EPISODE 68 — Why Winter Makes Moms Lose Their Patience (And How to Stay Grounded)

• Does winter make everything feel louder, heavier, and more suffocating — like your patience is evaporating faster than you can catch it? • Have you snapped at your kids over something small and immediately felt that wave of guilt crash over you? • Do you ever wonder, “Why can’t I handle this?” even though you’re trying so hard to hold everything together?

In this episode, I’m sharing why winter quietly shrinks your emotional capacity, steals the tiny resets your body relies on, and makes even the smallest things feel impossibly heavy — and how that has nothing to do with you failing or losing your patience on purpose. I walk you through the emotional, sensory, and nervous-system shifts that happen during winter, why your reactions feel bigger, and how to gently reconnect to yourself through grounding that actually works in this season of motherhood.

This conversation is for the mom who has been overstimulated for weeks, carrying more than anyone sees, and craving a softer, steadier way to move through her days.

Do you ever hit January feeling fired up and ready for a fresh start… only to overwhelm yourself with a long list of goals you swear you’ll finally stick to this year? Do you keep trying to become the organized, calm, thriving version of yourself — while the season you’re actually living in feels loud, heavy, and overflowing? If you’ve been hustling, striving, or forcing change that never seems to stick… this episode is going to feel like relief.

In today’s show, we unpack what really happens when we set goals from pressure instead of clarity. I’m sharing the true story of the year I wrote 25 goals and burned out almost immediately — and the honest realization that changed everything: you don’t need a whole new identity… you just need ONE anchor that fits your life and your capacity in this season.

If you’re tired of feeling scattered, “behind,” or stretched thin, this conversation will help you simplify, steady yourself, and step into a year that actually supports you. I hope it blesses you in all the right ways. ❤️
