Tis the Season to Go Within: Rest, Darkness, and the Return of Light

As the winter solstice approaches, David and Lauren McMillan invite listeners to slow down and reconnect with nature’s rhythm. In this reflective episode of Strategies for Living, they explore late fall as a sacred season of rest, introspection, and renewal—challenging a culture that glorifies constant productivity. Through psychology, biology, spirituality, and ancient wisdom, they reframe darkness not as something to fear, but as fertile ground for healing, integration, and the return of light. If the holidays feel overwhelming, this conversation offers grounding strategies to reclaim calm, listen to your body, and honor the season you’re in.Original airdate: 12/16/2025
