Fall can be a difficult season for many of us. Nature reflects our inner state: slowing down, reaping the last hard-won harvest, settling in to watch everything turn inward or hibernate or even die. It can be a time of grief and allowing for grief, too.
Where else are you experiencing a fall season in your life? Is it showing up at home, with family, in your business?
Despite what the business bros would have you believe, this is totally normal.
We (Carin and Kacey) are both going through this in our lives and businesses, and realized that sooner or later, you would be, too. It’s an inevitable season we all face. We hope you’ll let this episode act as your in-the-trenches-with-you support system.
Between the two of us, we break down and share 10 mindful coping skills that help us create more ease in difficult seasons.
And because we use them intentionally, we expect you’ll do the same.
If you struggle with the self-judgment of even needing coping skills in the first place, are feeling alone or isolated in a difficult season, and want to build resilience for yourself and consequently your business, this is for you.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Understanding the signals from our mind + body that tell us we need extra care
- How to get from knowing we need care to actually doing it
- 10 ways we use nourishment and comfort to build resilience
- Why buffering or numbing might not be ALL bad (*gasp*)
- The limitations of mindset work and the benefits of taking it all one day at a time
