Show Notes
 In this first episode back after winter break, I head out for a snowy walk and reflect on what it means to begin a new year from winter energy rather than urgency. Instead of pushing for big resolutions or immediate action, this episode explores the value of slower starts, limited capacity, and honoring the quieter, underground phases of growth.
We talk about seasonal cycles, perimenopause, nervous system pacing, and the tension many of us feel between collective New Year momentum and what our bodies are actually asking for. I share a personal reflection on creative timing, resisting the pressure to rush ideas into form, and trusting that what’s meant to grow needs the right conditions — not speed.
This episode is an invitation to soften into January, listen for your true rhythm, and allow beginnings to be gentle, internal, and emergent.
