep it forever and use it anytime.

I'm busy! How long will this take?

It takes about 20 minutes to do the entire workbook, but I encourage you to go at your own pace. You could do 5 minutes each morning for a week, or block off a whole hour to enjoy. I find that slowing down, getting cozy, and checking in with myself is the perfect antidote to that icky overwhelmed, rushed feeling. It's worth it!

Do I need a printer?

Nope! Printing the workbook is totally optional. If you don't have a printer, you can look at the prompts on your screen while you look at the workbook pages. Then you can write down your answers in a journal, which gives you lots more space to write.

What is intention setting?

Intention setting is a way of getting clear on something—like how you want the holidays to go this year. It's a self-reflection process to discover your truth and point yourself in a direction that's aligned with what you want. It's gentler than goal setting and more magical than making plans.

How much does this cost?
