There are seasons in life where everything feels heavy, grey and lifeless.
Where it feels like nothing is going well, nothing is blooming, and nothing makes sense anymore.
If you’re in the aftermath of an affair, this is exactly how it can feel. Relationships start to shift. Certainty of the future disappears. And the emotions feel big, hard and bleak.
And all you want is for this part to be over.
In this episode, I talk about what it means to be in a winter season of life, and why this phase isn’t a failure, a punishment, or a sign that you’ve ruined everything.
It’s a season of shedding, stillness and deep inner repair.
Just like nature in winter, everything on the surface may look quiet, bare, or even dead.But underneath, something essential is happening.
Roots are deepening.Old structures are dissolving.Life is reorganising itself from the inside out.
This episode is an invitation to stop rushing this season…and to begin trusting what it’s doing within you.
In this episode, I explore:
What it means to be in a winter season of life
Why the aftermath of an affair so often feels bleak, heavy, and colourless
How breakdowns can be sacred pauses rather than personal failures
Why shedding relationships, identities, and old ways of being is part of healing
What’s really happening beneath the surface when nothing seems to be changing
Why rushing this season weakens the roots of what’s trying to grow
How trusting the season you’re in can change the way you move through it
If everything feels slow.
If you’re tired of feeling this way.If you just want to hurry up and feel “better”.
I see you.
Remember, nothing blooms all year round and this season isn’t forever.
Your only work right now is to learn how to stay with yourself and keep healing at a mind, body and soul level.
Spring will come.But first, the roots have to deepen.
