In the middle of a very full holiday season, we created some space to simply be together.
Just good food, laughter, and connection.
It was a reminder I come back to often—especially this time of year:
We are responsible for tending our own “yard.”
No one else can create margin for us. No one else can protect our energy.

Self-care isn’t indulgent. It’s maintenance.
And sometimes it looks like dinner with friends in the middle of the chaos.
Here’s your nudge to water your own yard this week—before burnout starts knocking.
