Your December brain will appreciate this

Hello Reader 👋​
It’s Stéphanie, arriving with something your December brain might actually welcome:

a small sigh of relief instead of another
“DO MORE BEFORE YEAR-END!” message.

And as always, if you want me to call you by a different name, reply and tell me.
Details matter… especially in a month where everything feels like too much.

​

Quick confession:
I tried really hard to show up this month like a “proper online business owner.”

You know the drill:

end-of-year momentum,
launches everywhere,
shiny promos,
big announcements,

the whole December circus!

My inbox looked like it was auditioning for a stress documentary.
​Maybe yours too?

And somewhere between my quarterly Accelerator weekend, finishing a deep-dive Snapshot for a member, and trying to focus on what I should offer next…

I caught myself doing something ridiculous:

I was mentally designing group offers…
for people who barely have the energy to open their laptop.

Including me.

So I did the adult thing.
I stopped pretending December brains want “more.”

Because let’s be honest…

December brains want:

• less noise,
• one good decision,
• and zero emotional hangovers.

When I paused long enough to listen, I realized this:

I don’t want to launch something for “as many people as possible” again.
I want to sit with one creator at a time and help them make a clear next move that actually fits their business.

That’s where my Experience Mindset kicks in — not in mass offers, but in real conversations.

One person.
One conversation.
One clear next move.
One creator who stops spiraling and starts breathing again.

Maybe that’s you right now. Maybe not.
I’m not attaching meaning to it.

But if you’ve been feeling that foggy cocktail of:

“I should be doing more…”

mixed with

“I actually want to hide under a blanket…,”

then congratulations — you’re a human creative in December!
And you’re officially normal 😆

And here’s the part I can help with:

If your brain is exhausted but your heart still wants next year to feel different…
I’m shifting my work toward smaller, deeper, more personal ways of helping.

Nothing loud.
Nothing hyped.
Nothing that requires a spreadsheet to understand.

Just one clean question I’ll leave you with today:

What’s the decision you’ve been avoiding because you’re afraid it’s the wrong one?

If you want to tell me, hit reply.

If not, let the question sit with you — it tends to do interesting things on its own.

More soon (the anti-hustle kind).

Psssst… If you felt even a tiny spark reading this, consider it your creative self tapping you on the shoulder. It rarely taps twice.

NOTE: I’m moving things around in the backend to make room for a new project. Can you help me spot “bad experiences” regarding my site, your members’ area, communications, or whatever? I would really appreciate your help with this! It will make it so much easier for me to fix and improve everything that needs attention. Thank you!
