In this reflective episode of Sipping on Wellness, I explore how to find stillness and peace in the middle of the holiday rush. While I love the warmth of twinkling lights, family gatherings, and the scent of something baking in the oven, I also know how quickly joy can be replaced by stress and exhaustion. Somewhere between the beauty and the busyness, peace often slips away.

In this conversation, I share how lasting calm doesn’t come from controlling circumstances but from resting in God’s presence right where we are. Through gentle storytelling, scripture, and simple rituals like mindful breathing, journaling, walking, and rest, I’ll guide you toward practical ways to reset your body, mind, and spirit.

Together, we’ll explore how stillness isn’t about doing less—it’s about trusting more. Whether you’re managing expectations, family dynamics, or your own inner pressure, I’ll help you create small moments of peace that last beyond the season.
