  • 58. Set a Vision (and Pivot When You Need To)
    2025/12/17
    What if the goal you’re questioning right now isn’t a failure… but a redirection?

    In this episode of Hermit Haven, we’re talking about how to set a vision that supports who you’re becoming - not who you thought you had to be. As we reflect on the holidays and look ahead to 2026, we’re sharing a personal pivot story and reminding you that growth is allowed to change shape.

    Your vision isn’t something you’re locked into. It’s a compass - and sometimes it points you somewhere unexpected, but deeply aligned.

    In this episode, we explore:

    ✨ Why pivoting doesn’t mean you quit or fell behind

    ✨ How to hold a vision with confidence and flexibility

    ✨ Simple ways to create a vision board that evolves with you

    ✨ Journaling prompts to help you tune into how you want to feel next year

    ✨ Normalizing mid-year (and mid-life) pivots without guilt

    Try This Mini Challenge:

    Write down one goal you’re pivoting from - or pivoting toward - and share it with us inside the Hermit Haven community. You’re not meant to figure this out alone.

    If you’ve been asking yourself, “Am I allowed to change my mind?” - this episode is your reminder that you’re allowed to trust yourself, even when the path looks different than you planned.

    Coming Up Next: In the next episode, we’re continuing the conversation: Once we pivot, how do we carry ourselves into what’s next?We’ll be talking about identity, confidence, and stepping forward aligned with who you are now.

    Thank you for being here, for growing alongside us, and for choosing a vision that feels honest, brave, and true to you. 💖✨

  • 57. Everyday You Can Be the Best You
    2025/12/10
    Some days you’re thriving. Some days you’re just getting through. And both versions of you are still worthy, still growing, and still building a life that feels like you. 🤍✨

    In this week’s episode, we’re softening into a new idea:

    Your “best self” isn’t a reset, a Monday start, or a perfect version of you waiting somewhere in the future. She’s in the tiny choices you make every day — the quiet moments you don’t even realize are shaping you.

    We’re diving into:
    • 🌿 How to honor your real energy — thriving or surviving
    • ✨ Why tiny wins matter more than big resolutions
    • 💗 Three micro-moments (morning, midday, evening) that help you feel grounded and intentional
    • 🔄 What it actually means to shift your identity gently
    • 🤍 How to release perfection and choose presence instead
    If you’ve been feeling the post-holiday slump, the pressure to “start fresh,” or the weight of trying to do everything right… this episode will feel like a warm hug and a soft reset.

    Mini Challenge: Share one tiny win with us today — something small you did that helped you feel grounded or proud. (We LOVE these.)

    ✨ Come hang with us in the Hermit Haven community and tell us how you’re honoring your energy this week.

    You’re doing so much better than you think, friend.

  • 54. Honoring Yourself Through Holiday Expectations
    2025/11/19
    The holidays come with twinkle lights, cozy moments… and a whole lot of expectations that no one ever talks about out loud.

    The pressure to host perfectly, show up perfectly, parent perfectly, keep traditions alive, keep everyone happy — it’s enough to make anyone feel overwhelmed or “not enough.”

    But this year?
    We’re choosing something softer. Something healthier. Something that actually honors you.

    In this empowering episode, we’re breaking down how to gently release the holiday “shoulds,” reconnect with what YOU truly want, and create a season that supports your peace instead of draining it.

    We dive into:
    ✨ Letting go of the invisible pressure to do everything
    ✨ Releasing outdated roles and holiday performances
    ✨ Honoring your energy, limits, and emotional capacity
    ✨ Choosing aligned traditions instead of obligatory ones
    ✨ Communicating boundaries lovingly and confidently
    ✨ Redefining what a “successful holiday” actually means
    ✨ Giving yourself permission to take up space — even during the busiest season

    This is your reminder that you’re allowed to design a holiday that feels cozy, calm, intentional, and aligned with who you are today… not who others expect you to be.

    Pour a warm drink, take a deep breath, and let’s walk through this season together.

    You deserve a holiday that honors your heart, your bandwidth, and your magic. 🤍✨

    ✨ Question of the Week: What holiday expectation are you letting go of this year?

  • 53. Holiday Stress Detox: You’re a Superwoman, No Matter How You Show Up
    2025/11/12
    It’s officially that time of year — the to-do lists are long, the expectations are high, and the holiday chaos is real. But before you slip into superwoman overdrive, we’re giving your soul a little seasonal detox.

    In this week’s episode, we’re getting real about how to let go of the pressure to create the “perfect” holiday. Because truthfully? You’re already enough — no matter how you show up. We’re chatting about releasing guilt, setting boundaries, saying no to the overwhelm, and actually enjoying the season in a way that feels good.

    We also share practical ways to keep your sanity intact — like time-blocking your schedule, simplifying tasks, and carving out little moments of calm for yourself (even if it’s just five minutes of quiet coffee time before the chaos starts).

    Let’s redefine what a successful holiday looks like this year — one that feels peaceful, cozy, and true to you. 💌 In this episode we talk about:
    • Releasing perfection and embracing “good enough”
    • Simple scheduling habits to reduce stress
    • The beauty of slowing down and saying no
    • Why your worth isn’t tied to productivity
    • Giving yourself permission to enjoy the season, your way
    ✨ Affirmation of the Week:
    “I am enough. Done is better than perfect.”

    🎧 Grab your coffee, your cozies, and let’s breathe a little deeper this holiday season — because you deserve a December that doesn’t drain you.

  • 52. Carrying Love Through the Holidays: Missing Someone You Can’t Be With
    2025/11/05
    The holidays can be a tender time — full of joy, love, and also that quiet ache of missing someone you wish could be with you. In this heartfelt episode, we open up about what it feels like to miss the people we love — whether they’ve passed away or they’re simply too far to reach this year.

    Ashley shares about missing her bubbie and grandpa, and Jacqui talks about the deep longing for her dad, as well as the distance that comes from loved ones being states away. Together, we talk about how to hold both grief and joy in the same breath — how to honor our loved ones through small, meaningful rituals while still allowing ourselves to experience peace and happiness this season.

    We’re choosing to let love lead — saying yes to the little things that bring us joy, slowing down enough to notice the magic around us, and remembering that honoring someone you miss can also mean honoring yourself.

    If you’re feeling the weight of missing someone this holiday season, you’re not alone. 🕯️

    Grab a cozy blanket, pour a warm drink, and come sit with us.

  • 51. No More Holiday Guilt: Break the Rules!
    2025/10/29
    This week, we’re giving ourselves permission to break the rules — the invisible ones that tell us we have to do it all, please everyone, and never slow down.

    Because here’s the truth: you can love your people deeply and need rest. You can show up for others and protect your peace. You can rewrite what this season looks like — for you.

    We’re talking about…
    ✨ Letting go of mom guilt and old expectations
    ✨ How different seasons of life require different energy
    ✨ Saying “yes” only to what truly brings you joy
    ✨ Remembering that your kids will cherish the cozy moments — not the grand gestures
    ✨ Blocking time to recharge (because your peace matters, too)

    This episode feels like a warm reminder that you don’t have to compare your pace, your traditions, or your capacity to anyone else’s — not even your own from last year. The version of you right now deserves care, grace, and space to breathe.

    So grab your coffee (or cocoa) and let’s talk about building a holiday season that feels good — not perfect. You’re doing a beautiful job, friend.

    💗 🎧 Listen now and take a deep breath with us — it’s okay to do it your way.
