Hi Reader!
We've reached the end of the year... hooray?
Endings can bring a sense of satisfaction, success or regret, frustration and bitterness.
Most likely a combination of all the feels, depending on what you're focusing on.
Change doesn't happen like a switch. It's more of a spectrum.
A shift of actions, focus and identities working in combination that change how it feels when you show up.
When we combine this formula with a moment in time that's ripe for sparking transformational shifts, magic happens.
But in order for the magic to happen, you have to follow the flow.
Your Adventure of the Week
While days are incrementally creeping longer, there is still work to do in the dark.
Continuing with the signature move of this winter-inspired season with Return is Transitions + Pauses, resist the urge to skip ahead into 'New Year, New You' goals.
Take the time to sit in the twinkly quiet.
Reflect on this past cycle.
- Glean the lessons it taught you and the ways it honed your skills, leveled you up, knocked you down, prepared you for what's next.
- Spend time unraveling stories that have held you back.
- Notice patterns and whether or not they support you experiencing a Flourishing Glow across all of you.
Cozy up with a good book. (my suggestions here)
Use the power of other people's stories to help you through your own.
- Unravel your own story by noticing how story characters handle life's ups, downs and plot twists
- Notice where your own story is stuck
- Use the Story Shift Guide to help you see your next cozy fiction through a new lens.
Chill the F*ck Out.
This one is two-sided. I had my meltdown moment over my husband using the kids' motivation to gain some video game time to get them to start taking down the Christmas decorations. And while I could have responded vs reacted (aka chilled out), my Glow has been telling me that I need to 'chill out' in Safe Stillness.
- Play with strategic slowness and sink into presence and reflection.
- Regain your bearings while the wisps of the holidays linger but the pressures, obligations and traditions are done.
- Draw in your energy from all of the places that it has been pulled over the past year and reflect on how you want to allocate it for the coming seasons.
The primary energetic needs of this season include a sense of Restoration, Rest, Safety and Capacity.
When we utilize intentional Transitions + Pauses, we are not stuck in a Freeze state, but one of Safe Stillness.
By spending the time we need partaking in these adventures, we honor the natural cycle of our Glow and our place in this vast universe.
Slowing down and creating moments to listen to our Glow helps us navigate this season and the future ahead with more capacity and confidence.

Ask yourself-
- How has this past year helped me grow and Glow?
- What do I feel ready to leave behind?
- When I'm being honest with myself, what are things I sense I need to change, but am having trouble actually honoring that knowing?
- What would make me feel like I had more permission to live the life that lights me up?
(The Glow Clarity sessions are designed to help you navigate these thoughts and feelings, untangle them and see them through the lens of how your energy is naturally designed to flow. Learn more and book your session and feel the clarity you've been craving.)
Reader, we're in a rare moment where the whole world is on the same cusp, where change feels not only inevitable but entirely possible. There is still that thrill of hope. The secret is to honor the pause this moment is designed for so the clarity breaks through.
Whatever you're relieved and ready to leave behind, this is the time to let it go. I'll see you on the flip side.
p.s. even a pocket or two of 'safe stillness' can be enough to spark something. But if you are craving real transformation that you can can even happen right in the middle of 'all the things', this is the moment your Glow has been waiting for.
Three things that are adding more 'yay' to my day this week-

I cheered like a kid, raising this present over my head with a huge grin on my face. I definitely felt the magic of Christmas with this one.

My walk streak hit 2,220 days this week. But what's even more important is that despite the icy rain, keeping up my streak felt pretty darn great.
