This season, give the gift of time well spent by the sea. 🌊 Each of our Day by the Sea retreats is a blend of thoughtful reflection and connection, designed to leave you feeling lighter, clearer, and inspired in this vibrant middle chapter of life. You can give the experience to someone who would love the chance to slow down and breathe in the coastal air — or maybe gift it to yourself (we won’t tell).

There comes a time when we stop forcing ourselves into spaces that drain us and start creating ones that feel right. In this thoughtful piece from Talisha Matheson, she shares how, as an introvert, midlife has been a turning point — an invitation to redefine connection, set boundaries, and embrace socializing (especially during the holidays) in ways that feel authentic. Because connection shouldn’t mean self-denial. Whether it’s choosing smaller gatherings over big events, or simply learning to say “no” with confidence, there’s a quiet power in honouring our own needs. “It's not until midlife that many of us realize that we are not broken and our nature is not something to hide but to embrace.” For all the introverts finding their voice, their pace, and their people: this one’s for you.

What if the most meaningful gathering this season wasn’t around the dinner table, but within yourself? InHabit Life counsellor Eric Strom explores Internal Family Systems therapy: a roadmap to understanding the many parts of ourselves. From the ‘fiery first responders’ to the ‘protective managers’ and ‘tender exiles,’ this framework helps quiet inner chaos and brings our whole self into harmony. Curious to try it? Here’s a simple exercise: next time you’re faced with a decision, pause and notice how you feel. Can you identify the ‘parts’ weighing in — an inner critic, a younger version of yourself, or maybe a playful voice? Listen to each, validate their concerns, and let your wisest self lead the way. Because when we gather and listen to all the parts of who we are, we show up to life (and to others) with more presence, peace, and self-compassion.
