What Still Needs Wintering?

from DOUBLE TAKE: Navigating Life's Second Act · host Tanya Powell and Tami Brittenham

What in your life still needs wintering? What parts of you are asking for rest, even as everything around you says to push forward? In this episode, we explore the concept of "wintering"—those in-between spaces that deserve more than just powering through. We share our own experiences with difficult seasons and examine the signs that we're pushing too hard instead of allowing ourselves the rest and reflection that wintering requires. How do you distinguish between healthy resilience and harmful resistance? What happens when we ignore our need to slow down, retreat, and restore? From the physical effects of actual winter to the emotional landscape of life's challenging chapters, we discuss why these fallow periods might be preparing us for what's next—if we can learn to honor them instead of just endure them.
