‘Tis the season, my sweet friend!

No matter what you need right now — whether it’s a last minute gift idea for your sweetheart, or an epic podcast to listen to while you whip up a batch of gluten-free gingerbread — I’ve got you covered!

Here’s a round-up of some of my FAVORITE things from 2024, shared with love from my heart to yours.


3 Last Minute Gift Ideas

Need a special something for that special someone? Here are 3 epic options:

1. Wholy Mama Journal

I’m gifting all my mama friends a copy of this for Christmas. This gorgeous guided journal is full of inspiring prompts and opportunities for reflection. It’s been a mainstay of my daily routine for years now, and I’m completely obsessed with it.

2. Time Magic

This book is the PERFECT gift for anyone who loves productivity hacks, has big goals, feels time poor, struggles with overwhelm, or who simply wants to get more done with less stress. (And honestly, who doesn’t?!)

It would make a truly excellent gift for: aunts, uncles, parents, husbands, wives, girlfriends, boyfriends, besties, and pretty much ANYONE!

3. Hydrogen Breathing Machine or any of their amazing products. 

This one might sound a bit wild, but trust me — the energy boost I’ve felt since using it has been incredible. It’s all about flooding your body with hydrogen for better recovery and overall vitality.

For your holiday listening pleasure, I’ve pulled together 5 episodes from the past year that are one THOUSAND percent worth a listen or relisten.

#4. Episode 573 – #1 Love Coach: “This Is The Secret To A More Fulfilling Love Life” | Matthew Hussey

#3. Episode 590 – The EXACT Daily Habits & Foods That Helped Me Generate Over $11M In My Business

Epic Recs From 2024

This year, I broke my ankle while pregnant… Let me tell you, it was a journey!

But, one silver lining of all that forced downtime was getting the chance to dive deep into some amazing shows, podcasts, and more that I might not have had time for otherwise. 

So if you’re looking for some recommendations to binge over the holiday season, I’ve got you covered!

️ Nobody Wants This (Netflix) – If you love the charm of 90s rom-coms but with a modern twist, you need to watch this. It had me hooked from start to finish!

Emily in Paris – It’s fluffy, it’s fashionable, and it’s the perfect dose of Parisian daydreams. Watching Emily navigate life in Paris is pure fun and takes me back to my year living there dancing at the Moulin Rouge… so fun!

The Kardashians – I love watching how they all run their businesses and lives — it’s super fascinating.

The Idea of You – This movie just hit differently. It’s a love story that’s unexpected and beautifully told. If you haven’t seen it yet, definitely add it to your list and bring the tissues at the end (or maybe that was just the pregnancy hormones?!).

Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE — I attended a professional performing arts academy after high school, and this reality series took me straight back to those days. I was mesmerized watching these hugely talented girls compete to be in a K-Pop group — um, and I have strong feelings about the ending!

America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders — Can you sense a theme here?! I’m in awe of the talent these women have and it makes me want to high kick all the way to dance class. I’m so excited to get back into dance class one day. Maybe we could start our own cheer squad. Who’s keen? 

Books I’ve Loved This Year  

If you’re in the mood for captivating stories or personal growth inspiration, these are my top picks — 

Matthew McConaughey’s Greenlights – This one had me hooked. It’s stacked with funny stories, crazy antics, and GOLDEN life lessons. His journey is one that’ll make you rethink what it means to embrace every opportunity. (I’ve heard that the audiobook version is epic too!)

Matthew Perry’s Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing – This one is deep, emotional, and surprisingly honest. He opens up about his struggles in ways that left me with so much compassion for him. If you’re a Millennial babe like me, and you grew up watching Friends, this will hit hard. RIP, Chandler Bing.

Will Smith’s Will – Whoa. This memoir is a wild ride, with fascinating insights into Will’s approach to hard work, family, and what it means to be yourself. If you want a jolt of motivation wrapped up in the grit and glamor of Hollywood, check it out.

E.L. James’s Fifty Shades of Grey Trilogy – I know, I know: I’m late to the party here! But I was obsessed. The entire trilogy had me flipping pages like a crazy woman.

3 Things I’m Grateful for in 2024

// My family

Being a mother is the honor of a lifetime. Doing it with Nick by my side is a dream come true. My gratitude knows no bounds.

// My body & health

After months of being unable to walk properly, then witnessing my body heal itself while also growing a baby… honestly, our bodies are pure miracles. I have a renewed sense of gratitude for this incredible temple and all that it’s capable of.

// And finally, I’m deeply grateful for… YOU!

As 2024 comes to a close, I want to take a moment to reflect on the year that’s been. 

It’s been a journey of growth, discovery, and so many unforgettable moments — none of which would’ve been possible without your support.

I’m truly thankful for your presence, and I don’t take it for granted. Thank you for letting me be part of your world, your inbox, and your life.

I can already feel that next year holds something truly special, and I’m sending you all the love, best wishes, and high-vibe energy for what’s to come.

Wishing you the most magical, love-filled holiday season, Beautiful.
