Episode Synopsis


n this episode, Nikki and Damaris take on seasonal depression with honesty, humor, and a whole lot of relatability. We unpack why the shorter days and colder weather can mess with our mood, energy, and motivation, and why feeling “off” this time of year is far more common than we admit.

Our conversation blends real talk with practical tools, from light exposure and movement that doesn’t feel like punishment, to routines, nourishment, and mindset shifts that actually fit into real life. We also laugh our way through the pressure to “just be grateful,” talk about dropping the guilt, and share ways to ask for support before burnout sets in.

Whether you’re fully in your winter feelings or just feeling a little dimmer than usual, this episode offers comfort, coping strategies, and a reminder that you don’t need to bloom in January, you just need to get through it with a little more kindness and a lot less pretending.
