Feeling a bit stuck? Like everything’s slowed down and nothing’s growing? You’re not alone. In this episode, we’re talking about the winter soul—that internal season where things feel murky, slow, and introspective.

We chat about:
✨ Why everyone seems to be in their ‘inner winter’ right now
✨ The importance of cutting out the noise and going inward
✨ How overstimulation (hello, endless scrolling) is messing with your creativity and nervous system
✨ The power of discomfort and why sitting with it actually helps you move forward
✨ How to transmute frustration into creativity instead of falling into projection

We also share stories about social media detoxes, weird client interactions, and the magic of serving others when you feel stagnant. Plus, we dive into why shadow work is essential and how learning to observe your emotions (instead of absorbing them) changes everything.

Feeling stuck? This one’s for you.
