In this episode, I reflect on how the winter season and the phases of the moon teach me to embrace periods of rest and transformation. I share my personal journey through challenging times, including a shattered ankle injury that forced me to reconsider my self-worth beyond productivity and navigate the cultural pressures that tie our value to constant doing.

The question is, who are YOU when you are not serving others or achieving visible results? Let's get into it :) 

There is incredible power to letting go, nourishing ourselves, and setting boundaries during the quieter months and invite you to use this season to set intentions and care for yourself in ways that support a vibrant, fulfilling year ahead.
