5 NOV 2025 · The holidays can be a tender time — full of joy, love, and also that quiet ache of missing someone you wish could be with you. In this heartfelt episode, we open up about what it feels like to miss the people we love — whether they’ve passed away or they’re simply too far to reach this year.
Ashley shares about missing her bubbie and grandpa, and Jacqui talks about the deep longing for her dad, as well as the distance that comes from loved ones being states away. Together, we talk about how to hold both grief and joy in the same breath — how to honor our loved ones through small, meaningful rituals while still allowing ourselves to experience peace and happiness this season.
We’re choosing to let love lead — saying yes to the little things that bring us joy, slowing down enough to notice the magic around us, and remembering that honoring someone you miss can also mean honoring yourself.
If you’re feeling the weight of missing someone this holiday season, you’re not alone. 🕯️
Grab a cozy blanket, pour a warm drink, and come sit with us.

29 OCT 2025 · This week, we’re giving ourselves permission to break the rules — the invisible ones that tell us we have to do it all, please everyone, and never slow down.
Because here’s the truth: you can love your people deeply and need rest. You can show up for others and protect your peace. You can rewrite what this season looks like — for you.
We’re talking about…
✨ Letting go of mom guilt and old expectations
✨ How different seasons of life require different energy
✨ Saying “yes” only to what truly brings you joy
✨ Remembering that your kids will cherish the cozy moments — not the grand gestures
✨ Blocking time to recharge (because your peace matters, too)
This episode feels like a warm reminder that you don’t have to compare your pace, your traditions, or your capacity to anyone else’s — not even your own from last year. The version of you right now deserves care, grace, and space to breathe.
So grab your coffee (or cocoa) and let’s talk about building a holiday season that feels good — not perfect. You’re doing a beautiful job, friend.
💗 🎧 Listen now and take a deep breath with us — it’s okay to do it your way.

22 OCT 2025 · This week, we’re slowing down, getting cozy, and catching up — because let’s be honest, this time of year moves fast, and sometimes we forget to just breathe and enjoy it. ☕✨
In this episode, we’re chatting all about The Cozy Edit — our brand-new newsletter designed to bring a little more warmth, calm, and inspiration into your everyday routine. We’ll talk about why we created it, what you can expect inside (think cozy favorites, affirmations, recipes, and self-love reflections), and how it ties into the bigger mission of Hermit Haven: helping you reconnect with yourself and find joy in the quiet corners of life.
It’s a mix of heart-to-heart chats, holiday energy, and gentle reminders that you don’t have to do everything to create something magical — you just have to do what feels right for you. 🎀
So grab your coffee, light a candle, and come hang out with us for a cozy catch up — we can’t wait to share what’s next.

17 SEP 2025 · ✨ If You Had the Time… Would You Rather? ✨
This week we’re blending heart + play by kicking off our Time Series with a fun game: Would You Rather — Time Edition! From quick five-minute resets to dreamy full days, we’re asking each other (and you!) what we’d choose if time was in our hands.
💭 Would you rather sip coffee slowly or have a 10-minute dance party?
🍪 Would you rather bake cookies or dive into a Disney-inspired craft?
🏰 Would you rather spend a half-day at Disney or plan the coziest staycation?
Some of these are silly, some are deep, but all of them get us thinking about how time and passion are connected — and how the smallest choices can spark the biggest joy.
✨ Takeaway: When you pair time with passion, it never feels wasted. Even the tiniest moments can feel magical when you spend them with intention.
So grab your coffee, cozy up, and play along with us. We’d love to hear your answers, too. 💌
