Hi darlin! I am breaking out the chocolate ice cream as we speak!!! I know I said we’d do a livestream, but I gotta tell you just getting the “studio” set up for this one took it out of me, so I decided to record it instead. That way I wouldn’t have to add troubleshooting a livestream to my day:)This takes us to the value of acceptance and the beauty of the pivot.

Both can make life a lot easier and fun- and are of great use in stressful situations like The Holidays (place echo sound effect here).

Enjoy my first “not-so-live” stream since pandemic times. Me, my dog, my fish tanks, and a camera that almost didn’t survive the setup. If you’ve been wrestling with perfection or wondering how to stay sane (and maybe even joyful) through the holiday swirl, pull up a chair.

Inside this cozy chaos:

* The legend of the six-fingered cover goddess—and why I kept her that way.

* A few deep breaths, a little laughter, and some truth about good enough being sacred.

* A peek inside the Better Homes & Boundaries: Holiday Edition zine—including your official Permission Not to Engage permission slip.

* Real talk about energy, imperfection, and finding joy when the world says “more, more, more.”

This isn’t Martha Stewart. This is midlife, magic, and the moments no one posts about.So, grab your tea or cacao, take three breaths with me, and remember—you’re loved. Exactly as you are.

Now I must keep the dog from eating whatever it is I tossed on the floor when I cleared my desk to make room for the Studio:)Love you!Jenni

P.S. Don’t forget — preorders for the Better Homes & Boundaries 3-Zine Bundle are still open! Once we hit 10 orders, it all goes to print (and into your hands before Thanksgiving). Choose your own price — minimum $49 — and be part of this perfectly imperfect little experiment.

Not into the printed bundle but want a digital version? Become a Studio Member. Or if you’d like to share in the celebration, you can buy me an ice cream via venmo @jenni-tooley
