Here is your reminder and permission slip:
Trust your gut and know you CAN say “no” if you’re not comfortable.
Hi beautiful soul,
Before the holiday whirlwind sweeps us all into a buttery, gravy-covered tornado, I wanted to drop into your inbox with something simple and real:
Thank you.
Thank you for being here.
Thank you for reading my words, sharing your stories, cheering for my messy progress, and giving me space to show up imperfectly but wholeheartedly.
Thank you for being part of this community of fierce, funny, healing-in-real-time humans who refuse to stay small.
Whether today is loud and full or quiet and tender… whether you’re surrounded by family, protecting your peace, or choosing your own kind of holiday — I hope you feel supported, appreciated, and held.
You matter.
Your story matters.
And I’m grateful for you — deeply.
Because gratitude should always come with a little love offering, I’m sharing one of my favorite freebies with you today:

Think of it as a tiny nudge back toward you — your clarity, your intuition, your spark. No sales pitch. Just a present. Because you deserve good things.
And because no holiday email is complete without food…
Here’s my favorite Thanksgiving Leftovers Glow-Up recipe — easy, cozy, and perfect for the day after when pants with buttons feel a little too ambitious.
🥧 Cranberry-Turkey Stuffing Waffles (Yes, Really — Trust Me)
Ingredients:
• 2–3 cups leftover stuffing (any kind)
• 1 egg
• ⅓ cup broth (turkey or veggie)
• Leftover turkey, shredded
• A spoonful of cranberry sauce
• Optional: a drizzle of gravy or maple syrup (I won’t judge either way)
Instructions:
- Preheat your waffle iron.
- Mix stuffing, egg, and broth until it forms a thick batter.
- Press mixture into your waffle iron and cook until golden and crisp (about 5–7 minutes).
- Top with warm turkey, a dollop of cranberry sauce, and either:
• Gravy for savory queens, or
• Maple syrup for the sweet-and-savory adventurers
- Eat while standing over the counter in your comfiest sweatpants like a true post-holiday champion.
It’s ridiculous. It’s delicious. It’s the ultimate “I don’t want to cook but I want something comforting” meal.
Wherever you find yourself this Thanksgiving season, I hope you know this:
You’re not alone.
You’re not too much.
You’re not behind.
You’re blooming — even when you can’t see it yet.
Thank you for being part of my world.
I’m honored to be part of yours.
Wishing you warmth, rest, and a holiday season that feels gentle on your heart. 💛
With so much love and gratitude,
Jessi

If you’re planning to curl up later with something cozy after the turkey coma or post-shopping chaos, I’ve got you. My witchy, feisty, midlife-magic novel Hot Flashes & Hexes is on Kindle (and totally free if you have Kindle Unlimited). It’s the perfect “hide from family for 20 minutes” escape hatch.
And if you missed it earlier — my Mind-Body Reset Mini-Guide is still hanging out at a special $3.99 for my readers until Dec. 1. No pressure, no rush… just a little wellness love if you want it. 💛
