Summary

#266: Is it just me, or do you also feel unmotivated in the winter?

In this solo episode, I’m sharing how to create habits that make it easier to navigate the seasonal shift and embrace the slower pace of winter.

From adjusting your routines for more rest and nourishment to finding joy in new hobbies and staying connected, this episode will help you stay motivated, care for your mental and physical health, and finish the year feeling strong.

Welcome to Balance Black Girl.

0:12.1

My name is Les.

0:12.9

I'm your host and I appreciate you tapping in.

0:17.7

So at the time of this episode recording, at the time of me releasing this episode, we're

0:30.5

year is upon us.

0:32.3

And this can be a really, really tricky time for a lot of reasons.
