If you’re anything like me, presence doesn’t come naturally — productivity does.

During the holidays especially, my instinct is to fix, plan, research, and optimize. But I’ve realized that constantly doingcan quietly pull me away from the moments that matter most.

In this episode, I’m sharing why presence feels so hard for me, and the simple, tangible things I’m doing this Christmas week to choose presence over productivity — imperfectly, but intentionally.

Nothing fancy. Just real-life shifts that are creating more peace, connection, and togetherness in our home.

• Why presence can feel uncomfortable or anxiety-producing
• How productivity can become a coping mechanism
• The phone boundary I’m using this week
• Simple, low-stress ideas to create connection
• How we’re prioritizing marriage and rest
