Do you suffer with SAD or just get those January blues and can’t wait for it to be summer again? Well, this is an episode that will solve all your winter problems.In this conversation with Suzy Reading, we explore the importance of self-care during the winter months and how to embrace winter as a wonderful, nurturing season, not just a season to ‘get through’. Talking around Suzy’s book, Self-Care for Winter, we discuss the concept of wintering through self-care, its significance for mental and emotional health, and introduce a framework of seven gentle steps to nurture oneself through the challenges of winter. The discussion emphasises the need for connection with nature and ‘awe hunting’, the importance of comforting rituals and community, as well as the value of reflection as a means to foster well-being during the colder, darker months. Suzy demonstrates some practical exercises that take just moments to do but will completely lift your day.Suzy’s concept of ‘Gentle January’ is a balanced approach to post-holiday wellness that ensures you are looking after yourself during the winter months and investing in your future self whilst doing so. About Suzy ReadingSuzy is a mother of two, an author, Chartered Psychologist, yoga teacher and coach.

Together we explore what it truly means to feel safe in your own body not conceptually, but physically. What is the elusive nervous system? What is nervous system regulation? Not only does Georgie answer these questions beautifully and more, she shares her honest, moving story of anxiety, panic attacks, postnatal depression and the pivotal moment during the pandemic that led her to discover the power of nervous system work. Her journey will resonate with anyone who has ever pushed through life on adrenaline, overridden their inner knowing or lived in a constant state of “what if”.Across this conversation you’ll learn:What the nervous system actually is beyond mindset, beyond theoryWhy so many women live in survival mode without realising itThe difference between ventral vagal (safety), sympathetic (fight/flight), and dorsal vagal (freeze)How your upbringing, past experiences and old protective patterns create your current responsesWhy your body “borrows” energy from digestion, immunity and sleep when you’re stressedHow nervous system states influence people pleasing, burnout, procrastination and overthinkingWhy traditional calming techniques don’t work when you’re too activatedThe simple cues your body gives you when you’re shifting back into regulationHow reconnecting with your inner child restores safety and softens old survival tendenciesGeorgie also generously walks us through two beautiful, accessible practices that you can use anytime you need to.Connect with GeorgieInsta @georgieshearsstrategistWebsite: www.shift-yours.com Georgie Shears is a Nervous System Strategist and ICF-accredited Neurosomatics practitioner who works with high-achieving founders, leaders, and entrepreneurs ready to elevate how they live and lead.
