Summary
January feels to me like a sacred invitation to go inward, to slow down, do less, and support myself in ways I may not have been allowing myself to. Wintering has been on my mind a lot lately, so this week, I’m giving you permission to pause, breathe, and give yourself the gift of quiet and stillness.
Join me this week for a short and sweet episode as I encourage you to winter and discover what’s possible for you on the other side of rushing and busyness.

| 0:00.0 | This is feminist wellness and I'm your host, nurse practitioner, functional medicine expert and life coach Victoria Albina. I'll be full heart. Welcome my love let's get started. |
| 0:24.7 | Hello hello my love I hope this finds you doing so well. So well. It's a new year. What are you making it mean that it's a new year? |
| 0:40.0 | That's the question I've been asking my clients a lot lately. |
| 0:43.4 | Are you making it mean like we talked about last week when we talked about |
| 0:46.5 | resolutions versus commitment that it's time to make all these radical big shifts and |
| 0:51.5 | changes in your life? Are you telling those fantasy stories |
| 0:55.3 | that the coming of January wants more means it's time to get a million things done? |
| 1:01.8 | I've been thinking a lot about wintering. I feel like I've |
| 1:04.2 | been starting shows out talking a lot about wintering because it's really been on |
| 1:07.8 | my mind in large part because this is my second winter up in the Hudson Valley after so many years in Brooklyn, |
| 1:16.1 | where winter feels just, it feels really different up here in a way. |
| 1:19.9 | I'm really, really loving. |
| 1:21.9 | Long walks in the woods, a lot of time in nature, freezing my butt off. |
| 1:29.2 | And this January, I'm really pausing a lot to remind myself that winter, Capricorn season, you know, it's a time of rest. It's a time of renewal. It's a time of hibernation. I mean, if you live in the northern hemisphere, |
| 1:46.1 | how many bunnies are there in your yard right now? Hopefully is your own? |
| 1:51.5 | They've gone to ground, right? They're hibernating, they're getting their chubby cheeks on, they're getting ready for the spring. And the vernal equinox is just around the corner. Spring is soon to come. So January to me feels like a |
| 2:06.6 | really sacred invitation to go inward, to slow down, to do less, to support ourselves in ways that we may not have been allowing ourselves to feel supported. |
| 2:20.0 | To call a friend when we like don't really have anything much to say but just to say I was |
| 2:26.3 | thinking of you I love you you've been on my heart you've been on my mind |
| 2:32.3 | I've been taking the mornings really slowly as a way to support myself. |
| 2:36.0 | As I mentioned last week, I have stepped away from caffeine. |
| 2:40.0 | And your girl's been tired. It's so fascinating. This sounds funny, right? But like, I've never really been tired? I mean, like, of course I've been tired, right? But I'm like a human on this planet, but it's not like part of my MO, you know those people, |
