The Glow Up Revolution

Episode 20: Burnout-Proof Your December & Step Into January Soft but Strong


Listen Later

In this cozy, compassionate episode of The Glow Up Revolution, Megan Winkler explores why December is one of the most energetically complex months of the year — and why so many high-achieving, big-hearted women feel the drain long before New Year’s Eve arrives.

Megan unpacks the emotional labor, societal expectations, and internalized pressure that cluster around the holiday season, and she offers gentle, grounding rituals to help you reclaim your energy. From setting softer boundaries to resisting the urge to “fix your whole life before January,” this episode is a nourishing reminder that rest is not only allowed; it’s necessary.

You’ll also hear how approaching the final stretch of the year with a soft-but-strong mindset can shift everything. Instead of hustling toward a single arbitrary “fresh start,” Megan reframes the year as a cyclical journey with many portals for renewal — meaning you can choose again anytime, not just on January 1st.

Whether you're already feeling the December drain or you're determined to step into the new year with more intention and less overwhelm, this episode gives you practical and energetically aligned tools to navigate the season with grace, clarity, and compassion.
