This week, I’m exploring the idea of the “winter arc” and how it’s reshaping my outlook on the colder, darker months.

If, like me, you've ever felt that winter is just something to endure, I’ve got some fresh ways to think about this season as a time for rest, reflection, and growth. From embracing cosy self-care rituals to finding community and staying active in surprising ways, we’ll chat about how to make winter work for you instead of fighting against it.

I'll also share some tips for keeping your energy levels up and boosting your immune system, plus how to enjoy moments of stillness without guilt.

Winter doesn’t have to feel isolating or dreary—with the right mindset, it can be an enriching part of our lives. Let’s make this season one to remember, not just survive!
