In this issue: Change doesn’t require the perfect holiday or the perfect plan—it starts with one conscious act. Learn how to spot the system you’re in, make one empowering choice, and shift the trajectory of your holiday season—starting now.
Featuring insights from Judith, Bob, and the LiveWright Team.
You don’t need to leave your family to find yourself.
You just need to stop leaving yourself behind.
A client came to me years ago feeling trapped in her holiday dynamic.
She wasn’t fighting with anyone, but she didn’t feel like herself—she was over-smiling, over-hosting, and secretly dreaming of a quieter, more honest experience.
Together, we created a simple morning assignment: every day, she’d take a walk—just 10 minutes—and ask herself one thing: “What do I want to feel today, and how can I give myself a little of that?”
That question changed everything. She began approaching her days differently. She showed up more present. She began enjoying her own company.
And she found that people connected with her more, not less, when she dropped the performance.

Tomorrow morning, ask:
• What would a day that honors me look like?
• What’s one way I can embody that feeling?
Then do it. Even if it’s small.

You can still close the year with clarity, power, and self-respect. The story isn’t finished yet.
Every year, I talk to people who prepare to suffer. They would like the holidays to go differently, but they do not plan differently.
As a result, they end up collapsing into the same roles, reactions, and family patterns.
Not because they’re weak—but because they were never taught how to be on their own side.
Most of us learned early on to trade authenticity for approval or getting by. We learned to manage other people’s comfort at the cost of our own. And the holidays tend to bring up old scripts we thought we had left behind.
But here’s the truth:
With a little anticipation, you can see things anew and rewrite those scripts.
Being on your own side is a developmental practice of waking up to the unconscious forces at play within and around us. As we awaken to the systems and roles everyone is playing and leave behind our own drama and victimhood, we can develop an internal locus of control.
That means, we operate each moment to our own higher values—showing up real, grounded, and genuine, even if others don’t fully agree with you.
That’s the ideal state for visiting family. And yes, you can learn it.

Take 10 minutes today. Look at your week and ask:
“What’s the role I historically sink into and what is one small change that would put me back on my own side?”
Make that change today. One aware change at a time leads to a different holiday.
One holiday becomes the next version of you.
Tomorrow night, we’ll go much deeper:
• Why you default to habit rather than authentic expression around certain people
• How to recognize limiting roles and develop a stronger internal locus of control
• How to stay alert and more authentic instead of collapsing
• How to build holidays that get better every year

It’s not too late. As long as you’re alive and breathing, you can step back into your power.

Don’t brace for more of the same. The moment to change the trajectory of your holidays—and your year—is here.
Maybe the season already feels like it’s moving fast. Maybe you’ve already fallen into familiar roles. Maybe you’re just hoping to “get through it.”
But there is, indeed, a door open. And tomorrow night, we’re going to show you how to step through it.
People are often shocked at how much is possible even at the very end of the runway. When you pause and ask yourself:
“What kind of holiday do I want to live?”
—you begin to reclaim something essential: your agency, your presence, your self-trust.
That’s the heart of internal power.
That’s what tomorrow is about.
⭐ Try This
Before bed tonight, journal for 2 minutes:
• What would it feel like to move through this season on my own side?
• What’s one thing that would help me live that?
Bring those answers with you to our free webinar tomorrow. They’re the raw material for your developmental work.

Judith reminded us: one moment can bring you back to yourself.
Bob showed us: it’s never too late to stand on your own side.
And we’ll remind you: your next holiday can be better than the last—and the one after that, better still.
That’s what development is. That’s what tomorrow night is for.
