i have never been a new years resolution person, i have never been a winter person, i have always been depressed and seasonal depression is just worse. THANK YOU for putting so many of my feelings into such eloquent words. the ableism and fatphobia around the new year new you marketing of this time of year is so toxic. so grateful to have this gem in my life now.
wow thank you for this. i needed to give myself permission to wait until spring to start working through my goals and dreams and this was so validating. i give myself permission to rest
i finally got a chance to listen to this! i feel it so much, i'm glad i'm not alone here. this season, i really felt the desire to separate myself from the gregorian calendar so instead of setting (usually) unattainable goals, i decided to use the winter solstice as a day to welcome in new light both physically and mentally while letting go of the dark things i no longer want to be present in my life. honestly, it was so refreshing to do something that put me in sync with the season without unbearable pressure. its been difficult to adjust to as of recently, but new things take time!
i thoroughly enjoyed this episode this morning, best of luck growing your roots <3
I happened upon a podcast of yours on Twitter, and wow!I was only able to listen to the beginning of it and sadly I cannot recall which episode, but based off some digging I know it was a part of your January series exploring the saying “poor people don’t deserve to have children”.
After reading this all I want to say wow. Your thoughts and words have put together so many feelings I have experienced in a way that makes me feel seen! I am so thankful for finding this app and finding your journey ♥️
I don’t think I’ve ever followed through with new year resolutions when I make them Jan. 1st, seasonal depression takes such a toll on my mental health and this December I even quit my job so I could rest (and crochet gifts for holiday time). I’m greatly looking forward to there being more sun and warmth in the world and in my life. Wishing all the best to everyone
Love this perspective, always thought the same. My physical body and spiritual energy move with the earth as one. It feels wrong to move through life and the world without a connection to it.
“even water moves so slow that it stops!” wow
oh my god YES YES YESSSS
i’ve never been able to put this feeling into words,, but as someone who feels like hibernating when it’s frozen outside this rings so true
