Description

In this episode, I'm inviting you into the quiet, often uncomfortable space of wintering—the season where clarity doesn't come from pushing forward, but from slowing down enough to listen.

We explore why the New Year's pressure to plan, produce, and "figure it all out" can actually pull us out of alignment, and how our nervous systems cling to certainty—even when what's familiar is no longer working. I share personal reflections on choosing stillness, releasing over-availability, and allowing old identities and patterns to gently die so something truer can emerge.

This conversation is an invitation to consider a different question than What's next?
What if the work right now is to intentionally not know—and trust that wisdom grows in the quiet?

We touch on Human Design, the themes behind my upcoming TEDx Asheville talk, and insights from Unstuck Yourself**—all pointing back to the same truth: rest, boundaries, and presence are not delays; they're the soil.

✨ Tune in to remember: you don't need to force the next chapter. Winter (the one within) has its own wisdom just waiting to unfold.

P.S. If this episode resonates, share it with someone who's feeling the pressure to rush ahead. Wintering is easier—and more powerful—when we remember we're not alone.
