Spring has started! And we’re in a new Lunar Year. Join me on a small side quest about lunisolar calendars and learn a bit more about the Yang Fire Horse! I also talk a lot about Spring’s organ, the Liver, and it’s important role of keeping Qi flowing smoothly in the body, as well as what can happen when Qi isn’t flowing smoothly: Liver Qi Stagnation. I also talk about how this pattern is the “check engine” light of the body, and daily practices to help keep Qi moving.

In this podcast, I talk about the current and upcoming seasonal nodes (including the transition to Spring on February 4) and a few recent overlaps of traditional knowledge and Western science’s research. I also give you a permission slip to make things easier on yourself, offer a monthly challenge, and share one of my favorite sayings about prioritizing health goals. I also have a few updates on new online offerings and upcoming clinic price changes, as well as offer a few resources and organizations you can support in Minneapolis.

In this podcast, I talk about the Winter Solstice seasonal node, share a fun “Best of Self-Care Supplies from 2025” (the best things I found for patients and myself this year), and some reflections on 2025, looking forward to 2026 - with suggestions on some guided reflections, what I am thinking about from 2025 and for 2026.

In this episode, I talk about why I am launching a private podcast, why I talk about seasonal information so often, Winter tips (especially for supporting your Lung), and more. Plus, a sneak peek of an upcoming project I’m releasing in January!
