Send a textThis episode is written to gift you a little extra joy amidst the holiday noise. It features a fictional Christmas story, read aloud by my sister, Annaliese Hinkin, that speaks to the parts of us feeling weary from constantly doing, stretching, pleasing, and trying to hold it all together. “To Grandmother’s House We Go” follows Etta, a warm-hearted, overextended mom, as she navigates family expectations, emotional overload, and the quiet yearning for rest she struggles to articulate. Yet, amid the clatter of dishes and the insight gained from an unexpected conversation, Etta begins to let go of an old belief: that love must be earned to be kept.If you've ever felt responsible for everyone else's experiences, if the holidays bring both tenderness and tension, or if you simply need a moment to breathe and feel understood, this story is for you. May it provide you with more than just comfort. May it encourage you to receive love, not for what you do, but simply because you are here.Looking for more seasonal resources?
