Drawing from our unique life stages—Fiona navigating her early 20s in New York City and Marta reflecting on life in my 50s—we explore the profound ways self-care connects mind, body, and spirit. Together, we delve into balancing life’s demands, nurturing authenticity, and building meaningful connections that uplift and empower.

Are you in a season of transition? Ahead of the winter solstice—that magical day with the shortest period of daylight and longest night of the year—Marta reflects on what it means to "be the light" as the world darkens around us. Weaving together personal stories, reflections, and actionable insights, she explores the duality of light and darkness, teaching us to honor the cycles of life, embrace stillness, and trust the inevitable return of the light. Light: if we want to see it, we have to be it.

The solstice reminds us that life is cyclical: darkness and light, beginnings and endings, rest and action, life and death all come and go, each in their own seasons. Join Marta in the episode to discover guidance on navigating these seasons with fortitude and intentionality.
