1224: It’s time for a rebel advent-ure!
Time to do this season a bit differently! Today’s episode is a permission slip to lean into however you do this season.
Episode transcript:
Good morning, Daily Peppers. And a very happy Friday to you. I think it's fair to say that for a lot of us, we get to this time of the year and can't believe the date. But seriously, this year, how did we get nearly December? For today's daily pep, I wanna give you a massive permission slip to lean into however you do this season. Some people love it. Some people hate it, and there is no one right way to feel. This time of the year can be complicated for so many reasons. There is a shit ton of pressure.
There is this expectation for everything to feel joyful and to be perfect but you are allowed to do it messy and you get to opt out of celebrating if you want to as well. It's so easy to imagine how you think you should be feeling, but it's one thing to do life as it is. Let alone do life pretending to be somebody you're not. So as we wrap up this week, I just simply wanna remind you that however you feel about this season is however you feel and that's okay. You are allowed to feel what you feel even if it doesn't match up with those around you. And even if, like me, you absolutely love this season and can't get enough of the fairy lights, that doesn't mean you have to say yes to all the stress. I believe it is also the season for shortcuts and for joy, but also for gentleness. Now if you want to come on a bit of a rebel adventure this December, then I have something really fun and also helpful up my sleeve.
It is time for the rebel Christmas advent calendar, which is 24 days of digital goodies to help you survive the season, to thrive in this season, to help you have a lot more fun, a lot less stress, and also add some much needed self care to this season. Behind each door is something that is either really fun or really practical to help you during December. And we have a bit of everything. We have passive aggressive Christmas bingo. We have a set of scripts to help you navigate the small talk of Christmas and people asking you how your life is. A personal favorite of mine is a workbook called let's make sure we're not absolutely fucked by the end of the year. We have a rebel holiday planner. We've got a printable zine, which is an introvert's guide to surviving festive gatherings, and so much more.
I did this for the first time last year, and it went down a real treat. So if you wanna welcome in the season rebel style, you wanna do things a bit differently, and you wanna experience the holidays with less perfectionism and pressure and more joy and creativity, come and join in the fun. It's £12 for absolutely everything, which is an absolute steal if I say so myself. It's also buy 1 gift 1, and you can come join the adventure by going to the rebel rouses.comforward/rebelchristmas. However you're feeling at this time of the year, I hope the season brings you a shit ton of unexpected joy, and you lean into the inner rebellion of really appreciating the joy and resisting the pressure. I can't wait to be back with you on Monday or on Sunday for day 1 of the Rebel Christmas advent calendar. I'll see you soon.
