This week, we’re attuning to the energy of the waning moon—the sacred descent into stillness, clarity, and recalibration after the powerful illumination of the full moon.

In this episode, we explore:

🌖 Why women often struggle to “downshift” into rest (yes, there’s research!)
🌖 The cultural friction between winter’s yin energy and holiday busyness
🌖 Rituals and practices to support transitions—seasonal, lunar, and menstrual
🌖 Why tending to the small transitions in your day reshapes the big transitions in your life

We also dive into the science behind the “tired but wired” state so many women experience, how care burdens affect the female nervous system, and how cyclical living can help you create a more sustainable rhythm of healing and growth.

If you’re craving space, softness, grounding, or a slower pace this season… this episode is for you.

In this week’s episode, we’re attuning to the last Full Moon of the calendar year—a moment of illumination, culmination, and deep inner truth.

While nature is slowing down, shedding, and turning inward, our Western culture is ramping up with holidays, pressure, and end-of-year expectations. If you’ve been feeling that tension in your body, your energy, or your emotions… you’re not alone. And you’re not “off.” You’re actually in rhythm with something far wiser.

In this episode, we explore:
🌕 Why the end of the year feels like the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle
🌕 What the Full Moon reveals about your growth, healing, and inner evolution
🌕 How to honor the small-but-significant milestones you’ve achieved this year
🌕 A powerful reflection question: Who are you now, after everything you’ve grown through this year?

This episode is your reminder to slow down, reflect, and let your body actually receive the truth of how far you’ve come.

If you want support grounding into that embodied confidence, you’ll find three free somatic meditations linked below.

The holidays are marketed as a season of joy, gratitude, and togetherness—but for cycle breakers, sensitive souls, and anyone healing their lineage, this time of year can feel deeply activating.

If you’re the one in your family doing things differently, healing old patterns, or reshaping your values, this episode will help you feel grounded and supported through the complexity of the season.

You'll explore:

🧡 Why the holidays can be especially triggering for cycle breakers
🧡 How family dynamics, grief, and ancestral patterns show up this time of year
🧡 Why cultural narratives around “gratitude” and “togetherness” often miss the mark
🧡 The importance of land acknowledgment and reclaiming the true history of this day
🧡 How to intentionally choose what this season means for you
