Whimsy Woman Winter
78 Plays10 months ago
Kels is here to officially declare it: TIS THE SEASON OF WHIMSY *british accent please* The world is...fucked up right now, and we are doing the work to make things right, to be able to keep doing that we need to survive, and that's where the whimsy comes in. Allow yourself to get lost this winter. In your dreams, in a comfort show, in a new book series, just allow yourself an escape, find your peace. Then when things get real cold and dark, you know that you have somewhere safe to escape to for just a moment, to find your peace.

Introduction to Awakened Fake
00:00:01
Speaker
Welcome to Awakened Fake, an educational, high vibrational, mystical, spiritual pop, I'm sorry, podcast from one girl, one joy and a journey to awaken what's inside all of us. In the words of the wise was Khalifa, let's roll something and get the day started. You know, it's been over two years that I've been doing that intro and I still get terrified every single time that I'm going to fuck it up. Um, and I do.
00:00:25
Speaker
I still mess it up. I get so in my head about it. But again, nailed it. First try. I hope you heard some Phoebe hiccups in
Overcoming Podcast Nerves
00:00:32
Speaker
there. Yes, Phoebe is in the studio with me today recording this lovely episode for you guys. Hello, good morning, good morrow. If you have been waiting patiently for this episode that was supposed to drop at 6am like ours normally do,
00:00:45
Speaker
Sorry, that hasn't happened. It is now 9.30 on Thursday and I'm recording this, but that's because here at the Acres household, we've got a little bit of COVID, a little bit of RSV, a newborn, three fucking dogs. It's a lot going on here. It's been crazy. I am holding on by the seat of my pants. Barely. Yeah, I don't even really have words. It's just been a lot.
Theme Introduction: Whimsical Winter
00:01:13
Speaker
Um, but I am here to talk to you today about the theme of this winter. It has taken me some time to come up with it. I have been trying to decide, you know, we have our typical fried girl, fried girl fall, uh, this year. We're going to go for a whimsical winter. Okay. That is what I need. I need some fucking whimsy in my life. It is a whimsical woman winter. We are dreamy. We are cozy.
00:01:44
Speaker
we are reading we are fictitious i mean like reading fiction books like i want you getting lost in novels i mean read educational stuff too but i'm just saying we need an escape um and that does not mean we're not going to be doing the fucking work here on the ground yes yes i we
00:02:05
Speaker
we're doing shit. Okay. But then I am going to be embracing, um, much more of like the fun times and the positive calm of winter to get me through this season, because it is going to, it is already starting off to be a doozy. Let me tell you, uh, like I said, we have like
Navigating Illness and Global Stress
00:02:30
Speaker
all these illnesses going through the house like it's just wild then there's you know the global shit that's happening um that i don't need to explain to you um and so like as we've said every episode from for the last i don't know god honestly it feels like since the beginning because things haven't been like
00:02:55
Speaker
normal quote-unquote since 2019 so that's like even before we started this but like yes the world is kind of shit and so this winter I am focusing on hibernating and being dreamy and I am wearing my pajamas as I am I'm waking up and I'm changing into pajamas like I am wearing the comfiest clothes and romanticizing the fuck out of it and I'm drinking hot chocolate in the morning and
Embracing Winter for Well-being
00:03:21
Speaker
I'm gonna bake bread and we're making soups and like I am just I'm hibernating I am whimsically hibernating with my baby and my puppies and my husband and I am blocking out the world obviously except for like the important stuff um and so yeah I feel good to know that I have my theme I feel like I always need like
00:03:45
Speaker
I don't know. I like themes. I like to have a, uh, I was going to say a purpose, but I don't think that's the true, like that's the true meaning of what I'm trying to say, but just like, I like, I like having coordination. Ooh, maybe that's it. I'm realizing I'm a lot more type A than I thought I was. Um, I think I mentioned on here that we're working through like a possible OCD diagnoses, which I'm realizing I kind of don't
00:04:15
Speaker
Excuse me. Now that I don't agree with, I just like, I think it's a very fluid thing, my mental health and everyone's mental health, so I don't think I, I don't know, I don't need to dissect this with you guys.
00:04:32
Speaker
What I'm saying bitch is just have fun this winter and be calm and be cozy and be warm and listen to your podcasts and do your guilty pleasure shit and knit a blanket if you want maybe start a hobby maybe don't watch your comfort shows this is it guys we have we are entering it is time the snow is coming what is that thing from that show that everyone loves Game of Thrones

And just like, yeah, I'm just leaning into this healing.
Encouragement for Personal Growth
00:05:25
Speaker
I'm leaning into what winter brings us, which is the reminder of stillness and to allow our dead leaves to fall off and to, you know, go into the ground and let the cyclical nature of the world continue. And this is our time to breathe. There's a lot going on and we just need to slow the fuck down.
00:05:51
Speaker
and breathe. And then like dream about fairies and shit guys.

And really stepping into the role of mother I think is what I'm saying, is I'm taking this time to learn what it takes to be like a real fucking badass mom. A mom with like a little potion like, so my daughter runs up to me and she's like, I don't know, this hurts, I can just pull up my little,
