Calm in the Chaos: Art Journaling for Holiday Overwhelm & Expectations

I love the joy of the holidays as much as the next person, truly. But you know what I don't love? I don't love all of the running around making the magic happen for everyone else and ignoring my own needs. I cut all of that out years ago, and if you're ready to make yourself a priority, this virtual workshop (with two different date options because I know how it is) is for you.

This hour is just yours to let it out, breathe, and create an affirmation card that will help you stay grounded when the season feels like too much. Together, we’ll explore:

• What’s been feeling heavy or overwhelming
• How you actually want this season to feel
• Gentle ways to set boundaries and release the pressure
• A personal affirmation to carry with you as a reminder of what you REALLY want

You don’t need to know how to draw, it's not about that. Seriously, do you want me to show you the drawing of a bunny I made for my daughter? Let's just say, she wasn't impressed.

Just bring your journal (or a few sheets of paper), something to add color, and an open heart. (A suggested supply list will be provided at registration, but trust me, you don’t need anything fancy.)

By the end of this session, you’ll leave with:

• A creative release for your holiday emotions
• A clear visual “support plan” for the weeks ahead
• Your own hand-made affirmation card to ground and guide you when things get too busy or tense

Come as you are: messy, tired, hopeful, or somewhere in between.

This is your pocket of calm in the holiday chaos.
