In this episode, we take a moment to reflect on the importance of rest, both in our bodies and within the ecosystems we care for. As winter settles in, it’s vital to remember that this season naturally invites us to slow down, retreat inward, and regenerate, even as our culture encourages the opposite. Through the lens of gardening and seasonal wisdom, I examine how our industrial food system has all but eliminated rest, and what that teaches us about imbalance in ourselves. Whether you’re feeling stretched thin by holiday demands or simply craving permission to pause, this episode offers a gentle reminder that it’s okay to slow down.Tune in to learn more about:Why winter invites us to slow down and go inwardHow cultural expectations clash with natural seasonal rhythmsThe value of rest in the garden, and why abundance depends on itWhat the industrial food system reveals about exhaustion and extractionRecognizing your body’s cues for restWhy I don’t celebrate the “new year” on January 1stHow creating spaciousness nurtures creativity and clarityAnd on that note, we’ll be taking a break from the podcast until January 2026.
