[#120] Winter Wellness Wisdom: Why Your Body Doesn't Care About January 1st. (& big news!)

New year, new... burnout? Let's talk about why your body might be side-eyeing your ambitious January goals.

In this episode, I'm getting real about the cultural pressure to "start strong" when your body is literally screaming for rest. We're diving into why winter goal-setting feels like swimming upstream, how your menstrual cycle is secretly your best planning tool, and why that 3 PM energy crash might be telling you something way more important than your to-do list. If you're a high-performer who's been white-knuckling your way through rigid routines, or you're wondering why every January feels like a setup for failure—this one's for you, babe.

Plus: Updates on my brand new website (finally!), free sourdough guide, and 2026 journal prompts to start your year with actual self-awareness instead of another failed protocol.
