During this soulful solo episode of Seeking Simplicity, I invite you to reflect on the power of living in tune with your own natural cycles and the deeper rhythms of nature. Together, we explore the idea that we are not designed to be in constant “go mode”—that embracing our seasons (both internal and external) is an act of self-honouring, not failure. I open up about a recent personal loss and share how grief has brought me back to the wisdom of letting myself soften, slow down, and lean into the transformative magic that comes with accepting each season as it arrives. Whether you’re in a season of growth, rest, change, or harvest, recognising where you are allows you to give yourself permission to move at your own pace. We talk about the archetypes of the feminine journey—the Maiden, the Mother, the Maga (my current season, and why my new offering is called Magna Nificence), and the Crone. I discuss how the so-called “midlife” (a term I don’t love!) or perimenopausal period is actually a time of deep neurological rewiring, personal independence, and wisdom-gathering, rather than something simply to be medicalised or managed. If you’re noticing a shift in what interests you, how much you can give, or how you want to show up, you’re not alone—your season is changing, and that’s beautiful. There’s a powerful freedom in recognising when you no longer have the capacity (or the desire) for certain things, and in embracing the truth-telling energy that these hormonal transitions bring. I encourage you to get curious about your own patterns: How do you feel through the seasons of the year? How do your energy and mood shift with your menstrual or moon cycle? I share my own experience with tracking these rhythms, and offer practical encouragement for creating a schedule that honours your unique energy—whether you’re thriving in summer sun or needing more rest as the darker months draw in. We touch on the difference between self-sabotage and self-knowledge, and the importance of elite recovery as the counterpart to elite performance. Living cyclically and seasonally is an act of self-respect, and it’s how we build sustainable, meaningful lives (and model this for those we love). Today, my wish for you is that you name your current season, listen to what it asks of you, and give yourself permission to live in sync with its wisdom. If you’re drawn to explore this journey more deeply, the priority waitlist for my new offering, Magna Nificence, is now open—details in the show notes. If this conversation resonates, please leave a review on Apple and share the episode. The more we honour our cycles, the more we invite others to breathe deeper and live more simply, too.
