Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) can make the winter months feel heavy, exhausting, and emotionally draining, especially towards the end of the season when motivation is low and spring still feels far away. In this episode, we explore what SAD really is, why February can feel harder than January, and how to support your nervous system through the final stretch of winter with compassion rather than pressure.

You’ll also hear a gentle winter survival guide, nervous-system-friendly mindset shifts, and how to get support if winter has knocked your confidence or emotional resilience.
