In this week’s Moon Phases & Feminine Power: Your Weekly Cycle Sync, we attune to the New Moon—the first New Moon of the calendar year.

As January slowly comes to a close, this moment invites us to listen rather than rush, to rest rather than push. Here in the Northern Hemisphere, we are still in winter—a season that mirrors the New Moon’s quiet, inward, yin energy.

This episode is a reminder that this is not the time for big decisions or bold action. Instead, it’s a powerful opportunity to slow down, unplug from external noise, and reconnect with what you truly desire—beneath the “shoulds,” expectations, and pressure to perform.

We explore:

🌑 Why winter and the New Moon are deeply connected energetically

🌑 How darkness supports clarity, creativity, and nervous system regulation

🌑 Why rest is essential for insight, healing, and sustainable growth

🌑 How to honor your body, energy, and emotions during this phase

You’ll also learn why you may notice more stars during the New Moon, how reduced stimulation supports deeper listening, and why the “seeds” of your hopes and intentions are often planted in moments of stillness rather than action.

In the solo episode, we explore a topic that brings up a lot of resistance for creative, intuitive, and neurodivergent women: schedules and structure.

Through a real-life reflection from a long-term 1:1 client session, this episode gently reframes the idea of “schedules” and invites us to consider something softer and more supportive—rhythms, systems, and predictable anchors that help the nervous system feel safe.

If you’ve ever felt like structure isn’t for you, or that routines feel constricting, controlling, or overwhelming, this conversation is for you.

We explore how resistance to schedules is often rooted not in laziness or lack of discipline, but in nervous system conditioning, childhood unpredictability, and burnout—and why what feels familiar isn’t always what’s most supportive for who you are now.

In This Episode, We Explore:

📆 How chaotic or unpredictable childhoods shape our relationship with structure

📆 The difference between rigid schedules and supportive rhythms

📆 Why predictability helps regulate the nervous system and reduce overwhelm

📆 How routines support hormonal balance and circadian rhythm regulation

📆 Why cyclical living is a built-in, body-based system of support

This week, we’re attuning to the energy of the waning moon, a powerful yet often misunderstood phase of the lunar cycle. As the moon’s light begins to fade and we approach the dark moon, many of us feel more tired, introspective, or low-energy—and that’s not a problem to fix. It’s wisdom to listen to.

In this episode, we explore how the waning moon invites us to slow down, release what’s no longer working, and integrate the lessons illuminated by the recent full moon. We’ll talk about why this phase is not meant for new beginnings, how lunar cycles influence our energy and emotions, and why honoring rest is essential for nervous system health—especially during winter in the Northern Hemisphere.

You’ll also hear reflections on:

🌘 How the moon affects the tides—and why that matters for our bodies

🌘 Why rest and recovery are necessary for emotional processing and healing

🌘 What it means to “let go” in both practical and internal ways

🌘 The wisdom of the Metal element in Traditional Chinese Medicine and its connection to refinement, boundaries, grief, and release

🌘 How to work with cyclical energy instead of pushing against it

This is an episode for anyone who feels pressured to keep going when their body is asking for a pause. If you’re feeling called to reflect, release, and make space before setting intentions for the year ahead, this one is for you.
