Ep. 16 Finding Peace as Christmas Approaches

A Gentle Pause Before Christmas
Finding rest, presence, and peace in the days leading up to Christmas
As Christmas draws near, many of us feel the quiet tension between anticipation and exhaustion. The calendar is full, emotions run close to the surface, and the pressure to “make it meaningful” can quietly weigh on our hearts.
In this episode of Sipping on Wellness, Kerry invites you into a gentle pause before the holiday arrives. This is not about doing more or getting everything right—it’s about slowing down, tending to your nervous system, and creating space to be present with God and with yourself in the days just before Christmas.
We explore why this season can feel so tender, how rest and reflection prepare us to receive rather than strive, and how faith invites us to trust God’s presence even before the celebration begins. With simple encouragement, a short scripture reflection, and a calming close, this episode offers a moment of grounding for anyone feeling stretched, tired, or quietly longing for peace.
If you’re craving stillness, perspective, and a reminder that you don’t have to carry Christmas alone—this episode is for you.
