About this listen

As the days grow shorter and the nights stretch longer, many of us feel the weight of winter settling into our bones. It's more than just the cold — it's a heaviness in the heart, a fog in the mind, a longing for light. In this episode, we're talking about Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) — what it is, why it happens, and how to find your way back to balance when the darkness feels overwhelming. Whether through light therapy, herbal allies, or simple daily rituals, there are ways to honor this season without letting it consume you.
