To kick off the holiday season, Rachel and Tanvi dive deep into one of their favourite topics: rituals.
Why rituals? Because they’re the secret sauce of a Big Life. As Professor Michael Norton puts it, “habits automate our lives; rituals animate our lives.” And honestly, we’re here for anything that brings more spark, intention and meaning to the everyday.
We’re both deeply ritualistic people — the kind who can turn anything into a ritual. Morning coffee or chai? Done. Dinner parties? A full art form. Shopping? You should see us in a store together. We’ll caress all the different fabrics, dream aloud about the future places we’ll wear everything, and then celebrate our purchases over cold coffee.
But we also talk about the bigger rituals — the ones that create pause, reflection and community. The moments where we gather, make sense of our lives, and turn experiences into chapters.
Rituals shape who we are becoming. And in our young-ish years — these beautifully messy, transitional, experimental years — we’re all figuring out which ones will become our traditions.
Let’s get into it.
