94 How To Celebrate Winter Solstice In A Modern World.

If you’ve ever felt that tug in your chest at this time of year — the craving for warmth, quiet, softness, or a return to yourself — you’re already responding to the power of Winter Solstice. Most people rush through June (or December if you’re in the Northern Hemisphere) thinking it’s ‘just cold’, but it’s not.   Winter Solstice is one of the most ancient and meaningful turning points on Earth’s calendar, and if you’ve ever wondered why humans from every culture, in every era, stopped everything to celebrate one single night…  Well… today you’ll find out.   Because Winter Solstice isn’t only the darkest and most Yin day of the year — it’s a powerful reset. A moment where the sun literally stops moving in the sky. A pause so profound that ancient people believed time stood still.  And that stillness?  It matters for us just as much today as it did thousands of years ago.   So if you’ve been feeling tired, stretched thin, or like you could use a good soul-level exhale… This episode on I Love Me The Podcast,  is your permission slip to step into the magic of Yule.   You can take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here: https://gettingnaked.com.au/2026/06/17/94-how-to-celebrate-winter-solstice-in-a-modern-world/   Resources…   Ep.3 Fill Yourself Up With Love https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/02/21/ep-3-fill-yourself-up-with-love-your-go-to-self-love-tool/   Ep.4 Meet Your True Self.

For 20+ years I’ve been teaching people worldwide how to heal depression and anxiety naturally, strengthen pelvic health, and cultivate radical self-love.   In 2011, I founded Getting Naked, an online school offering resources and programs that help people strip away limiting beliefs and childhood conditioning so they can feel confident, connected, free in their bodies and able to love and accept themselves unconditionally.   Alongside being a mum, wife, tea lover, and drummer, I’m qualified in more than a dozen holistic healing modalities. I’ve written two books, been published worldwide (print, TV, radio, etc), and often share my passion for self-love, mental health and pelvic wellbeing at yoga and spirituality festivals.   My own journey began when I learned how to overcome suicidal depression and anxiety without medication. From that, I created a ten-session self-love therapy program that now helps others do the same.   On the podcast, I share personal stories, tools and science-backed down-to-earth practices for emotional healing, women’s health, and living with more joy and freedom. May you feel more whole and more complete, by simply tuning in!   If you’d like to read my full love story and bio - including all my credentials - head to https://gettingnaked.com.au/tamra/   Contact…   Website: https://gettingnaked.com.au/    Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gettingnaked/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RelationshipQueen/   Music written by Tamra Mercieca and Grey Milton.
