ATD x EP. 2557 - THE YEAR OF THE WOOD SNAKE + DEEP WINTER PASSAGE

Jan 1

I allow this season to finish its work within me, trusting that what is taking shape does not need to be rushed in order to be real.

DEEP WINTER PASSAGE GUIDE

In this episode of All Things DVN, we’re sitting together and talking honestly about why this time of year can feel confusing, emotional, or unfinished, even when the calendar is telling everyone to move on. We walk through what the Year of the Wood Snake actually is, why it does not reset on January first, and how it overlaps with what I call the Deep Winter Passage in my own framework. If you’ve been feeling slower than expected, reflective without clear answers, or resistant to forcing plans, this episode is here to remind you that you are not behind and nothing about your timing is wrong.

We talk about what not to force right now, how to move through this closing stretch with discernment instead of pressure, and what begins to open as we move into February and toward our Bloom Quarter. This conversation is about honoring internal timing, letting cycles complete, and trusting what is being refined beneath the surface before anything new is asked to stand.

Thank you for taking a seat at my table, for supporting the books, reading the blogs, listening to All Things DVN, and utilizing our podcast essentials. Your presence, your time, and your attention are deeply appreciated as we close out 2025 together. In 2026, as we enter our Bloom Quarter, DVN THEREPE is opening its home one room at a time, and you are invited.
