Why December Is the Best Time to Fall Back in Love with Your Business
There’s something about December that softens the edges.
Even if you’re still buried in emails and loose ends and that one project you’ve been whispering “I’ll get to you” for three months, the final weeks of the year carry their own kind of hush — a pause beneath the celebration, a quiet under the glitter.
Entrepreneurs feel it differently.
For us, December isn’t just festive — it’s reflective.
It’s the moment we stop running long enough to realize how long we’ve been running.
And every year, without fail, the same questions surface:
Do I still love what I do?
Is this business still mine — or did it drift away while I was busy keeping it alive?
Where did the excitement go?
December is honest that way. It lifts the veil and tells the truth.
But that honesty isn’t meant to scare you — it’s meant to bring you home.
Because this season, more than any other, is the perfect time to fall back in love with your business.
The Emotional Weather of December
By the time we hit late fall, most of us are exhausted in a way spreadsheets can’t measure.
Not just tired — thin.
We’ve been pouring, stretching, building, handling, sustaining… and December simply turns the lights on.
It reminds us that we’ve grown.
It reveals what we’ve outgrown.
And it gives us permission — finally — to stop long enough to hear ourselves again.
This is the moment when reflection becomes clarity, and clarity becomes direction.
A Moment of Intentional Pause
Below is something I want you to sit with — not skim, not rush past — but truly let land.
This is the truth behind every entrepreneur’s December:
A December Pause Worth Taking
For just one moment, set down the metrics. Set down the plans, the doubts, the deadlines, the constant internal voice that says, “Just push a little longer.” December isn’t asking you to push. It’s asking you to remember. Remember the early days. Remember the spark. Remember the version of you who built this because it meant something — not because it had to keep going. Let yourself return to the simple truth: You and your business are allowed to fall back in love again.Why This Audio Series Belongs in Your December
That’s why I created The Twelve Gifts of Business: A Holiday 2025 Strategy for Falling Back in Love with Your Work.
A 14-part audio series recorded in the soft edges of morning — part reflection, part storytelling, part gentle business therapy — designed to bring you back to the emotional center of the work you’ve built.
Each “gift” is a different doorway back to yourself:
ease, courage, humor, value, clarity, rhythm, belonging.
It doesn’t ask you to fix anything.
It simply asks you to come home.
A Return, Not a Reinvention
If this year has stretched you thin…
If you’ve felt disconnected from the work that once made you come alive…
If you’re ready to end the year with softness instead of striving…
Then let this December be the moment you return — not to who you were, but to the truth you’ve carried all along.
This season isn’t about finishing strong.
It’s about finishing honest.
And maybe, just maybe…
falling in love again.
A 14-part audio experience (including introduction and conclusion) that reawakens your joy, courage, and connection to the work you’ve built. Each day brings a new “gift” of story, reflection, and practice — guiding you to rediscover what makes your business a true partner, not just a project. Recorded daily live — bright, human, and deeply real — this series is part morning reflection, part celebration, part gentle business therapy for the end of the year.
