ATD x EP. 2556 - THE DEEP WINTER PASSAGE
I allow myself to see what this season is revealing, and I move through it with honesty, care, and trust in my inner knowing, because nothing rising in me is here to harm me and everything surfacing is guiding me toward the person I am becoming.
In this episode, we are stepping into the Deep Winter Passage and talking honestly about why this season feels so intense for so many people. Winter brings emotions, memories, and patterns to the surface in a way that catches people off guard, and my intention today is to give you language for what is happening inside you so you can stop blaming yourself for what is simply part of this cycle.
We will talk about the stories that rise during this time, the identities that pull you back into old roles, the energetic weight that winter places on the mind and body, and the cultural pressure that makes this season even harder. I will walk you through what this passage activates and how you can move through it with more awareness, compassion, and understanding.
If you have ever felt like winter hits you differently, if you have struggled with the emotional pull of the holidays, or if you find yourself confused by the feelings that show up year after year, this conversation will give you a clear path through it. You are not unraveling. You are being shown something meaningful.
