Time to do this season a bit differently! Today’s episode is a permission slip to lean into however you’re feeling this season.
Episode transcript:
Hello. Just popping in before our episode to give you a friendly heads up that doors are closing for 1 woman band club that is starting in January. So if you fancy kicking off 2025 with a shitload of support and you've been meaning to book, now is the time. You can find out more and grab your place by going to the rebel rousers.comforward/onewomanband, and I would be honored to have you there and support you during 2025. Good morning Daili Peppers and a very happy Friday to you. Now, this season is a really funny fucker. For some people, we love the holidays, we love the bright lights, and it makes us feel really cozy and loved. And for other people, this season is complicated.
It brings up feelings of loneliness. It just feels hard, and it brings up so much stuff. So for today's daily pep, I want you to lean into whatever this season feels like for you and do what is the most loving and nurturing thing for you. For you, it might be actually watching loads of horror films and going as anti Christmas as you possibly can. It could look like being really selective about the things you love and really intentionally avoiding the things you don't. And it could also look like making some hard decisions that are gonna protect your well-being even if they might not go down too well. The whole point here is to meet yourself where you're at. It is okay if you hate this season.
It's okay if you love this season. It's okay if you have no particular feelings. But don't try and force yourself into feeling something that you're not feeling. For most of us around here, authenticity tends to be one of our core values, and we can't fake it till we make it even if we tried. But sometimes we get caught up in trying really fucking hard because we feel like there's something wrong with how we're feeling or other people want us to feel a certain way. But if that's not happening, it's not happening and that's okay. So lean into what you need this season. I'm all about leaning into the season and following the seasons.
But what I really mean there is following your own internal seasons. They do not have to line up with the actual season we're in because the most important thing is that it's gotta be true for you. So have a think today about what season you're in and what would be some really nice ideas to lean into that season and really honor yourself. I can't wait to be back with you bright and early as always on Monday morning. And in your inbox on Sunday, if you subscribe to my weekly letters of rebellion, and if you subscribe to my weekly letters of rebellion, and if you wanna find out more about what they even are, head over to the rebelrousers/letters. And I'd love to invite you along. Whether I see you on Sunday or Monday, have a good one. And remember that everything changes when you believe you matter.
