After a several-month hiatus, Donna returns with perfect timing - right in the thick of winter's darkest, coldest weeks. This deeply honest episode explores what happens when you can't just hibernate like you want to because you have deadlines, meetings, and a new venture that requires you to keep showing up.

From feeling guilty about not maintaining fall's pace to questioning why New Year's resolutions never work in January, Donna shares her real-time struggle with winter energy while offering gentle permission to honor the season. She explores the myth of "New Year, New You," why nature's dormancy is happening for a reason (including under her own greenhouse!), and how to give yourself breaks even when you can't fully stop.

This isn't about forcing productivity or pushing through - it's about recognizing that germination happens underground where you can't see it, and that rest IS productive work during winter's slumber.

"What if rest IS productive? What if this time of reading and resting, napping, planning, dreaming is the best thing we can do?

You are on the right path. Take time today to reflect, manifest, and raise your vibration.
