Wintering: The Hard Truth About Slowing Down | S9 E2
S9E2 - Why is it so tough to pause when everything around us screams, "Let's have your best yet"? In this episode, I uncover the cultural and personal barriers that can make rest feel almost impossible—especially at the start of a new year. I talk about my own push-pull relationship with rest and productivity, my experiment to push back, and the guilt that still creeps in when I feel like I'm not doing “enough.”
Together, we’ll explore why slowing down isn’t just a nice idea—it's actually the key to living more consciously. You’ll also hear about an alternative to creating a vision board and how it can shift your focus from big goals to how you live each day.
If you’ve ever felt uneasy about taking a break or found it challenging to set boundaries, this episode is for you. Let’s discover how wintering helps us reconnect with who we really are.
