It’s time to prepare for Christmas! But also - to enjoy the time that leads up to it. In this episode we talk to Fiona Ferris, author of the lifestyle series of books about living a “chic” life, and an expert in simplifying things and brining joy to our everyday. Fiona shares many practical tips for stress-free December and Christmas, how Kiwis celebrate Christmas in sunny New Zealand, her favorite Christmas things and so much more! We dive into her self-publishing journey too, her love for cats and finally get inspired to create our “inspiration files” and live in tune with our inner child. We’ll talk all about the dark magic of December and the many protective rituals and traditions connected with the season, including some divination magic. I’ll tell you all about the origins of Czech Christmas cookies and of course, your Cat Coach Aragorn will share his own December wisdom.This episode includes:Important December days: Catherine’s Day, Andrew’s Day, Barbara’s Day, Lucia’s Day, Nicholas’ DayWeather Lore for Barbara’s Day (December 4)Interview with author Fiona Ferris December wisdom from your Cat Coach AragornJournaling tips for December - including a letter challenge and writing a letter to SantaFiona Ferris links:Fiona Ferris Website: How to Be ChicFiona Ferris SubstackBuy Fiona’s books on Amazon UKFiona Ferris on InstagramOther Links:Cat Coach DiariesFREE Printable Christmas Planner - THE ONE CHristmas PlannerMy Printable Christmas ChronicleCat Coach Café Season 1 December Episodes:* S01E04 Hopeful December & Planting Seeds of Magic with Sheri Fink* S01E05 Pre-Christmas Self-Care & Inside Rachel Rowlands’ CatpurrcinoCzech the RecipeSpotify PlaylistsThe Official Cat Coach Café PlaylistWinter Evenings MagicPeaceful Christmas InstrumentalsSubscribe to receive all future episodes straight to your inbox!
