About this listen
Following in the footsteps of Wintering by Katherine May and Rest Is Resistance by Tricia Hersey, Asha Frost brings a heart-centered voice and an Indigenous perspective to the rising call for rest, repair, and reconnection. Where others frame winter as a temporary retreat, Frost reveals it as a lifelong companion for those living with chronic illness, grief, depression, or soul-weariness—a truth she knows intimately through her own lupus diagnosis. Through the lens of the Medicine Wheel and the turning of the seasons, she guides readers to see their “inner winter” not as something to fix, but as something sacred to tend.
Each of the four parts of the book embodies a season: Spring as rebirth, Summer as growth, Fall as harvest, and Winter as rest. Every chapter opens with an ancestral Ojibwe legend, flows into embodied teachings, and closes with a healing ritual, ceremony, or journal practice. With gentleness and grounded spiritual authority, Asha invites readers to come home to themselves—not by transcending or romanticizing their pain, but by honoring it as medicine.
In a market hungry for authentic, inclusive healing paths—and in a culture reckoning with burnout, long COVID, and the unraveling of hustle ideology—The Inner Winter stands apart. This is not a book of platitudes. It is a guide, a companion, and a quiet revolution.
For those who feel left behind in the light-chasing world of manifestation, productivity, and peak performance, The Inner Winter offers a new paradigm: healing that begins in the dark and roots you in wholeness.
