What Winter Was Trying to Teach Me…

Slowing down, listening inward, and supporting your inner fire

For years, the holidays brought up something I didn’t want to admit:

I wasn’t excited.
I was exhausted.

Everyone else talked about “magic” and “cozy family time,” and meanwhile I was running on fumes — overscheduled, underslept, and secretly bracing myself for the crash that always came afterward.

And I thought it was normal.
Part of being a mom.
Part of being a woman.
Part of “doing all the things.”

But here’s the truth I wish someone had told me:

My body wasn’t failing me.
I was failing my body.


The Year It All Fell Apart

There was one year I will never forget — not because it was special, but because it was the moment I realized something had to change.

I was:

  • staying up too late wrapping gifts
  • skipping meals
  • living on coffee
  • snapping at my kids
  • fighting the beginnings of a cold I didn’t have time for
  • and pretending everything was fine

And then Christmas morning came…
and I felt awful.

Foggy. Inflamed. Like I might cry at any moment.
I wasn’t able to enjoy any of it.

My kids felt it.
My body felt it.
My heart felt it.

And in that moment, I realized:
This isn’t what I want to model.
This isn’t the life I’m here to live.


The Missing Piece No One Talks About

When I finally found Ayurveda and seasonal living, everything clicked:

My exhaustion wasn’t a personal failure.
It was a seasonal mismatch.

Winter demands:

  • warmth
  • slowness
  • depth
  • nourishment
  • quiet
  • rhythm

…while modern holiday culture demands the opposite.

No wonder so many women struggle with:

  • anxiety
  • low energy
  • sugar cravings
  • poor sleep
  • bloating
  • inflammation
  • feeling “off” in their bodies

Winter affects:
digestion, hormones, immunity, mood, and the nervous system.

You’re not crazy.
You’re not “too sensitive.”
You’re seasonal — because you’re human.


What Finally Helped

Once I slowed down and aligned my habits with the season, everything shifted:

  • I stopped getting sick every winter
  • my digestion became stronger
  • my energy stabilized
  • my cravings eased
  • I became more patient, grounded, and present
  • holidays actually started to feel good again

And the biggest surprise?

Simple herbal remedies made a huge difference.
Fire cider. Ginger-honey remedies. Warm, spiced drinks.
Little daily rituals that stoked my inner fire.

None of it was complicated.
All of it was powerful.


If you want to experience this too…

Tomorrow, I’m teaching a live workshop called ROOTED: A Seasonal Medicine-Making Workshop — where you’ll learn the exact practices that helped me reclaim winter in a whole new way.

We’ll make:
🍯 Fire Cider
🔥 Golden Fire Honey
…and you’ll get a beautiful, printable winter workbook.

You’ll walk away with:

  • stronger digestion
  • better immunity
  • a calmer nervous system
  • clarity for the holiday season
  • simple rituals to stay grounded
  • remedies you can use all winter

Or — get even more support (for less)

You’ll get:
✨ Weekly Empowered Wisdom Drops

However you join me… I hope this winter feels different.

Slower. Softer.
More intentional.
More present.

You deserve to feel nourished during the holidays — not depleted by them.

And I’d love to walk with you in that shift.

Why Perimenopause Is Not a Disease (and What It Really Means)

For too long, women have been told that perimenopause is a problem to be fixed, a disease to be treated, or something to simply “get through.” But what if this season of life is actually one of the most powerful transitions a woman can experience? In today’s podcast episode, I’m reframing midlife not as a medical condition, but as a sacred rite of passage—one that calls us deeper into wisdom, truth, and freedom in our own bodies.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, pathologized, or overwhelmed by the changes of perimenopause, this conversation is for you.

Listen below and explore the show notes for key takeaways.

Episode 2 – Perimenopause Is Not a Disease: Reframing Midlife as a Sacred Rite of Passage

Published: August 19, 2025
Host: Jessica Robinson | Sacred Wisdom Wellness Podcast – Where Holistic Health, Spiritual Truth, and Real Freedom Meet


Episode Summary:

Perimenopause is not something to fear, medicate away, or hide. It’s not the end of your beauty or vitality — it’s a sacred initiation into deeper wisdom, sovereignty, and freedom.

In this episode, I invite you to see perimenopause in a whole new light. Through both cultural critique and Ayurvedic perspective, I share why resisting this transition often creates more suffering — and how embracing it can unlock intuition, clarity, and spiritual growth.

What We Explore:

  • Why perimenopause is more than just a hormonal shift
  • How cultural lies about aging keep women stuck in fear and resistance
  • Ayurveda’s perspective on the Vata season of life (and what your body needs now)
  • Why “anti-aging” is actually anti-woman
  • How midlife can become the beginning of sovereignty, not the end of vitality

Your midlife is not a decline.
It’s a divine invitation into sovereignty,
freedom, and deeper wisdom.


Perimenopause: A Sacred Rite of Passage We’re Meant to Embrace

We were never meant to fight our way through midlife with fear in our hearts and a handful of prescriptions in our purses.

Perimenopause is not a disease. It’s not the end of your beauty, your vitality, or your worth.
It is a sacred rite of passage — a threshold into a season of deeper wisdom, freedom, and self-possession.

Yet in our culture, we’ve been taught to see it as something to resist at all costs.


The Cultural Lie About Aging

We live in a world obsessed with youth — where “looking younger” is marketed as the ultimate achievement and where aging is something to hide, correct, or fix.

In this new movement of “women who don’t age,” we’re losing something essential: the honoring of the midlife years as a powerful, sacred transition.

Perimenopause — the years leading up to menopause — is not just a biological process. It’s a spiritual initiation. But the way our culture frames it, many women are going through this doorway kicking, screaming, and clinging desperately to a version of themselves that no longer exists.


Why Fighting Nature Hurts Us

The more we resist the natural shifts of this season, the more suffering we create for ourselves.
Instead of listening to the body and supporting it through gentle, aligned practices, we are encouraged to:

  • Medicate away symptoms with blanket solutions like HRT without addressing root causes
  • Augment our bodies to hold onto youth instead of allowing them to evolve
  • Overwork and overstimulate ourselves to match the pace we could keep in our 20s or 30s

The truth? These years are meant to be different. You’re not supposed to have the same energy, body rhythms, or needs you once had — and that’s a good thing.


Ayurveda’s Wisdom on Midlife

In Ayurveda, perimenopause marks the beginning of the Vata season of life — a time when the energy of air and space increases. This is a period for:

  • Reflection and integration of your life’s experiences
  • Simplifying and refining what truly matters
  • Turning inward for wisdom and spiritual connection
  • Releasing what no longer serves your body, mind, or soul

When approached with care, this transition can bring increased clarity, deeper intuition, and a freedom you didn’t have in earlier decades.


A Call to Embrace, Not Resist

Rather than trying to “fix” perimenopause, what if we honored it?
What if we moved through it willingly, with grace — supporting our bodies with nourishing foods, gentle movement, herbal allies, rest, and spiritual practices?

What if we showcased midlife as the glorious window of time it truly is — where beauty is defined by presence, vitality, and wisdom rather than wrinkle-free skin?

This is not a season to dread. It’s a season to step fully into this rite of passage.

If you’re ready to move through perimenopause with grace and vitality, let’s connect.
I offer a complimentary 20-minute Clarity Call where we’ll talk about your top health challenges and how an Ayurvedic approach can support you in this sacred season.
If we’re a good fit, I’ll share the ways we can work together for deeper support.

Your Ultimate Guide to Perimenopause Series

The midlife time in a woman’s life has always been shrouded in mystery. Some women never speak of it at all and suffer in silence, while others are constantly complaining about the infamous hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings.

What’s been lacking for a long time is a comprehensive guide that educates women on the natural flow of this sacred transition and the type of care she needs.

This is why I created this 5-part video series on perimenopause that goes deeper.
I’ll walk you through what’s really happening during this transition, how to support yourself holistically, and why this time is sacred — not shameful.

Your Ultimate Guide to Perimenopause (Part 1 of 5) – Reframing Perimenopause as a Sacred Transition

Most women are taught to fear this phase of life, but perimenopause isn’t the beginning of your breakdown — it’s the beginning of your becoming.


Your Ultimate Guide to Perimenopause (Part 2 of 5) – The Fire Builds

Early Perimenopause

  • Age Range: Late 30s to early 40s (sometimes earlier)
  • What’s Happening: Estrogen and progesterone start to fluctuate unpredictably. Ovulation may still occur, but less consistently.
  • Common Signs:
    • Shorter cycles or irregular periods
    • Increased PMS or mood swings
    • Fatigue or sleep disturbances
    • Anxiety, irritability, breast tenderness

Sacred Invitation:
👉 Begin listening to your body more deeply. Start releasing overcommitment and overgiving.


Your Ultimate Guide to Perimenopause (Part 3 of 5) – The Storm

Mid Perimenopause

  • Age Range: Typically 42–48 (varies)
  • What’s Happening: Hormones shift more dramatically. Progesterone drops, estrogen surges and dips erratically. Cycles may become very irregular or heavy.
  • Common Signs:
    • Night sweats, hot flashes
    • Worsening anxiety or depression
    • Heavy or skipped periods
    • Brain fog, rage, or intense emotions

Sacred Invitation:
👉 Shed what no longer serves. Set boundaries. Honor rest and retreat. This is a sacred purification — not a breakdown.


Your Ultimate Guide to Perimenopause (Part 4 of 5) – The Descent Before Rebirth

Late Perimenopause

  • Age Range: Late 40s to early 50s
  • What’s Happening: Ovaries slow down production of estrogen. You may go several months without a period. Once you’ve gone 12 months without one, menopause officially begins.
  • Common Signs:
    • Longer gaps between periods
    • Fewer emotional swings, but persistent fatigue or dryness
    • Sleep may still be affected
    • A new calm or clarity may begin to emerge

Sacred Invitation:
👉 Deepen into self-trust. Reorient to purpose. Prepare for the rebirth that comes with menopause.


Your Ultimate Guide to Perimenopause (Part 5 of 5) – Recap

 Perimenopause isn’t a diagnosis — it’s an awakening.

🔥 The fire builds.
🌪 The storm hits.
🌙 The descent begins.

Each stage asks something different of you — and when you listen, you move through this transition with more ease, clarity, and self-respect.

This isn’t about fixing what’s “wrong.”
It’s about returning to what’s true.

Freedom Isn’t Found in a Pill or a Protocol

We talk a lot about freedom in this country, but when I look at how most women are living — exhausted, overextended, disconnected from their bodies and trapped in cycles of depletion — I have to ask — Is this really freedom?

In this first episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it means to live under the illusion of freedom — and how cultural conditioning, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and chronic survival mode have kept us from our birthright: true, embodied freedom in our health, our minds, our nervous systems, and our spirits.

If you’re feeling the nudge to take your power back — to reconnect to the truth of who you are and begin a healing journey that actually nourishes you — this episode is for you. 💙

Let this be your invitation to stop waiting and start choosing healing.

Top Health Benefits of Aloe Vera You Need to Know

You have probably heard of using aloe for a sunburn, but did you know that its uses are so PLENTIFUL?

ALOE can be powerful medicine for treating…

  • inflammation
  • digestion issues (like constipation, ulcers, gastritis)
  • all female reproductive issues (including peri/menopause)
  • wound healing
  • balancing blood sugar and fats
  • cold & flu
  • burns
  • skin damage
  • asthma
  • fever
  • jaundice
  • herpes
  • obesity
  • anemia
  • nourishes the liver, spleen, and blood

Aloe is antioxidant, anti-viral, anti-cancer, anti-tumor, detoxifying, and immuno-stimulating.

I hope you are as impressed with this herb as I am, and best of all — this beauty might already be one of the plants in your home! If not, you can probably pick one up at a local store and they are extremely forgiving houseplants.

ALOE is very easy to grow at home.

My advice – Put them in a sunny window and avoid over watering. They need to dry out a little between waterings. My aloe plants live outside in the summer months and do just find indoors when it’s freezing outside. I love having them around to use whenever we need it, which is quite often in any household with kids.

🍁3 Autumn Tips🧣

For me, Autumn has always carried with it an air of nostalgia. Once the leaves start turning and the air feels crisp, memories start to surface. Smells of pumpkin, apples, and cinnamon come alive and I’m reminded of so many yummy things — my Grandma’s pumpkin roll, apple butter, and warm toasted nuts, among others. 

It’s good to know that so many of the things we crave at certain times of year are actually your body’s way of telling you what it needs! Winter squash, pumpkins, root vegetables, more pungent spices, nuts, and hot teas are all good things to be incorporating right now to counter the cold, dry qualities that come naturally in fall and winter (depending on where you live). 

Here are 3 tips for living in a healthy way this Autumn…

1) Prioritize a mid-day meal!
In other words — don’t skip lunch! If you’re looking for a good meal to take to work, I recommend this One-Pot Kitchari. It’s EASY and quick and works well in a thermos.
2) Drink warm water instead of cold.
Fill up an insulated water bottle with warm-to-hot water and sip at least 2 ounces every 15-30 minutes. Warm water hydrates your cells better!
3) Go to bed early.
This time of year the daylight keeps dwindling until we get to the winter solstice (the shortest day and longest night of the year). Your body’s biology is being called to take more time for rest. Earlier sleep will pay you back in many ways – you’ll feel more rested when you wake, and your body will do more natural detoxification while you sleep if you go to bed before 10 pm. 

I hope these tips are helpful! If you’re curious about what I’ve been up to lately, check out this post on Facebook (or on Instagram).

🍎 I made my first apple pie a couple of weeks agoand I’m about to attempt a batch of apple butter for the first time — wish me luck! 

I created a simple workbook to help bring more harmony and healing into your everyday life and it’s free! Essential Ayurveda for Every Woman has 5 essential tips that anyone can benefit from (men too! 😉).
