The Winter Within – Why You’re Feeling Low and What It Really Means 
Listen to the Leigh Milne holistic focused psychologist at the  Transcending Trauma Podcast. “Flat. Foggy. Fatigued.If you’ve been feeling low this winter and can’t seem to ‘push through’ like you used to—this conversation is for you.”
In this episode, I explore the hidden wisdom in winter’s heaviness and why your low energy isn’t laziness, but part of your body’s intelligent design. 
Here’s what we dive into:The Winter Brain – How shorter days, melatonin, serotonin, and cold weather impact mood and motivation.🌍 The Collective Nervous System – Why global unrest, climate change, and constant digital noise are exhausting us more than we realise.🌈 From Breakdown to Breakthrough – How winter can be a sacred pause, a portal to transformation, and a reminder that we are evolving into new ways of being.
Plus, I’ll share rituals and practices to reset your rhythm, warm your spirit, and reconnect to nature’s deeper cycles. 🌲🔥
💡 Remember: You’re not broken. You’re responding—to the season, to the world, and to the deep inner wisdom of your body.
