Hide Upstairs And Listen To This
This is a very special Christmas Day episode, a quiet moment just for you, tucked inside the chaos, the noise, the joy and the overwhelm of today.
If you’re listening to this hiding in the loo for five minutes… stirring gravy… feeding the baby… or sitting in the car for a breather before going back inside — this message is from my heart to yours.
Christmas has a way of amplifying everything. The joy, the expectations, the mental load, the pressure to make it all magical. And so many of us arrive at today feeling stretched, emotional, tired, or holding far more than anyone ever sees.
This episode is my love letter to you - doing the invisible work, the emotional labour, the holding-it-all-together.
✨ A moment to breathe.
✨ A moment to be seen.
✨ A moment to be reminded of your worth.
This is not an episode to learn from or “do” anything with — it’s one to feel. A moment to pause, breathe, and let yourself be held for once.
Wherever you are today, in the noise, the calm, the joy, the heaviness — I am sending you so much love. Merry Christmas
