Every year you tell yourself this is the year you'll really unplug.
Then December hits and you're:
- Checking sales notifications between bites of pie
- Answering DMs while the kids open presents
- Promising yourself you'll just quickly check one thing
So I asked the people who actually step away.
Off for the Holidays is a free magazine where business owners pull back the curtain on how they keep things running while they're gone.
And here's what you'll notice as you read: none of it happened the week of.
Every setup in these pages was handled ahead of time. A calm December is built now, in October.
What's inside
A behind-the-scenes look inside the real businesses of people I trust, and what keeps running while they're gone.
- When one contributor actually starts her holiday prep (it's earlier than anyone expects)
- The question one contributor asks before the holidays that has nothing to do with getting more done
- The Thanksgiving that made one contributor swear off working holidays for good
- How to spot the one thing in your business most likely to fall apart the second you step away
- A free resource from every contributor, linked right inside the magazine
Meet the contributors
These aren't random names. They're business owners I know and trust, sharing what keeps running while they step away.

About your host
Hey, I'm Lucy and I'm in the business of overwhelm.
Removing it, that is. For solopreneurs just like you, by helping them build simple systems and sustainable rhythms so they can feel accomplished, even when the to-do list isn't done.
I'm a wife, a mom of two, and I've built my business in the scattered pockets of time real life allows. I created this magazine because I wanted to see how other business owners actually step away, not just hear that they do.
Rest is easier when the work is already handled.
I want you fully in it this year. Pajamas until noon, cookies baking midday, your favorite movies on repeat with the kids, your phone nowhere to be seen, and your business nowhere in your thoughts.
My hope is this issue helps you plan for a holiday season where you're not just physically in the room, but mentally present, relaxed, and at peace. 😌
