Back with another recorded conversation,
and I sat down for a virtual coffee to chat about creating a sense of retreat, right at home…With the delight of Twixmas fast upon us - that sweet spot between Christmas and New Year, where time seems to extend in the most magical way - many of us (I speak for myself at least!) will be looking forward to some restful downtime after a busy year. For others, these weeks of early December may be the calm before the storm, as family visit from far and wide for the festive season, with no sight of downtime until 2025 is already underway.
Whether you’re wondering how to spend the upcoming days of cosy calm, or how to find some inner peace among all the Christmas chaos, this episode of Navigating Life with Ease has you covered.
Tanya shares some expert tips for creating an aura of retreat right at home, even if you have a houseful of welcome guests, and making the most of the small pleasures and natural elements to find much-needed headspace without having to travel to far-flung sunnier climes.
We also talk of different kinds of retreats for different times, and how to figure out, through journaling, what sort of time and space you’re really craving.
With chat on books and Baileys, feelings and festive traditions, grab a cuppa and tune in for a two Welsh women having a natter.
