This month’s Strong Heart Note reflects on living with less stress and more ease through seasonal rhythms of slowing down and rest. Drawing from December’s exploration of The Sacredness of Slow and January’s theme of Embracing Winter’s Quiet, the newsletter examines how slowing pace, conserving energy, and inhabiting stillness can soften stress and restore clarity.

Inside, you’ll find thoughtful reflections on stress, time, and energy, along with a short guided meditation and seasonal practices designed to support nervous system regulation, winter rest, and a more sustainable way of moving through daily life.
