Wintering is the intentional practice of slowing down, turning inward, and allowing yourself to rest and restore — emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

I don’t think these conversations are uncomfortable because power itself is bad — but because reclaiming it asks us to wake up, question things, and listen more deeply to ourselves. Sometimes, that stirs up the systems we’re part of — familial, cultural, institutional, societal — and that feels uncomfortable.

This is the heart of it. Coming home to yourself is noticing, listening to, and reclaiming the wisdom of your inner world. It’s returning to your body, your intuition, your presence—the parts of you that can get buried under life’s expectations and distractions.
