A private podcast with new episodes for
each day of Yuletide.

a storytelling episode
+
guided meditation episode

Each day from December 21 - January 1

New episodes published every morning. 

Listen while you work, 
while you walk, 
on the bus, or hanging with your kiddos.


It's a 12-day mini program of European folklore, suggested rituals, and tiny meditations to keep you calm and connected through the holiday season.

• Ritual planning guides open on December 1

• Daily podcasts begin on winter solstice, Dec 21, and continue until New Year's Day

• Each day you'll receive a 10-20 minute storytelling podcast (with transcript) detailing fascinating folklore about the mystical meaning of that particular day of Yuletide (great for the whole family!)

• You'll also receive a separate 3-5 minute meditation each day to immerse yourself in a magical journey to calm, soothe, and delight your spirit

• BONUS: The meditation on January 1 will be extra long to help you call forth clarity of vision and inspiration for your year ahead


“I look forward to this every year!!! Excited to see it will arrive early so I can prepare for the rituals @carmenspagnola offers. Highly recommended for those wanting to deepen their personal experience during this charged time of year.”

This mini program is for you if:

  • If you love earth-honouring rituals
  • relate to land and non-humans as friends
  • aim for anti-capitalist festivities
  • are healing your European ancestry
  • are making memories for one this year
  • would like to have a daily fireside chat with me 
  • only have time for 3-5 minutes of self-care a day
  • want something festive to listen to with the kids that isn't all about Santa or Jesus
  • would love to have 10-15 minutes of shared family time every day as a jumping off point for conversation and craft ideas



It can also help if you:

  • feel lonely and isolated
  • get depressed or anxious this time of year
  • crave some soothing and gentleness
  • notice your nervous system is more dysregulated lately than usual 
  • would like a bit of private space to process your pandemic grief, but don't want to stay in that place
  • would like something to organize yourself around to check off the days as they go by
  • want spiritually-oriented meditations that are quick and trauma-informed
  • don't have a householder to co-regulate with on a daily basis 
    (I'll co-regulate with you!)

"The Yuletide Stocking Stuffer gives me a chance to slow down in the midst of a typically hectic time of year. It helps me reconnect with myself and those who came before me."

"I look forward to the YSS every year as it provides me a daily practice during the dark time of the year. Plus, it helps prepare me to welcome the new year."
