This week, we're sitting down with Rebecca Magee to discuss the importance of seasonal living, the need to honor periods of rest, and how reconnecting with nature can lead to a more thoughtful and invigorating way of life. Rebecca is the founder of Sister Seasons,  an impact company that helps changemakers work with nature's cycles to develop the skills they need to be thriving, regenerative leaders on a rapidly changing planet. With a background in social impact and women's leadership at companies like EILEEN FISHER and Echoing Green, Rebecca explores the deep connections between gender equity and climate change, highlighting how women are disproportionately affected by environmental challenges. She shares insights on embracing natural cycles—both in nature and within ourselves—to foster resilience, avoid burnout, and promote personal and collective sustainability. We really enjoyed this thought-provoking conversation on balance, sustainability, and the wisdom of the seasons–and we hope you will, as well. Show Notes:The Biophilic Leadership SummitSister SeasonsSister Seasons NewsletterField Notes | FREE Introductory Course from Sister SeasonsWintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times by Katherine MayKeywords: Sister Seasons, gender equity, climate change, menstrual cycles, sustainability, women's wellbeing, regenerative cycles, cultural perspectives, wintering, burnout, winter phase, cycles, leadership, self-care, nature, anxiety, regenerative leadership, mindfulness, cultural reflections, responsive leadershipThe Biophilic Leadership Summit is the only multi-day conference entirely focused on biophilic projects, research & principles, bringing together top industry thought-leaders in an intimate natural setting to network, build partnerships and learn from each other.

Do you struggle with the fear of failure or trusting God through the difficult seasons of your life? Dr. Heather Thompson Day joins us to talk about the importance of trusting God through life's seasons, navigating fear and failure, and understanding the true meaning of passion. She shares her personal journey of identity and purpose, the role of suffering in discovering passion, and the dangers of emotional numbness. Heather and Christie talk about how to trust God in every season of our lives and how winter seasons can shape us into the woman God created us to be.    Conversation Topics: -Life is a journey with highs and lows. -Trusting God is essential in every season. -Passion is defined as suffering for what you love. -Identity can be tied too closely to our roles. -Surrendering means letting in new possibilities. -Numbness is a choice we make over time. -We can unlearn fears and embrace life. -Highs and lows are part of the human experience. -Wintering seasons can lead to self-discovery. -God's presence is constant, even when we don't feel it.   Visit our website.   Get Allie's book “Social Media Reset” Get Allie's book “Wonderfully Made”   Join our Love Her A'Latte campaign — make our podcast possible.   Get the show notes

S9E6 - In this final episode of our wintering mini-season, we'll weave together all the insights gained from this season and our guests Dani, Jennifer, and Rhonda. We'll take a look at how “forced,” “collective,” and “conscious” slowdowns can deepen our self-awareness and bring us closer to our most authentic selves. You'll also learn practical ways to carry winter's quiet wisdom into spring (or any season), nurture a more intentional pace, and keep discovering who you are beneath the busyness. Check out this episode for a reminder that wintering can guide us whenever life feels too loud.

In this episode of The Best Ever You Show, Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino and Dr. Katie Eastman dive into the beauty of wintering in South Carolina and the tranquility of finding peace in Anacortes, Washington—where the mountains meet the sea. We also share insights from our bestselling books, Uplifting and The Change Guidebook, and how their lessons apply to everyday life.Our main topic?

S9E5 - What if you let the sunlight and the natural rhythm of a winter day, rather than society, set your pace? In this episode, we'll explore the idea of conscious wintering—intentionally slowing down to match nature's seasonal rhythms. You'll hear Rhonda's inspiring story of consciously embracing shorter days while unlearning decades of hurry. If you're curious about small steps you can take to align your life with the season you're in—wherever you live—this conversation is for you.

We just finished reading Wintering by Katherine May in the book club, and it has prompted me to reflect on the parallels between the book's themes and the foundational values underlying ​The Return to Serenity Island​. https://youtu.be/NoGFVIuAPJk Katherine May describes Wintering as “a season in the cold. It is a fallow period in life when you're cut off from the world, feeling rejected, sidelined, blocked from progress, or cast into the role of an outsider.” We've all experienced these times in life, but wintering is a quiet act of defiance in a world that never stops. It is an example of gentle rebellion in the face of the perpetual demand to be productive and useful. It's choosing rest over empty hustle, care over competition, and creativity over endless productivity. May suggests that we often treat these winters as something to hide or ignore. However, embracing them is “a radical act—choosing to slow down, letting spare time expand, and getting enough rest. If you shed this skin, you'll expose all those painful nerve endings and feel raw. But if you don't, the old skin will harden around you.” This resonates deeply with what we do in ​The Return to Serenity Island.​ What Is Serenity Island? Serenity Island is a slow and immersive experience, and perfect for those navigating, preparing for, or healing from a season of wintering. Whether you're in the aftermath of a crisis, have identified a gradual drift in a part of your life, or you simply feel the burden of life's demands on your shoulders, the course offers a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the things that matter. You are invited to... Rest and listen: Discover tools to help you embrace stillness and notice the unexpected wisdom waiting in the spaces between. Illuminate the path: as the snow falls, it brightens the world engulfed in the darkness of short winter days. Serenity Island helps you find your footing more clearly and softens the harsh edges of life. Rediscover your voice: As May reminds us, despite beliefs entrenched by popular culture, to view singing as something for the talented is to misunderstand it as a natural and necessary part of human expression. On Serenity Island, you will reclaim your sound and find the courage to explore your voice, regardless of what anyone else thinks of it. Move with the seasons: Life isn't linear, and neither is healing. With maps and imagination, Serenity Island helps you embrace a cyclical and three-dimensional understanding of growth. What You'll Find on Serenity Island Wintering is not just about survival—it's about transformation and enduring growth. May writes, “Every time we winter, we develop a new knowledge about how to go back into the world.” On Serenity Island, you will: Gain clarity on what matters most and how YOU want to approach this next season of life. Identify and gently release the things you no longer want to spend your finite resources (resilience, energy, time) on. Anchor in the present by embracing and enjoying life's imperfect and bittersweet endings, letting go of perfect hero's journeys and wishful thinking. Slow down, rest, and be yourself alongside others in the folded-page moments of our picnic sessions, where there is no pressure to perform or deliver. Build your toolkit for life by using the course templates and ideas. Develop your own practices, rituals, and metaphors to carry you through future seasons. Ready to Join Me on Serenity Island? Maybe you're in a Wintering season like this and would like some company as you navigate it. Or perhaps you want to be more prepared to embrace your next winter when it arrives. If so, I invite you to join The Return to Serenity Island. This course is designed to meet you where you are, offering a space to explore, reconnect, and grow from the inside-out.

In our February Book Club, we met to discuss ‘Wintering: The power of rest and retreat in difficult times‘ by Katherine May. Here are my notes on the book. Book Notes Katherine May describes “Wintering” as “a season in the cold. It is a fallow period in life when you're cut off from the world, feeling rejected, sidelined, blocked from progress, or cast into the role of an outsider.” Through a sudden crisis, the loss of something or someone, or a gradual drift, Wintering is about allowing rest and retreat to come. Rather than fighting it, pretending it isn't happening, or wishing it away, Wintering is an acknowledgement that we can actively partner with the season and find healing, not despite it, but within it. “After all, you apply ice to a joint after an awkward fall. Why not do the same to a life?” September - Indian Summer We treat each winter as an embarrassing anomaly that should be hidden or ignored We may never choose to winter, but we can choose how Wintering is a moment when you need to shed a skin. This is a radical act - choosing to slow down, letting spare time expand, and getting enough rest. If you shed this skin, you'll expose all those painful nerve endings and feel raw. But if you don't, the old skin will harden around you. What are some of the default ways we resist and fight this process? October Making Ready The problem with doing everything is it ends up feeling like nothing. It's a haze of frantic activity, with all the meaning sheared away. Katherine talks about “cooking Autumn into the house” after being signed off from work with severe abdominal pain. The preparation of food provides anchors in space and time Preparing for Winter before it is with us - In Finland, the winter arrives suddenly, and you don't mess with it (having the wardrobe stowed away for when it comes) Daily routines keep us on an even keel All this time is an unfathomable luxury, and I'm struck by the uncomfortable feeling that I'm enjoying it a little too much Can I justify a walk when everyone else is doubling up to cover my job? The things that make us well are sources of guilt and shame (rest and healing are perceived as luxuries) Hot Water Katherine decided to cancel her big 40th birthday trip to Iceland - she didn't think she was physically strong or steady enough. But the biggest fear was judgement - are you even allowed to go on holiday when you're signed off from work? What would people think if they found out? But the doctor gave a YOLO permission slip and told her to go In moments of helplessness, I always seem to travel north. I find I can think straight, the air feels clean and uncluttered “In sauna” - Hanne is not talking about a building, she's talking about a state of being. For Finns, sauna is more than having a sauna, it's a cornerstone around which life is built - birth, death, deep conversations, and a ritual cleansing of body, mind, and soul Ghost Stories Halloween represents an invitation on the calendar, to acknowledge the present absences and absent presence of those we have lost It is also where we can occupy the liminal space between worlds, thoughts and feelings - where fear and delight become inseparable, life and death, inside and outside November Metamorphosis Amid the transformation of winter - the unwelcome change - is an abundance of life We meet Shelly, who tells her story of recovering from life-threatening bacterial meningitis - it's not a heroic tale of triumph over illness, there is no path or methodology, she just waited it out and carried on with life…she didn't witness it, she didn't have to look at her daughter in a coma (it was not her wintering - that came later when she was in a state of sofa surfing limbo after her parents moved to America and her relationship broke down) - she began a new creative project that on reflection represented a process of her own healing and regrowth

February is such a tease, one day it's blue skies and sunshine, the next it's raining and bitterly cold. But the signs are there, spring isn't far away. I brave the cold on a quest for snowdrops and learn a little of their folklore. My kitchen is full of baking imperfections and herbal mishaps. Join me as I curl up and dream of wildflower meadows and get lost between the covers of a good book. Keep up the cosy, we're not out of winter yet. For more of my content find me on SubstackFeel free to get in touch on Instagram or email:rootedbynaturepodcast@gmail.comBook recommendations:England: A Natural History by John Lewis-StempleThe Almanac: A Seasonal Guide to 2025 by Lia LeendertzSend us a text

S9E4 - What happens when the entire world pauses at once—and how can we keep that sense of stillness alive long after things have picked back up? In this episode, we explore “collective wintering” and the unexpected slowdown many experienced at the start of the pandemic. You'll hear Jennifer's story of finding solace, simplicity, and a renewed focus on “being” over “doing.” If you've ever longed for a touch of that slower pace (even now), this conversation is for you. Join us as we uncover how embracing a gentler rhythm can help us reconnect with what matters most—even after life returns to its usual speed.

What do eiders eat, how do they feed, why is their poop so stinky, how do they taste, how many are there, and what are the most pressing conservation concerns affecting them? These and other questions are explored as Kate Martin and Dr. Sarah Gutowsky rejoin Dr. Mike Brasher to wrap up our common eider species profile. Also discussed is new research that is improving our knowledge of eider population trends and identifying important breeding and winter sites. New telemetry results are revealing fascinating insights about eider migration, and we learn of the important cultural and economic tie between common eiders and local communities, including why an eider down duvet could set you back $10,000!Listen now: www.ducks.org/DUPodcastSend feedback: DUPodcast@ducks.org

S9E3 - What happens when circumstances demand that we hit the brakes? In this episode, we explore how "forced wintering"—those moments we have no choice but to slow down—can spark new clarity, creativity, and self-advocacy. You'll hear Dani's powerful story of medical challenges that led her to rediscover forgotten passions, along with a personal anecdote of my own that highlights why life's abrupt pauses sometimes reveal what truly matters.

Outlouders, we've just ticked off January for 2025... and who else is already exhausted? Don't worry... us too! So today we are sharing with you an episode of MID that will help you avoid burning out. Burn-Out, says author Katherine May, is what happens when you repeatedly ignore your own needs. Sound familiar? The first signs are often that you can't focus. Can't read, maybe. Can't sleep, or sleep too much? Can't eat, or can't stop eating? You're Tired All The Time. You have that cold that just won't leave.The cure, everyone says, is simple: Slow down, Darl. But it's not so easy when everyone needs something from you. Author and advocate Katherine May - creator of the Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling books Wintering and Enchantment - thinks that the way we're taught to deal with burn-out is unrealistic for most women, particularly midlife women with overflowing plates. Waking up to meditate is not so easy when you've got lunches to make, work to do, life to live. And let's face it, a world that prioritises productivity hacks isn't exactly championing meaningful rest. So how do you replenish, in 2025, when absolutely everyone's lost their charger?

Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.”   Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”   Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“   Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“   Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

S9E2 - Why is it so tough to pause when everything around us screams, "Let's have your best yet"? In this episode, I uncover the cultural and personal barriers that can make rest feel almost impossible—especially at the start of a new year. I talk about my own push-pull relationship with rest and productivity, my experiment to push back, and the guilt that still creeps in when I feel like I'm not doing “enough.” Together, we'll explore why slowing down isn't just a nice idea—it's actually the key to living more consciously. You'll also hear about an alternative to creating a vision board and how it can shift your focus from big goals to how you live each day.If you've ever felt uneasy about taking a break or found it challenging to set boundaries, this episode is for you. Let's discover how wintering helps us reconnect with who we really are.

Join us THIS WEDNESDAY 1/15 at 1 pm EST on Zoom inside the Wild Wellness Women's Circle for our Gentle Girl Winter gathering. Have you heard of “wintering” as a verb? Wintering basically means seeing the value that winter provides in Nature and aligning with those energetic themes instead of trying to fight against them. Winter is about… turning inward, trusting intuition and getting clarity that sustains us all year embracing rest as a form of resistance to these unnatural systems around us accepting and appreciating silence, darkness, sadness and grief, hunger, and even magical inconveniences (like snow days!) being held and establishing roots and resilience. Today's episode is a clip from our Yule gathering, where we were at the Winter Solstice and the peak of winter. We are touching on a lot of themes of winter in this episode too, and you'll get an example of what it's like to come to a women's circle gathering.

Trying to bring the best sparkly version of yourself to your own healing: It just doesn't work, says Katherine May. In this conversation, we return to May's New York Times–bestselling book Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times. It feels more relevant now than ever. We talk about finding a home for lingering, unexpressed grief and for vast, unsettled feelings. We talk about rest, creative work that we love, and things that make us laugh—and Katherine May always makes me laugh.

S9E1 - Join me this season in the exploration of the Art of Wintering to flow with the natural rhythms of the winter season as we slow down, breathe, and reflect. In this first episode, I share the story of how I realized I needed to embrace a season of wintering in my life, and why stepping back can actually help us uncover our deepest desires and truest selves. Throughout this season, we'll talk about how to let the ground of our lives lie fallow just long enough to spark renewed creativity, clarity, and meaning. We'll also hear from listeners about their seasons of intentional or forced wintering. Let's slow down, rest, and wake up to what really matters.

In 1958, 96-year-old Joseph Gourneau, father of Turtle Mountain Chippewa tribal chairman and historian Pat Gourneau, was interviewed by Bob Cory of the Minot Daily News. Joseph was one of the last generations born to follow the buffalo.

This episode is not about New Year's Resolutions. In fact, it's about the opposite of New Year's Resolutions.  It's about not starting anything new in January, and keeping everything in your life simple.Why?  Because we're Wintering, and January is still part of Winter!If you've been practicing going slow during winter in any capacity, starting anew in January is leaving this process incomplete.  Cutting it off before you're done.  This episode shares some thorough thoughts on this perspective.  Contact me or Join my Stuff Here:Join the Waitlist for Radiance RecipeClick here to join waitlistThis is my 3 month program, starting in the Spring, on learning how to communicate with your womb, hear her wisdom and live in sync with the 4 hormonal phases your body goes through each month as a person who menstruates.   PatreonAvailable now!  www.patreon.com/SoulAmplifiedThis is a membership site where you will have access to sooo many of the inspired messages I have to share, worksheets, videos, and group interaction with me through teaching or ceremony.Join my email list--just click here!I share insights here not seen anywhere else, as well as coupon codes, early access and bonus' for early sign up!

On this episode of the Another Way To See It podcast, we talk about Wintering and the lessons of the Winter Solstice. Wintering is the act of following nature inward and downward. Introspection, slowing down, hibernating, and practicing our ancestral inheritance of dreaming and storytelling in community. The solstice,  the longest darkest night of the year is invitational to this practice and a real life, real time invitation to this process. A beckoning to listen for the call of the ancestors and future ones, to dream and plant seed for the coming Spring.  We always love to hear from you, reach out:https://www.instagram.com/anotherwaytoseeitpodcast/Support our show:   https://www.buzzsprout.com/1694878/supporters/new Coaches: Kim Moranhttps://www.kimmorancoaching.com/https://www.instagram.com/kimcalifornia/ Tracy Holemeyerhttps://www.uncontrollablyme.com/https://www.instagram.com/uncontrollably_me/ Produced by: Kim MoranMusic: A Rush of Inspiration by Evan Mac Donald Support the show

Season 9 Trailer - I invite you to explore the concept of "wintering" with me on this next season of The Hello, Personality Podcast. Here's a short preview of what to expect this season—including a few things that will be different to honor the spirit of wintering.

Each winter, life slows down. It's dark and cold, yet the season offers an opportunity for rest. This week's episode of Everyday Better honors the beginning of winter with Katherine May, author of Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times. In Wintering, Katherine shares the story of navigating a personal ‘winter' – a challenging period of time during which she retreated into herself in order to cope with everything happening around her. Drawing on research about how Northern cultures weather their own harsh winters, Wintering is a balm for weary souls everywhere. In this episode, Leah and Katherine discuss the art of slowing down and how to embrace the metaphorical seasons we all go through in life.  Follow Leah Smart on LinkedIn. Follow Katherine May on Instagram.

Wintering is a season in the cold. It is both literal and figurative. It acknowledges those times where we move through a fallow period – cut off from the world. What is the power of wintering? How can we learn to call in the dark and the cold? In today's encore episode on wintering we discuss what wintering is, borrowing from the brilliance of writer Katherine May; we speak to the power of wintering, specifically the power of the dark, the cold, letting go and resting; and we close with reflection questions to spark your own best thinking on how to integrate this practice. “So that is my wish for you – that you may be unburdened by the cold and dark of wintering. And more than that. That you can embrace it. Call in the dark and the cold – don't run from it. It is through learning how to sit in this discomfort that we build our resilience for when the unexpected winters arrive.”   Links and Resources For show notes visit: https://pointroadstudios.com/podcast/wintering-3/ To connect on Linked In:  @Sharon Lipovsky @Point Road Studios  To connect on Instagram: @pointroadstudios Rate, Review & Subscribe to the podcast on Apple & Spotify
