As the light changes, so can our energy. Eimear talks candidly about noticing a seasonal melancholy—darker mornings, cloudy days, and that “dim” feeling—and how she began intentionally tending her inner flame.

You’ll hear:

• Why seasonal changes (less daylight → serotonin down, melatonin up) can affect mood.
• A 5-step Spark Reconnection Practice:
  1. Ground in the body (presence + breath)
  2. Name the numbness (permission, no judgment)
  3. Micro-moments of joy (small, scheduled lifts)
  4. Reignite meaning (one tiny act aligned with what matters)
  5. Integrate with ritual (a simple daily practice to tend your light)
• One proven action that helps many people: get real morning daylight (aim for 10–30 minutes before 10 a.m.).

This isn’t about forcing positivity. It’s about feeding your own light—gently, intentionally, one small moment at a time.
