Summary
The work discussed in this episode, as we enter the final days of 2025, is not just about ending the year on a high. What I feel it is, is an opportunity to see 2026 as the year your authentic self is non-negotiable. In this episode we are talking about self-care through the lens of transition, a fresh start, into the new year.
In this episode let's explore:
- Winter as the Shedding Season: Using the end of 2025 as a time to identify and release the societal expectations and masks that stifle our authentic selves.
- Decolonizing Your Worth: Challenging narratives of strength and productivity to embrace softness, vulnerability, and rest.
- Returning to Your Roots: The importance of reconnecting with hobbies, creativity, and ancestral wisdom that spark your mind, heart, and spirit.

| 1:51.5 | bring an open mind, be ready to just share. That's it. So I will drop the link in today's show |
| 1:59.2 | notes if you would like to join me. Again, it's December 17th on Zoom, so you don't have to go anywhere. |
