Right after the Daylight Saving time change, when darker evenings, cooler air, and the first waves of holiday stress arrive, many of us feel a tug between extra energy in the crisp mornings and fall fatigue by late afternoon. In this conversation, Blaze explores how the season itself invites us to slow down, savor the small things (hot tea, soup, birdsong), and practice mindful self-care before the rush of gatherings and to-dos ramps up.
Drawing on personal stories about aging, presence, and sensitivity, Blaze shares how to notice early signs of burnout and overwhelm, honor introvert needs during family gatherings, and set compassionate boundaries so you can enjoy connection without losing yourself. You’ll hear simple ways to tune into your body with tiny check-ins, breath, or a short walk outside, that support nervous system regulation and help you return to what actually matters.
This week’s Anchor Practice, The 60-Second Soften, guides you to pause, release tension, and reset - in the kitchen, in the car, or even between conversations - so you can meet the season with presence, not pressure.
If you’ve been pushing through, let this be your permission slip: you don’t have to earn rest. Slowing down now is how you protect your energy, deepen gratitude, and show up for the people (and moments) you love.
