A Gentle Pause For The Holidays

You deserve to hear the truth from a real voice: we’re taking a brief holiday pause—and it comes from care, not distance. Sharona steps up to share why this choice matters, how Master Silk surprised the team with time away in Lake Tahoe and Paris, and the promise that we’re still here for you. No full episode this week, but the line stays open, the messages get answered, and the connection remains intact.

This year has held a lot: joy that kept us moving and heaviness that kept us honest. We talk about rest as a deliberate act, not a disappearance—a way to protect the work, the people behind it, and the community that turns a show into a shared space. You’ll hear our gratitude for every story you sent, every late-night listen, and every quiet moment where the right words mattered. We also name what many feel during the holidays: the ache of loss, the weight of uncertainty, and the need for warmth when traditions shift.

Consider this a collective exhale before the new year. We’re stepping back to return stronger—rested, grounded, and ready to pour into conversations that lift, steady, and challenge in the best way. If you need a sign to slow down, to say no, to choose presence over pace, here it is. We’ll be back after the new year with fresh energy and deeper focus. If this pause resonates, share the message with someone who could use it, subscribe so you don’t miss our return, and leave a review telling us where you need peace most right now.

Hey family, this is Sharona. I wanted to come on myself and speak to you directly because you deserve to hear this from a real voice with real feeling behind it. There will be no full podcast episode this week. We are taking a brief pause for the holidays. And I want you to know this was not an easy decision. Master Silk surprised all of us in the most thoughtful way. He is taking the entire team to Lake Tahoe and then on to Paris so we can rest, breathe, and spend a little time together before stepping into a new year. Silk gives so much of himself to this platform, to the people who listen, and to the countless messages he answers quietly behind the scenes. He carries a lot, more than most people ever see. And even this pause comes from a place of care, not distance. Now, let me say this clearly, because I know some of you may be wondering. Silk is a workaholic. That part of him does not change. He will still have his phone, he will still have his laptop, he will still be available to those of you who reach out because connection is who he is. He would never abandon his listeners. He would never walk away from the people who trust him. That is simply not in his nature. This is not a goodbye. It is a moment to exhale. This year has been heavy for so many of us. There has been joy, yes, but also loss, uncertainty, and long nights where encouragement mattered. And through it all, you stayed with us, you listened, you shared your stories, you allowed this space to be something meaningful in your lives. That means everything to us. So this message carries two emotions at the same time: gratitude for you, tenderness for the pause. As we step into the holidays, we wish you peace where you need it most, comfort where the season feels hard, and warmth, even if your celebration looks different this year. From all of us, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a hopeful, gentle new year. We will be back after the new year, rested, grounded, and deeply thankful for you. Until then, please take care of yourselves and know that you are never forgotten.
