The Quiet Work of Loving Well!

 February 10, 2026


 

In today’s episode, I’m inviting you into a quieter, more tender conversation about what it really means to love well.

This has been a season full of anticipation and preparation in my life — birthdays, babies, travel, knitting projects, extra food on the stove, and lots of behind-the-scenes tending. And on the very same day I recorded this, I was also having a deeply tender day myself — the kind of day that requires real care, emotional honesty, and support.

In this episode, I share how the quiet work of loving well often starts with tending to ourselves — especially when life feels full, emotional, or demanding. I talk about how caring for your inner life doesn’t shrink your joy, but actually expands your capacity for it.

We’ll explore:

  • What the quiet work of loving well actually looks like in everyday life

  • How anticipation and preparation shape the way we love

  • Why making extra, planning ahead, and living with intention matter more than we think

  • The importance of receiving care just as much as giving it

  • How ordinary acts, done with love, shape a meaningful and joyful life

This episode is a gentle reminder that love doesn’t always look loud or dramatic. Often, it looks like knitting a scarf, making an extra batch of soup, tending to your own heart, and showing up with intention — again and again.

I hope this conversation encourages you to slow down, soften, and notice how love is already expanding your life in quiet, beautiful ways.
