18. Embracing YOUR timeline, not the calendar’s

In this episode, I explore a different approach to New Year's transitions and resolutions, particularly for mothers and women. We dive into why the traditional January 1st pressure might not serve us, and how we can align more naturally with cyclical rhythms.We explore how:The arbitrary nature of January 1st and why putting pressure on this specific date often sets us up for failureThe connection between women's bodies, moon cycles, and natural seasons (all following a 28-day/4-stage pattern)Why the winter solstice invites us into darkness and introspection, even as holiday festivities push us toward outward energyThe practical challenges of reflection and intention-setting during the holiday season as a motherHow we can use the Lunar New Year (late January) as a more aligned time for reflection and intention-settingI introduce the concept of cyclical living and offer alternative approaches to new year transitions that honor our natural rhythms and energy levels during this season.Resources Mentioned:Lunar New Year Gathering for The School of MOM community (coming January 2025).
