Tina invites you into a gentle end-of-year emotional audit to close out 2025 with intention, softness, and care. You’ll pause, breathe, and reflect on what surprised you, what strengthened you, what you want to carry forward, and your best hope for your January self in 2026. Think of it as a simple ritual to bring your heart, mind, and nervous system a little closer together before the new year begins.

This week, Tina invites us into a gentle December reset with one of her favorite practices: the permission slip. Borrowed from Brené Brown, the permission slip is a simple but powerful way to meet this busy season with more ease, honesty, and compassion. This is your moment to pause, reset, and honor what you need during one of the toughest stretches of the school year.

In this episode, Tina offers a gentle alternative to pushing through the stress of December. With only three minutes a day, you can reset your breath, recognize one thing that went right, and set a small intention for tomorrow. This tiny pause can create a lot more space than you think.
