Sensitive Seasons with Em

03/02/2026

2016 - the year of searching ✨

I’d almost forgotten this year.
I didn’t realise how much I did, how much I lived, how much I carried.
It feels hazy now, like my body was moving, but my heart was still finding its way.

I see a sensitive soul who felt self-conscious, who wanted to hide, who tried to belong through people-pleasing.

I was teaching, the job I’d always dreamed of, yet it wasn’t quite what I expected.
The pressure to be something else, to fit into an insensitive world, while feeling everything so deeply inside.

There was travel, change, endings and quiet bravery.
Copenhagen. Dublin. Rome. Milan. Verona. Amsterdam.
New places; the same longing to feel accepted, to feel like I belonged.

It was the year before I met the man of my dreams.
The year before real happiness began to sparkle ✨

I look at these photos now with compassion.
2016 Em didn’t know it then, she felt shame for her sensitivity. But it was never a weakness… it was always her greatest power.

Every experience, every lesson, every season of my life has led me here.
And now… the 2026 Em has stepped into her purpose 🙌🏻

To empower sensitive souls.
To guide you from people-pleasing to peace.
To help you honour your sensitivity, trust your rhythm,
and live gently; flowing with the seasons and guided by the moon, one step at a time.

2016 Em would be so proud of 2026 Em.
She wasn’t lost.
She was becoming.

✨ The Snowdrop & the Sensitive Soul ✨

The snowdrop is a quiet miracle of Winter 🌱❄️.

It rises through frozen ground, soft yet resilient, delicate yet courageous, small yet luminous.

Sensitive souls are just the same. You feel deeply. You notice what others miss. You move gently through a world that can feel harsh and loud. And yet… your sensitivity is your strength. 🌙

Being sensitive does not mean you are weak.
Being quiet does not mean you are invisible.
Being gentle does not mean you cannot shine.

Like the snowdrop, you bloom quietly, steadily, beautifully, even against the odds.

You are resilient. You are confident. You are powerful in ways the world cannot always measure.

🌱 This Imbolc, honour your gentle strength.

💫 What small, quiet thing are you doing to shine this season? Comment below, let’s celebrate the luminous power of sensitive souls together

✨ Imbolc Blessings ✨
Imbolc marks the gentle return of the light; a sacred pause between Winter and Spring, where hope stirs, seeds begin to awaken, and new intentions quietly take root beneath the surface 🌱

This is a time to reflect, listen inward, and honour what is softly awakening within you… even if it’s not fully formed yet.

💫 What feels ready to emerge in your heart right now?

Welcome, beautiful sensitive souls, to February 🌱✨

We are still wrapped in Winter’s embrace, yet something subtle is stirring beneath the surface.
The light lingers a little longer.
The earth begins to whisper of what’s to come.
Like the snowdrop pushing through frozen ground, growth is happening quietly; even if you can’t see it yet.

Despite the world urging you to hurry, decide and be further along by now, nature invites patience, self-love, and trust. February is not about forcing clarity; it’s about nurturing what’s gently awakening within you.

For sensitive souls, February is for soft hope, deep listening, and tending to yourself with tenderness, knowing that your timing is perfect.

For years, winter made me feel like I was doing something wrong.

As a teacher, I was expected to keep going at full speed; early mornings, constant giving, holding space for everyone else, even when my body was begging me to slow down.

Each winter I felt more tired. More overwhelmed. More meh.

And instead of listening, I piled on pressure.
I told myself I should be more productive. That rest meant I was lazy. That my low energy meant I was failing. Like I was doing something wrong!

But the truth?
Nothing was wrong with me.

I’m sensitive.
I’m cyclical.
And my nervous system feels seasonal shifts deeply.

Winter wasn’t the problem; trying to live like it was summer was.

That realisation changed everything. When I stopped shaming myself and started honouring winter, my energy softened, my clarity returned, and I finally felt at peace with where I was.

That’s why I created Winter’s Embrace ❄️
A gentle 7-day wintering journey for sensitive souls who are tired of pushing through a season that’s asking for rest.

Inside, you’ll be supported to:
❄️ Release guilt around low energy
❄️ Work with your nervous system, not against it
❄️ Rest without shame
❄️ Reconnect with your intuition and inner light

This isn’t about doing more.
It’s about honouring where you are; so you can emerge into spring rested, rooted, and ready 🌱

If this speaks to your heart, I’d love to walk this winter with you 🩵 Winter’s Embrace link in the bio ✨

There’s nothing wrong with you, even if it feels that way every winter. ❄️💙

So many sensitive souls quietly tell themselves stories like:
“I’m unmotivated.”
“I’m falling behind.”
“I should be doing more.”

I know those thoughts well. I carried them for years, especially during winter, believing my low energy meant I was failing somehow.

But here’s the truth most of us were never taught…
🌙 Less light naturally lowers serotonin
❄️ More darkness increases melatonin
🧠 Your nervous system shifts into conservation mode

If you’re sensitive, you feel this more deeply and that doesn’t make you weak.

It makes you human.
Winter isn’t broken.
And neither are you.
Winter is a season of slowing down, not speeding up.

A time to rest, restore, and turn inwards, not to push, prove, or perform.
The struggle comes when we try to live like it’s summer… in winter.

That’s why I created Winter’s Embrace. A gentle 7-day wintering journey for sensitive souls who are tired of being so hard on themselves.
Inside, you’ll be lovingly guided to:
❄️ Release guilt around low energy
❄️ Rest in ways that truly restore your nervous system
❄️ Reconnect with your intuition and inner clarity
❄️ Honour your natural seasonal rhythm
This isn’t about forcing motivation.

It’s about meeting yourself with compassion so your energy can return naturally.

✨ Winter’s Embrace begins Monday 26th January

💙 Special winter price: £14

If this landed in your heart, I’d be honoured to walk this winter with you.

The truth beneath the winter myths ⬇️

Those thoughts aren’t personal flaws, they’re misunderstandings.

✨ “I should be more productive”
→ Winter is designed for conservation, not constant output.

✨ “Rest means I’m lazy”
→ Rest is your nervous system regulating and restoring.

✨ “Low energy means I’m doing something wrong”
→ Low energy in winter is a biological response, not a failure.

Here’s what’s really happening beneath the surface:

❄️ Less daylight = lower serotonin
Sunlight activates serotonin (your feel-good neurotransmitter). Shorter days can naturally affect mood, motivation and emotional resilience.

🌙 More darkness = more melatonin
Your body produces more melatonin in winter, making you feel sleepier, slower and more inward.

🧠 Your nervous system shifts into conservation mode
Cold and darkness signal the body to preserve energy which can look like fatigue, brain fog, or a desire to withdraw.

🌿 Sensitive nervous systems feel this more deeply
Highly sensitive people process seasonal shifts more intensely, so winter can feel especially heavy.

So no, you’re not lazy.
You’re responding exactly as a human nervous system evolved to respond.

The problem isn’t winter.
It’s trying to live like it’s summer.

That’s why I created Winter’s Embrace. A gentle 7-day wintering journey to help you work with your biology, not against it.

Inside, you’ll be supported to:
❄️ Release guilt around low energy
❄️ Rest in ways that truly restore
❄️ Reconnect with intuition and inner clarity
❄️ Nurture your inner light as your body prepares for renewal

This isn’t about pushing through winter.
It’s about honouring it, so you emerge in spring 🌱 rested, rooted, and ready.

🌑✨ Capricorn New Moon ✨🌑

New Moons invite us inwards. They mark the start of a new lunar cycle, a quiet, fertile moment for reflection, intention and soft beginnings.

This New Moon arrives at the very end of Capricorn season, just before we move into Aquarius season on Tuesday. A powerful pause point where we anchor what matters before the energy shifts forward.

For sensitive souls, Capricorn season calls us to:
♑️ Ground our energy
♑️ Anchor our intentions
♑️ Take small steps towards our goals

It’s not about pushing or proving; it’s about choosing what feels steady, supportive, and sustainable for you.

🌑 Take a moment to reflect:
✨ What is one intention I want to ground into under the Capricorn New Moon?

🌿 Grounding Affirmation:
I anchor my intentions gently and trust each small step to lead me where I am meant to go.

If you’d like a little extra guidance, comment a 🌑 below and I’ll pull a card for you from my Feminine Wisdom Oracle ✨
