Welcome to Week 9 of 12 Weeks of Wintering! We're exploring Transformation, how true change happens and why it takes more time than we think.

Hear about the ACT framework (Awareness → Choice → Transformation) that my own coach introduced me to, and why it's been such a game-changer for understanding why new insights don't immediately translate into new behaviors. You'll learn:

• Why awareness is the crucial first step before any change can happen
• How to build the muscle of noticing before you can make different choices
• Why giving yourself time and grace is essential for lasting transformation

12 Weeks of Wintering is a practice I'm sharing while I'm on parental leave. Each week offers a Wintering theme, with a minisode like this, an email companion, and reflection prompt so you can add some Being back into all your Doing.

Join the free Wintering Club to add community and accountability to your being practice! You'll find:

• Access to a private Slack chat where you can respond to a prompt around each week's theme and connect with other creatives doing this work
• Monthly virtual meet-ups to unpack the practices, facilitated by Angie Lake (who'll be holding down the fort while I'm on leave)
• Think of this as a coaching practice you can take at your own pace. It's an invitation to reset and make time for the reflection and just being that you've been putting off.

Join my email list and share this with others to get the rest of 12 Weeks of Wintering in your inbox, and to hear when I return from leave in the spring.
