You did something really hard.

You made it through Black Friday.
You made it through the holidays.
And if your business lives in markets, you’ve got one more push and then - you’re there.

I see you.

Even when the people around you don’t fully understand the mental load, the long days, or what it costs to show up like this - I get it.

Every order you packed mattered.
Every product you made or sold helped someone in a real way.

Someone is opening a gift you created and feeling seen, comforted, excited, or taken care of.
Someone’s day is better because your work exists.

That’s why you do this.

And now - it’s time to rest.

That quiet stretch between Christmas and New Year’s is rare and magical.
No one expects fast replies.
No one expects packages to fly out the door.
The world collectively exhales.

Let yourself exhale too.

Curl up with your people - or just by yourself.
Be still.
Be quiet.
Let your nervous system come back online.

You can pick it all back up in January.
But right now, this is your time to rest.
