Jenny explores how 'wintering' – a time for healing and introspection – is not a luxury, but a vital part of our well-being.
Join Jenny as she shares personal insights and reflections inspired by May's journey and her unique approach to life's ebb and flow. Learn how to give yourself permission to pause without guilt, and understand the cyclical nature of our experiences.
