S4E13 - Embracing The Season You’re In

It’s autumn here in the Northern Hemisphere and despite the stunning dappled light through the amber leaves, I’ve been feeling a little heavy (not physically, more emotionally) & not as inspired as usual.   Winter is a season that our culture doesn’t celebrate. It’s not productive, or fast, it isn’t bright or energized. So at first, I tried to resist it, change it and make it go away. Which didn’t work.   I had to dive a little deeper to find the gifts and medicine in this wintertime. Which brings us to today’s podcast.   On the podcast today I’m sharing: The feminine leadership principle of embracing the season you’re in My own personal winter & why it isn’t ‘something to fix’ Why culture is obsessed with the energized & inspired Summer Woman (& how we internalize that) How I’m shifting my orientation to time within winter (and a short guided embodiment practice to join me) Some of the key questions I’m using to guide my days in this season   Resources from today’s podcast: I speak very briefly about different seasonal models from different cultures. I learnt more about First Australian’s from this great training which I recommend.
