December can be tricky for creators. You're juggling work, family, exhaustion, and the pressure to "finish strong." It's the time of year when you either burn out trying to keep up or disappear altogether.
The truth is, you don't need to post every day or stay perfectly polished. But you also don't need to vanish until January. The people who follow your work want to see you even if it's quieter, simpler, or a little unfiltered.
The biggest mistake creative brands make during this season is treating visibility like an all-or-nothing thing. Either you're "on" and selling or you're "off" and silent. But your audience doesn't need more noise from you. They just need proof that you're still there. Still creating. Still human.
December is actually one of the best times to connect, because the expectations are lower. People are slowing down. They're looking for warmth, humor, and a little reality in a season that's full of performance. You can give them that.
You don't need to reinvent your feed to show up. You just need to share something that feels true to where you are right now.
So here's your Challenge from the Grove.
Record a video showing one real behind-the-scenes moment of your month.
It could be you wrapping up a project, cleaning your workspace, packaging something, decorating, or just talking about what December looks like for you. It doesn't need to be deep or aesthetic. It just needs to feel like you.
Tag @glintgrovestudio and use #ChallengeFromTheGrove so we can see your December moments too.
Sometimes showing up is as simple as saying, "I'm still here."
