In this episode, Mike reflects on the final stretch of 2025 — a year marked by intensity, and now, exhaustion. After running hot from August through early November, the season shifted, and life asked him to slow down, recover, and honor the deeper rhythms at play. This episode is an invitation to listen to your body, feel the energetic cycles, and stop trying to turn winter into summer.

Key Takeaways

1. You Are Always in a Season — Whether You Realize It or Not
   When you learn to live in tune with the energy around you, resistance disappears.
2. Most of Us Try to Force Summer in the Middle of Winter
   The grind mindset disconnects you from your body, your truth, and your spiritual rhythm.
3. Each Season Has a Role: Spring Plants, Summer Grows, Fall Harvests, Winter Rests
   Your business, body, and soul follow the same cycles — when you let them.
4. Burnout Happens When You Ignore the Season You’re In
   Pain and sickness are often messages from the body that you're out of sync.
5. Goal Setting Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All
   If goals light you up, great. If they drain you, there's another way to move forward.
