The Winter Arc – A Mid-Year Reset to Refocus, Realign & Rebuild

If you’re feeling like 2025 has already slipped through your fingers — and not quite in the way you pictured — this conversation is for you.

In this honest mid-year reflection, I’m sharing my own journey through unexpected challenges, deep surrender, and the quiet transformation that has marked the first half of the year.

I’ll walk you through the idea of a Winter Arc: a dedicated season to pause, to reckon with what’s no longer serving you, and to lay the foundations that will carry you into the second half of the year with clarity, conviction, and a steadier heart.

From letting go of misaligned visions, to recommitting to the smallest habits that often shape the biggest outcomes, this is an invitation to reset in a way that feels anchored, hopeful, and true to the woman you’re becoming.

In This Episode, I Share:

  • Why 2025 has been a year of deep surrender and unexpected plot twists

  • The grief and beauty of turning 40 — and releasing old stories about where I should be by now

  • What it means to live a Winter Arc and how to use this season as a springboard

  • Five areas to focus on over the next two months:

    1. Reflect – Review what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what you’re carrying forward

    2. Realign – Remove the habits draining your energy and replace them with intention

    3. Recommit – Choose 3–5 simple daily habits to rebuild your foundations

    4. Rebuild – Reassess your goals and set clear priorities for the rest of the year

    5. Romanticise – Slow down, be present, and infuse your life with small moments of joy

  • The power of surrendering your plans to God — and trusting in a bigger story unfolding
