Vlogmas Unfiltered: Anxiety, $1250 Surprise, & Our New 4-Gift Rule

Vlogmas is here, but it’s not all festive lights and cozy vibes. Today, I’m sharing the raw, unfiltered side of life: dealing with mental health struggles, anxiety, imposter syndrome, and the reality of inflation hitting hard. Oh, and a $1250 surprise brake job just to top it all off. Plus, the cherry on this messy day—a complete audio malfunction during our Tea and Toastmas filming. On a brighter note, we’re making changes this Christmas to focus on what really matters. We’re introducing a new 4-Gift Rule for gift-giving this year: something you want, something you need, something to wear, and something to read. It’s helping us cut back on overspending while keeping the season meaningful and special. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the holidays or life in general, you’re not alone. Let’s chat about it and embrace the chaos together. 🎄 I love hearing from you!
