Expectation can be a real trickster.

It sets the stage, rolls out the red carpet, and just when you’re ready for the big moment—BAM—disappointment crashes the party like an uninvited guest, stealing the spotlight.

Sadness? That’s like your emotional Wi-Fi going out. Nothing’s loading properly, and all you want to do is curl up and wait for a signal.

And then there’s the “1% battery” feeling—still functioning, but every task feels like it’s about to shut you down completely.

These experiences are real, and they’re ones we rarely talk about, even though they can quietly overshadow the joy of the holidays.

So, I want to invite you into a deeper conversation around this.

If we’re both being honest, I think we’d love nothing more than to welcome a little more bliss into our lives—no matter where we find ourselves this season.

So take a moment. Check in with yourself!
How are you feeling around the holidays?
Have you been riding an emotional rollercoaster?
Are you doing your best to not think about how you’re feeling?

Sometimes, fear holds us back from sharing what’s really going on inside. We worry about seeming needy or ungrateful.

But if that’s you, I’ve got your back.
You don’t have to keep cycling through the same frustrating patterns of disappointment.

Let’s go deep. Let’s get real. Let’s make room for more joy, more laughter, and yes—more bliss—this season. 🌲

Oh, and here’s a fun twist: In this masterclass, I’ll be reading out my very last letter to Santa (written in 1998, a true classic). Because sometimes, reconnecting with our inner child is exactly what we need to bring back a little magic.

P.S. The inner child in me sees the inner child in you. 🙏🏼
