What If We Let This Be Enough?
By Tricia Scott.
Since we're still in the Christmas season soup, I wanted to keep this really simple.
Whatever this season looks like for you — however you celebrate (or don’t) — I hope it brings you moments of rest, belly laughs, breathing space, and perhaps a glass or two of Baileys.
Often at this time of year, we’re surrounded by messages about what success should look like — money, homes, careers, relationships, milestones. And those things can absolutely matter.
But they’re not the only markers of a meaningful, successful life.
What if success wasn’t just about the outer measures this year — but the inner feeling too?
How aligned you felt.
How much you laughed.
How much fun you had.
How present you were in your own life
And just a reminder, you don’t have to wrap everything up neatly by the end of the year.
Nothing needs fixing, finishing, or figuring out before January arrives.
As the year winds down, I invite you to ask yourself: What actually leaves you feeling satisfied?
Let that be enough.
For now, you’ll find me in my Christmas-themed PJs, fully committed to a festive film rotation featuring Die Hard, Love Actually, Last Christmas, and It’s a Wonderful Life. Highly recommend.
From my home to yours — I’m sending you a metric ton of love and glitter as the year comes to a close.
From all of us at Team CEO, We believe in you (always).
