If the holidays have intensified your stress, family triggers, emotional labor, or burnout — this guided Winter Solstice release ritual will help you let go of what no longer serves you, return to your center, and recalibrate your nervous system as the light begins to return.

The Winter Solstice (the shortest day of the year) is a sacred seasonal threshold — a powerful time to turn inward, release old patterns, and create space for the next season of your life. In this ritual, you’ll use a candle flame, journaling prompts, and a symbolic burn practice to surrender what’s been weighing you down and seal a new “normal”: calm, receptive, supported, creative, and sovereign.

What you’ll need:

✔ A candle + matches/lighter

✔ A journal or paper + pen

✔ (Optional) A metal mixing bowl (for safe burning)

If you want ongoing support to actually live this work (not just consume it), join Rooted — a women-only membership designed to help you rewrite your nervous system around sovereignty, satisfaction, and receiving.

In this episode, Alanna Kaivalya, Ph.D., author of The Way of the Satisfied Woman, redefines two of the most misunderstood dynamics in modern relationships: cherishing and respect.

Discover how the feminine is meant to be cherished — her emotions and intuition honored as sacred guidance — and how the masculine is meant to be respected — his reason and direction valued in service to love.

You’ll also learn why boundaries are for you to hold (not to control others), and how the “mask of the masculine” keeps women exhausted, overfunctioning, and disconnected from their feminine power.

🌹 Key themes:
• Redefining feminine and masculine energy
• Emotional intelligence vs. logical reasoning
• Boundaries and the “sacred no”
• Healing burnout and self-abandonment
• Cherishing, respect, and polarity in modern relationships
