As the year turns, I’ve been reflecting on what I want to center in my work and in my own life this year. I shared the topics I want to cover this month, in a previous blog – but you may be wondering why those topics are highlighted in particular.
Based on research I conducted throughout 2025, one thing has become increasingly clear: our sense of well-being is deeply shaped by the quality of our relationships, not just the absence of conflict, but how supported, steady, and connected we feel within them.
Because of that, my commitment for this season is to focus on relational wellness; the everyday ways our relationships either support or strain our capacity to feel settled.
Throughout January, the email series and Settle In practices will gently explore how conflict, confusion, and avoidance show up relationally, and what it means to care for our well-being in the middle of those patterns.
These emails and their reflection prompts are invitations for you to consider your self and your relationships. There may be nothing to fix or resolve right away, just an opportunity for you to have the space to notice what’s been asking for your attention.
If you’d like to join the first monthly Settle In Practice on January 10th, you can register here.
Thanks for being here, I look forward to exploring this together.

These reflection PDFs are offered as free opt-ins so they’re accessible to folks who find this work through the blog.
