This episode is all about why I don't believe in setting resolutions and why intentions feel so much more realistic, especially when life doesn’t go as planned. If you want a gentler way to start the new year, this is it. And if you want to go deeper into reconnecting with yourself and your creativity, my Intuitive Abstract Art online course called Mindscapes is now LIVE! Podcast listeners get 30% off with the code DRAWNIN until the end of December.

As one year ends and another begins, this episode explores the importance of letting go before moving forward. Using the symbolism of the Chinese zodiac’s transition from the Year of the Snake to the Year of the Horse, I discuss the symbolism of shedding what no longer fits in order to create space. Because sometimes, momentum doesn’t come from doing more… it comes from making room.

Last week I talked about what to do when everything feels like too much. This week, we’re looking at the other side of overwhelm - when life feels like not enough. In this episode, I'll share a simple but powerful practice called Ten Appreciations. It’s ten minutes, ten things you appreciate, & it gently shifts your energy out of that “something’s missing” mindset. I also share a little about my new online Intuitive Abstract Art course called Mindscapes, which is now live! Podcast listeners get 30% off with the code DRAWNIN through the end of December.

In this episode, I talk about finding calm in real life - in all the tiny little moments ones that actually make up your day. Those little pauses are where calm begins. I’ll walk you through why these small choices matter so much, how they build steadiness long before the big moments show up, and how mindfulness helps your body know what to do when life feels like too much.

As the year winds down, it’s easy to rush ahead, but this is a moment to pause. In this episode, I explore what mindful reflection really means: noticing where you’ve been, where you are now, and what you want to carry into the next season...and the next year. It’s not about regrets or resolutions, just gentle awareness, gratitude, & presence as we move through December with compassion for ourselves and where we've been.

The holidays can bring up a mix of emotions - stress, overwhelm, & pressure, but they can also be a chance to pause & reconnect with what’s already here. In this episode, I revisit the practice of gratitude - not as a list of things to check off, but as a mindful way of seeing. I'll share how returning to simple moments of appreciation can shift your energy, calm your nervous system, & bring a little more peace & honesty into the season...as well as make you happier and healthier overall.

This week, I'm talking about letting go - what it really means, and why it’s often the next step after learning to let things simply be.

Sometimes acceptance turns into avoidance. We hold on to old stories, ideas, relationships, or versions of ourselves because they feel safe, even when we know it’s time to release them. In this episode, I talk about how mindfulness can help us notice when something’s run its course, and how to let go with awareness, gratitude, and trust.

As the seasons change and the trees begin to release what they no longer need, we’re reminded that letting go isn’t loss - it’s giving space for new growth.

Take a breath, listen in, and let nature - and this moment - show you how to make room for what’s next.
