Make December Matter
What if this December could leave you feeling recharged and ready for 2025? Let’s Make a Plan Together.
December often gets idealized as cocoa and cookies, beautiful gifts, fun family moments, or exotic trips… but let’s be honest, it can be exhausting!
Maybe you find yourself...
- Shopping when you’ve been trying to declutter all year
- Going to holiday parties at the expense of your wellness
- Getting busy when you really want tea by a fire
- Working to finish work goals that need months not weeks
- Getting annoyed at the ones you love most
So many women end up feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, and not able to fully enjoy December. When you add in the heaviness of world events and the busyness of the fall, some of us want to hide under the covers until January!
Rethink “doing it all”
this December
Why should we start the new year feeling depleted, when we could actually enjoy the season and feel energized come January 1?
If you thought you had a long list of “to do’s” before…most of us find that it doubles during December.
What happens by default:
- The burden of being the “magic maker,” creating magazine-worthy memories
- Navigating difficult personal or political divides during “happy” holiday moments
- The traditions that everyone expects you to indulge in
But what if instead, we prioritized and planned for:
- What we actually want (despite other’s expectations)
- What our family actually needs (despite what the rest of the world is doing)
- Making a realistic, and intentional plan so that December is joyful (and not draining)
A well-planned December sets the stage for an extraordinary New Year
Let’s be honest: we’ve all felt that end-of-year pressure—wondering if we did enough, met our goals, or made the most of the year. And that self-judgment? It only leads to more stress and behavior that pulls us away from what we actually want.
That’s why Make December Matter is here. Together, we’ll create a clear, actionable plan so you can wrap up 2023 feeling grounded and step into 2024 with confidence, ready for whatever comes next.
Instead of getting swept up in all the busyness and drama, let’s create your playbook that maps out your ideal December.
During Make December Matter, you’ll create a plan for your December that includes:
- Food that nourishes you (yes, even during the holiday rush!)
- Self-care routines that keep you balanced and energized
- All things holiday—family traditions, celebrations, and commitments
- Focused time for work so you can finish the year strong
By the end of our day together, you’ll have a step-by-step plan to guide you through the final 6 weeks of 2024—one that takes into account your health, your work, your family, and holiday fun.
What past Make December Matter attendees are saying...
This is our 7th year doing Make December Matter. Each year we respond to the vibe of the season to give you the best result.
“I think the MDM workshops come at a great time to ramp up to the stressful holiday season. Although, I think this year will be different for many reasons, so maybe this will be the year many will find their rhythm thanks to your amazing workshop. I shared with 3 friends.” – Angela
“This helped a lot with clarifying how I want the holidays to feel this year. That clarity is going to make December feel more peaceful and purposeful for me”
Stephanie
“What a great day. Thank you, Mia! I really loved this format... the care you took in coordinating everything... meditations, meals, time for walks. So well done.” — Jenna
“I feel that I am more of a role model to my kids- I’m staying calm and present while also productive. I like the planning aspect because it means that we are all looking forward to a positive future.” — Brigid
“I’ve been feeling so overwhelmed and taking this time to listen and come up with ways to self nurture myself right now and making the days count in such a crazy time.” — Sarah
“Thank you Mia for putting on this planning event! I loved it last year and this year is just as good! I love the associated planning sheets as well!”
— Cynthia
“I have gotten and am getting so much out of this! Thank you for putting it together - I am so glad I made time for it. What a great gift it was - THANK YOU!” — Elisabeth
“I think we all get so caught up in the daily grind that we forget what slowing down, breathing and refreshing our plan feels like.” — Melissa
A note from Mia....
My wellness adventure became a full-blown ride about 15 years ago when I understood the power food could have on my health, my family connection, and my productivity. That experience led me to become a student of life. I have studied mindfulness, yoga, coaching, entrepreneurship, parenting, mindset, and relationships, to name a few.
At the foundation of Make December Matter are two unforeseen gifts from this journey. First, the practice of finding time to plan, especially at times when my plate feels so very full at work and home. Second, the gift of a restorative December.
Today, I get “simple,” but this process continues to transform my favorite season. When I started all this, my kids were 1, 3, and 6. This holiday season, they are 15, 18, and 21. It’s different and just as important now as it was 14 years ago to pause in November and end my year with intention.
Join me and make a plan for all the parts of your best December. I promise that everyone in your house will thank you!
With love,
Mia

December can be exhausting!
It’s easy to get caught up in festive “shoulds” and put off what you really want until the new year. Let’s create a new holiday blueprint — so you don’t waste another moment living someone else’s dream.
