In today’s episode of Through a Trauma-Informed Lens: Soma, Psyche & Soul, I invite you into a quieter, slower, more honest conversation about the end of the year - a conversation that honours the body, nature, and the deeper wisdom that lives beneath our conditioning. December brings us into the darkest point of the year. And yet, in our Western culture, we push harder, speed up, plan more, and override the signals that our bodies have been attuned to for thousands of years. In this episode I explore: why you might feel tired, overwhelmed, or depleted right now how your body is responding to the natural seasonal rhythm (even if life doesn’t allow you to slow down fully) the gentle power of realigning with winter’s invitation to rest, reflect, and soften why disappearing completely from your business in December creates more dysregulation later - and what to do instead a simple three-step process for reflecting on your year, reconnecting with your deeper mission, and refocusing on your embodied path for 2026 what it truly means to build a business that honours your life, your nervous system and your feminine leadership I also share personal stories - from burnout, illness, and lessons learned the hard way - about what happens when we override the body’s signals, and how coming back to nature’s rhythm changed everything in how I lead, plan, and run my business today. If you want guided support with your reflection and planning, you’ll find a link to a free resource in the show notes, as well as details about my Yearly & Quarterly Seasonal Planning Retreat, where we go much deeper into reviewing, reconnecting and refocusing - somatically, relationally and in full alignment with your values. Wherever you are today, I hope this episode invites you into more rest, more spaciousness, and more trust in your body’s innate wisdom.
