Sometimes Gifts Come in Strange Wrapping Paper

This final episode of the year is a sassy sendoff and a sacred pause—a gift for every mom who made it through a year that didn’t look anything like she ordered.

Together, we unwrap what this year really gave us, pack only what we’re meant to carry forward, and intentionally lay up blessings for what’s ahead. We’ll talk about the gifts that matter most—especially the ones we give our kids that can’t be wrapped or returned—and how to walk into the holidays and a new year with hope, joy, and peace instead of pressure.

If this year stretched you, surprised you, or shaped you in unexpected ways, this episode is for you.

Sometimes gifts come in strange wrapping paper… and this year proved it.
