With the clocks changing and Samhain now behind us, the natural world is making its descent into the darkness of winter. The transition of the seasons is palpable here in the Dordogne, and as the wheel of the year turns toward the darker weeks leading to the Winter Solstice, nature invites us to reflect on the transitions unfolding within and around us.
On a personal level, it feels as though almost everyone I know is moving through at least one big shift right now. Many of us are being called to release old habits, ways of being, or relationships that no longer feel congruent with who we are becoming.
For me, this autumn has been quite the journey. I’ve let go of the work that defined my life for the past six years – and that was my main source of income – because it no longer felt aligned with my soul’s whispers. Soon after, I was invited to embrace an alcohol-free period until the Winter Solstice as a kind of pattern interrupt. Then, over the last two weeks, a lingering virus forced me to slow right down and stabilise in a deeper level of peace – one rooted in listening to my healer (body) rather than my pusher (head).
It’s been a lot, but I am very used to transition and I know what support I need to navigate them so I can honestly say I’ve never felt more peaceful or more aligned with the truth of who I am.
What about you? What transition are you moving through – or being called to – this autumn and winter? I’d love to hear from you. 🌙
And, of course, the world itself is in a state of profound transition. You only need to glance at the news to see people gathering to stand against injustice, inhumanity, and the destruction of our planet – all driven by the greed of immature, power-hungry egos. Yet amidst it all, more and more of us are reclaiming our power and saying no to the outdated, patriarchal systems that no longer serve.
If you want to be part of this wave of change, you’ll be interested in what’s evolving at HQ - Holistic Intelligence.
To support you with whatever change you are going through right now, the theme of everything I offer for the next 4 weeks will be 'Navigating Transition'.
Follow me on social to receive all daily posts which will offer guidance, reflections, journalling prompts and resources. BTW if you enjoyed last month's daily post of POCKETS OF PEACE, you can now access them all here (including the resources I shared with them).
This month I have also launched my new Substack which will include writing and posts on this topic. Come along and follow me there to connect with other women going through life's transitions.

🌕 Winter Solstice Women’s Balance Workshop
🗓 Sunday 21 December | ⏰ 5–8pm CET | 4–7pm GMT | 12–3pm ET | 9am–12pm PT
💻 Online Mini-Retreat
The Winter Solstice marks a sacred turning point – the longest night of the year, and the quiet promise of returning light.
Join me and an intimate circle of only 10 women for this nourishing 3-hour mini-retreat to pause, reflect, and reconnect. Through gentle meditation, seasonal ritual, reflective coaching, and meaningful connection with like-minded women, you’ll create space to restore your inner balance and honour the wisdom of this time.
Gift yourself a moment of calm amidst the chaos – your invitation to come home to yourself.
And, of course, if you are in a time of change - or you know you need to make one but don't know how - I'd love to meet with you for a free exploratory chat to see if Transition Coaching might support you. As well as private 1-1 sessions to suit most budgets I also offer a completely free coaching session for those on low income or in difficult financial circumstances. Full details are here.
However you choose to join me this month - through the free coaching call, on Substack or social media or with a free exploratory chat - may it be a reminder that change does not need to be difficult. With the right practices and support, it is possible to navigate it with grace, courage and even a little joy!
In loving service,
Jenny
