Episode 115: Winter Magic Sessions | Creating Breathing Room For December Overwhelm
A Seasonal Writing Session for December
By mid-December, the season can start to feel heavier. Even when we begin with good intentions, this is when schedules fill up, expectations stack, and everything can start to feel more demanding.
This episode is a chance to give yourself a pause.
Winter Magic Sessions are seasonal writing sessions inside the Better Days Start Today podcast. They’re designed to help you slow down, reflect, and reconnect with yourself during the winter season.
In this session, we focus on creating breathing room. Not by fixing everything or adding more, but by slowing down long enough to notice where pressure can be released and where things can be simplified.
This is a writing session you can return to anytime December feels full.
WHAT WE’LL COVER:
✔ Why December often feels heavier as the season progresses
✔ How slowing down can create clarity and relief
✔ An oracle reflection centered on faith and inner strength
✔ Guided journaling prompts to help you simplify without guilt
✔ Small ways to create breathing room in your week
You’re invited to write gently and honestly, without pressure or expectation.
This session includes a reflection using the Animal Spirit Oracle by Lea Andronic.
The card that came forward for this session is Tiger.
The Tiger represents faith and inner strength. Tiger energy reminds us to listen to our instincts, stop overriding our inner guidance, and move through this season with steadiness.
This reflection invites us to trust that slowing down is choosing what supports us most.

Writing Prompts:
You’ll be guided through three questions, with space and music to write:
✨ Where does this season feel heavy for me right now?
✨ What can I simplify without guilt?
✨ What would help me breathe a little easier this week?
You can write words, sentences, lists, or simply sit and reflect.
