“It's okay, somebody else's truth can be theirs. And if we can, being able to have conversations around it is always nice. But if we can’t, to just understand that their way of giving and receiving is okay. And same with ourselves. We don't have to react back or take it personally, which is not always easy.”

As the holiday season approaches, there's a weighty question on many of our minds - how do we navigate the delicate dance of giving and receiving? From personal experiences, our hosts, Jessica Armstrong and McKenzie Raymond, have learned that this journey touches not just the realm of physical gifts, but also taps into our deep-seated feelings of self-worth and entitlement.

Join in as our hosts candidly share their struggles with giving and accepting gifts and the discomfort that sometimes follows. We've all heard or said, "You didn't have to do that." But what if we shifted that narrative to one of grace and gratitude? After all, every gift received is an opportunity to express joyous thankfulness to the giver, turning the simple act of receiving into a meaningful, reciprocal exchange.

Jessica and McKenzie venture into the realm of energy and abundance. Let's remember, a gift is not always material - sometimes, the most valuable present is simply being there for someone. In the end, everyone has their own form of giving and receiving, and that’s okay. So, as we prepare for the holiday season, let's open our hearts to graciously give and receive in all forms, finding joy in the moments we share.
