Once upon a time, when people lived close to the land, winter was very real.

It was hunger, darkness, long nights, and not knowing if the food stores would last.

Imbolc came at the point in winter when people could feel, even faintly, that the hardest part might be behind them.

And now, we still mark this same moment with a groundhog named Punxsutawney Phil. He saw his shadow this year, which means 6 more weeks of winter ahead. 🙄

Even so, the light is returning. The days are lengthening, and Spring is closer than it was yesterday. 💚🌿

If you feel like doing something for Imbolc but don’t want to make a whole thing out of it, light some candles, or just one.

The flame can be your symbol of the return of the light and warmth, and Spring.

Traditionally, people use white, yellow, or red or green candles, but honestly, whatever you’ve got is perfect.

If you want, scratch a word, symbol, or intention into the candle.

Light the candle(s) and allow yourself to be in the energy of love and gratitude. 💚

Imbolc is an old seasonal marker that falls when winter isn’t over… but it isn’t quite the same anymore either.

The days are getting longer. The earth is still cold. And under the surface, things are starting to shift.

We're coming into the season of first stirrings and quiet nudges.

In nature, this is when roots start waking up before we ever see anything above ground, and it's exactly how it works in us, too.

For me, Imbolc isn't some big fresh-start energy yet.

It's about listening to what’s beginning to awaken and giving that a wee bit more attention.

Sometimes I don’t realize how much I’m living in my head until I’m exhausted from thinking about everything. Ugh!

Running through decisions, worrying about what I should do, trying to figure things out… and meanwhile my body is just kind of along for the ride.

That’s usually when I reach for Wood Betony. It gives me a gentle nudge back into my body, where I can actually feel what’s a yes and what’s a no.

My body knows things, and when I’m more in my body, decisions can get clearer.

Do you notice when you’ve drifted out of your body and up into your head?

We talk about winter like it only happens on the calendar, but anyone who’s been exhausted in July knows that’s not exactly true.

Winter shows up in people whenever it wants.

Sometimes it looks like exhaustion. Sometimes it’s grief, or overwhelm, or just wanting to pull in and be left alone for a while.

Winter doesn’t care what month it is.

That’s why tending yourself sometimes has more to do with your inner season than the actual season.

When someone’s in a personal winter, the work isn’t about pushing or figuring everything out. It’s about warmth, rest, nourishment, and not asking too much of yourself.

What does your inner season feel like these days?

01/25/2026

Some days I’m trying to grow and change and get clarity and all that stuff.

And some days… I’m just trying to stay regulated and not make things harder than they need to be.

Today feels like a maintenance day, just being.

What do your maintenance days look like?

01/23/2026

Some days I don’t actually feel tired… I feel everywhere.

Thinking about other people’s needs. Replaying conversations. Carrying stuff that probably isn’t even mine to carry.

One of the things Wood Betony teaches is this: when your energy is pulled in a hundred directions, it’s hard to feel whole.

So here’s a check-in: Where is your energy going that you’d kinda like to call back home?

Not like in a I'm gonna burn my life down kind of way. More like… what could you loosen your grip on, just a little?

You don’t have to fix everything. Sometimes you just gather yourself back first.

(If you’re working with Wood Betony right now, you know exactly what I mean.)

Most of my relationship with plants isn't a big thing.

It looks like drinking tea. Taking the same tincture every day for months. Noticing the same plant on my walks and saying hello.

You don’t need perfect quiet, candles, or a whole setup to be in relationship with plants. That kind of thing can be lovely, but it’s not how connection usually grows.

Connection grows in small, regular moments. When plants are part of your actual life.

If you want something simple to try:
🌿Drink your tea. Smell it, really taste it. See how it feels in your body.
🌿Put a hand on your belly or heart when you take your herbs and say thank you.
🌿Acknowledge one plant you pass all the time. It might even say hello back :)

Plants respond to attention and consistency.

What’s one way you're already connecting with plants?

You don’t have to be falling apart to ask for support.

Just because you’re functioning doesn’t mean you’re fine. You can still get up, do the things, take care of everyone else… and be quietly worn down at the same time.

One of the things I love about Wood Betony is that it doesn’t wait for a full-blown meltdown.

It meets that low-grade, always-on, holding-it-together kind of tired.

So here’s your permission slip.

You don’t have to be in crisis to deserve rest, care, or support. You don’t have to “earn” it by burning out first.

Sometimes tending yourself early is the most powerful move there is.

Winter isn’t about transcending the body. It’s about coming back into it.

This is root chakra season, safety, slowness, rest. Not escaping the body, but learning how to inhabit it.

A lot of people live in a low-grade state of pushing, holding it together, staying alert, staying productive…even when they’re sitting on the couch.

This season is about building the capacity to hold more life, more feeling, more awareness in the body without short-circuiting.

That’s exactly what plants are so damn good at teaching: slow, steady support and how to come back into the body.

Root first. Grow later.

I can pretty much guarantee your life isn’t happening at the bottom of a bag of chips or on Netflix, although neither of those is a 'bad' thing in my opinion. I love both!

But the reality is your life happens when you show up for it, even in the quiet, even in the slow, even in the messy middle.

This season isn’t about pushing. It’s about letting life open your heart, gently. 💜

I’m kind of sick of being told here are the five things to try before breakfast. Here’s the 10 steps for whatever the hell ails you.

I'm more interested in the deeper conversations.

I don’t need more information. I don’t need to fix anything. I need things that support me over time.

Healing, if that’s what you want to call it, comes from showing up to the same true things, over and over, until they start to settle my nervous system.

We’re in an age of information overload. And yeah, I scroll and Google too much sometimes, too.

But I’m really working on staying in relationship with myself and my intuition, instead of chasing the next thing that promises to fix me.

By the way, this is how plants work. Just sayin 😏💚
