Life is wild, but that doesn’t mean you can’t pause and find your own little slice of comfort and joy. In today’s episode, I riff on the classic carol ‘God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen’ (without the preachy vibes) to remind you to rest your mind, embrace the calm, and spread a little peace. Let’s laugh, reflect, and find that joy—even if it’s hiding under a pile of emails.

Poll Question:
What brings you the most comfort and joy?

• A cozy moment (like blankets or tea)
• Laughter with loved ones
• Nature walks and quiet time
• Indulging in your favorite treat

Inspirational Quote:
“Pause, take a breath, and let joy find you, even in the midst of chaos.”

"Okay, so here’s a classic example of why you’ve got to trust your gut—even when everyone else thinks they know what’s best for you. A while back, I was torn about selling my bus. And when I say torn, I mean Torn with a capital 'T.' I loved that bus. It was like a part of me. But man, I needed the money.

And of course, all my friends were like, 'Noooo, you can’t sell the bus! It’s so you! It’s iconic!' Which is great and all, but here’s the thing: Not a single one of them was offering to chip in for gas, repairs, or, you know, my bills. They wanted me to keep it because it fit their idea of who I was—not because it made sense for me.

It was like the bus was this magical symbol of freedom… except for me, it had turned into a big ol’ stress machine. It wasn’t paying the bills, and it definitely wasn’t helping me sleep at night. So, I had to step back and ask myself, 'Am I keeping this thing for me, or because everyone else thinks I should?' Spoiler alert: the bus had to go.

And you know what? Once I made the decision, it felt like a weight lifted off my shoulders. It’s funny how that works, huh?

So, moral of the story: Your friends and family might have great intentions, but sometimes their advice is more about them than about you. Listen to your gut, because it usually knows what’s up—even when it’s scary to go against the crowd.

Poll Question:
Have you ever made a decision that went against everyone else’s advice?
A) Yes, and I’m so glad I did!
B) No, but I wish I had.
C) I always follow the crowd—safety in numbers, right?
