Jules' journal

Christmas arrives each year with its familiar glow. The lights, the traditions, the hope of joy and yet for so many women, the season quietly slips into something heavier: pressure, comparison, and the unspoken belief that everything must look and feel “perfect.” But what if this year could be different? What if you gave yourself permission to step out of the script you never agreed to and create a Christmas that feels softer, simpler, and far more you? This piece is a gentle invitation to let go of perfection and choose peace instead, one honest moment at a time.

Midlife isn’t a decline; it’s a powerful turning point. A moment to pause, reassess, and realign your life with what truly matters.

When life softens and the noise fades, many women turn toward small comforts. Perhaps you’re reaching for an evening glass of wine, a little extra scrolling, a late night snack. They seem harmless enough. But sometimes, these gentle rituals whisper of something deeper...

Perhaps that glass of wine at the end of the day has become more than a treat and it’s become the way you unwind, reset, cope or tune out.

Am I growing here - or am I shrinking?  

What am I longing to create right now - emotionally, spiritually or physically?

Isn't this a good time to spring-clean and declutter your mind?
