In this Winter Solstice solo episode, Denise invites youinto the quiet magic of your inner winter — the season of slowing down, resting, and listening beneath the surface of your life. She shares a personal story of technology glitches, power outages, and plans unraveling, and how these moments can become unexpected portals into spaciousness rather than spirals of panic and control.
From there, we explore:• Honouring your nervous system’s natural rhythms in winter
• The difference between pushing through vs. responding to life as an invitation
• The “void” as a potent cocoon space rather than a sign that something is wrong
• How tiny 1% shifts in how you meet yourself can change your entire trajectory
• Reclaiming your inner magic by embracing all of your seasons – not just your “spring and summer” self
Denise also offers a gentle card reading and a guidedself-inquiry process to help you reflect on:• What you’re ready to release before spring
• What seeds of desire are quietly asking to be planted
• Which parts of you are longing to come home and be held, rather than judged or abandoned
This episode is a soft invitation to step out of productivity-as-worth, sink into the deeper rest your body might be craving,and remember that so much is happening beneath the surface… even when it looks like nothing is moving at all.
