“The dark isn’t your enemy — it’s the soil your light grows from.”
In this Winter Solstice episode of WTF Spirit, I’m inviting you to slow down, stop fighting the darkness, and understand why it exists in the first place. December has a way of making people uncomfortable — the quiet, the endings, the long nights — but the darkness isn’t here to punish you. It’s here to help you heal, gestate, and reset.
We talk about why darkness is feminine, why being in the quiet can feel confronting, and how trauma can pull us out of our bodies. I share why the Solstice is not a productivity checkpoint, but a sacred pause — a moment to listen to your body, your guides, and your ancestors. This episode is about learning how to sit with yourself, honor your inner winter, and bring light back into your life without forcing anything.
We also talk practical spirituality — simple candle work, intention over perfection, and why your connection to Spirit doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s. No fancy tools. No perfect rituals. Just honesty, presence, and choosing yourself.
If you’ve been exhausted, overwhelmed, or feeling like something is ending but you’re not sure what’s next yet — this episode is for you. The seeds are already in the soil. Your light knows when it’s time to rise.
