"What if honouring seasonal rhythms is part of healing?"
Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? In this episode, Laura Lummer, a two-time breast cancer survivor, takes a refreshing approach to the concept of seasonal rhythms and their impact on health and recovery. She introduces the idea of 'evolutionary mismatch,' a fascinating concept that explains why our bodies might feel out of sync with modern societal pressures, especially during the winter months.
Laura shares her personal experiences with the listeners, illustrating how understanding and aligning with natural cycles can significantly aid in healing and maintaining well-being. With a light-hearted touch, Laura questions the societal pressure to hit the ground running at the start of a new year, encouraging listeners to instead tune into what their bodies truly need. She draws on her extensive training in Ayurveda and metabolic health to offer practical advice on aligning with seasonal energies.
Through anecdotes and expert insights, Laura invites her audience to consider how small adjustments in lifestyle and mindset can lead to profound changes in health. This episode is particularly supportive for women recovering from breast cancer, but its themes of self-compassion and body awareness resonate universally. Laura's message is clear: it's not about abandoning goals but about approaching them in a way that respects our biology and nurtures our well-being.
So, what small step will you take today to honour your body's needs?
