Turn the Winter Blues Into Fuel: Small Daily Habits That Change Everything Ep 52
Welcome to Season 6 of Newvision Oldways — and what a way to kick it off.
In this powerful and deeply relatable episode, I dive into a reality so many of us face each year: the shift into winter, the darkening days, the emotional heaviness, and the dreaded holiday pressure cooker. But instead of accepting the winter slump as inevitable, I offer an inspired roadmap for transforming it into one of the most meaningful seasons of growth.
This episode explores:
Why Winter Affects Us More Than We Realize
I break down the brain chemistry behind seasonal fatigue, mood drops, carb cravings, and the emotional turbulence that often arrives with shorter days. From melatonin to serotonin, we gain a clear understanding of why our bodies and minds respond the way they do — and how to work with, not against, these natural rhythms.
Old Wisdom for a Modern Winter
Drawing from Stoicism, the Tao Te Ching, Transcendentalism, and ancient seasonal traditions, I reframe winter NOW as a time of renewal, introspection, and inner sharpening.
Winter isn’t a dead zone — it’s a Kairos moment: the perfect time for courageous, intentional change.
Small Daily Habits That Change Everything
This episode is packed with life-altering, accessible strategies to bring light back into your days: I deliver all of this with humor, honesty, and lived experience — including the carb cravings, fatigue, and my own battles with seasonal depression.
A Heartfelt Message on Family & Division
In one of the episode’s most vulnerable and thought-provoking segments, I address the emotional distances many people have created with loved ones over politics and ideology.
🧡 The Bigger Message
Winter doesn’t have to be a time of decline.
It can be a time of foundation, renewal, and becoming. This is not a season to fear. It’s a season to use.
