Welcome to Part 1 of a new 3-part series on cycles. (👀Coming up next? Perimenopause and menopause.) Even though the linear, Gregorian calendar has us celebrating the new year in the darkness of winter, nature and our bodies know the truth: cycles and seasons flow in their own time. But how can we embrace cyclical rhythms in a world designed to suppress or ignore them? It starts with noticing what’s available to us, and making subtle shifts in the direction of our inner knowing. Think of this episode like a buffet—there are myriad ways to engage with the cycles and seasons in our lives and creative practices.
