If you’ve ever noticed your mood feels off in the spring or you experience seasonal mood changes when the weather gets nicer, this episode is for you.
Everything around you starts to feel lighter this time of year. More sunlight. Warmer days. More activity.
And yet… you might not feel the way you expected to.
Not severely depressed. Not in crisis.
Just a little off. A little heavier. Not quite yourself.
In this episode, I talk about:
🔸 Why this can happen and why it’s not as unusual as it may seem
🔸 The subtle ways seasonal transitions can affect your mood and energy
🔸 Why your energy and mood don’t always rise at the same time
🔸 How expectations around “feeling better” in the spring can actually make things feel harder
🔸 The idea of your inside not matching your outside, and why that can feel so uncomfortable
This isn’t about fixing anything or adding more to your plate.
It’s about understanding what might be going on.
If you’ve felt this way before, or you’re feeling it right now, this episode might help you make a little more sense of it and feel less alone.

For this 100th episode, I wanted to do something a little different. So I'm telling you the fuller story behind why this podcast exists. The burnout. The turning point. And the belief that's shaped everything I teach since.
Rather than a list of fall health tips, this episode is about recognizing how the fall season can naturally support your health goals... if you choose to see it that way.
