š¦ š šæ How is your week going?
I’m going to have a baby this week!
It will happen naturally or it will be induced because my doctors don’t want anyone of my advanced age (38, thank you very much) to go past her due date. So I’ll be holding a baby by Christmas!!
This is my last post before all hell breaks loose lol. I am officially on maternity leave for a little bit.
I’m super excited and happy to be going through this huge life change of becoming a mom with the positive community of folks I have around me, including my friends, my family, my partner and people like you who support my creative endeavors.
Thanks for reading my emails! This may be the last email I send for a little while as I get my bearings as a mom.
By the way, I love writing so much. Writing these posts isn’t really something that necessarily feels like work. It’s a creative outlet.
Thus, I might feel like posting again rather soon.
Or maybe not, I could be tired with a wee one to take care of. Not putting any pressure on myself if I want to wait months to do anything.

Either way I hope you have a fantastic holiday season, and a happy New Year.
New Video
Here’s a video I just published where I share my thoughts about how I’m planning for the new year while pregnant even though I have no idea what life will look like with a baby.
I share my process of planning on paper and also using free digital tools.
I also share reflections on this very special moment in my life,
how my goals the past year have gone while pregnant,
how I think about my priorities these days, and so on.

My Fav New Year Practice
There’s a practice I do every New Years.
I write a letter to myself ahead of time, and then read it on Jan 1st.
This is always so fun.
Even if you wrote yourself a letter today, I bet you would forget what you said and be delighted when you read it again in 2026.
āI wrote an article describing my favorite practice more in detail, which you can read here.
āThis article is free for you to read on Medium through my link above.
By the way, I have really been enjoying reading articles on Medium lately, it is a nice way to be entertained without feeling stressed from doom scrolling on social media.
Trying to reeeeelax right now.
Well, until the next email, take care and have fun!
Thanks for reading
