After taking a break from the pod for the last month of 2021, Jessica is back with the first episode of 2022, just in time to attempt to spare us all the external/internal expectations around making resolutions for the new year.

What if we broke away from that practice entirely, or at least, what it's meant before now.

Could we resolve to do less? Could we rest more? To be still and listen for what our bodies want to do next? Can we ask ourselves that question and then have the patience to wait for the answer. And then to listen to that answer, by following the guidance it offers us?

We're constantly changing. You've heard it before, and it's probably corny by now, but it is true: change is the only constant. So how can we possibly expect ourselves to feel the same way tomorrow as we do today when everything inside us out in the outside world is constantly in flux?

Jessica gets curious about this and the necessity of quiet practices during the darkest season, so we may metabolize what we have digested and for gestating what is to come. And for the sustainability of our inner and outer world.

Jessica also shares that her foray into podcasting, book writing, and social media has been a humbling experience and the dangers of pushing ourselves to be resolute when it is human to waver. She reminds us (and herself) that we need not shame ourselves for changing our pace or minds.
