What if the pressure to “start fresh” on January 1 isn’t motivating you because it was never designed for your body - or your prosperity - in the first place?
In this episode of Plenty, I’m dismantling the myth of the New Year and offering a radically more sustainable way to begin again - one that doesn’t grind your gears, burn out your nervous system, or sabotage your income.
January 1 is an arbitrary date created for economic standardization, not for human or ecological wellbeing. Yet so many ambitious, capable women push themselves to hit the ground running in the dead of winter - and then wonder why they’re exhausted by February. There’s nothing wrong with you. You’re responding intelligently to a system that’s out of sync with life itself.
In this conversation, I walk you through why aligning exclusively with the Gregorian calendar quietly increases burnout, cortisol, and brittle business decisions - and how working with your biological and seasonal rhythms creates clarity, momentum, and more money with less effort. We explore the difference between linear, transactional time and the kind of timeless presence where your best decisions, creativity, and magnetism actually live.
I also share a practical, body-based map for structuring your year around real rhythm - composting and clarity in winter, emergence in spring, visibility in summer, and harvest in fall - so your work is supported by nature instead of fighting it. This is the same approach my company used to eliminate 90% of our offers, double down on what actually worked, and create our biggest revenue years with fewer promotions and far less strain.
If you’ve ever felt behind at the start of a year, this episode will reset your relationship with time itself - and show you how a regulated nervous system becomes one of your most powerful financial assets.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
This is an invitation to stop chasing artificial beginnings and start living inside cyclical momentum - where your energy, creativity, and income compound naturally.
“A regulated nervous system makes better financial decisions. Less impulsive spending. Clearer pricing. More trust in timing.”–Kate Northrup
