Closing the Year Slowly - A Solstice Pause
Episode 14
Sunday, 21 December, 2025
In this final episode of The Slow Postpartum Podcast for 2025, I’m sharing a gentle end-of-year reflection and an update from me.It’s been a longer pause between episodes than I’d planned, and in this conversation, I speak honestly about why. The last few months have been deeply full — caring for mothers and babies back to back — and alongside that, it’s been a year that’s asked a lot emotionally and mentally too.As we move into the heart of winter here in the UK, I’ve felt a strong need to slow down and to truly live the values I so often speak about — rest, seasonal living, nervous system care, and honouring the body’s need to pause. This episode is an invitation to do the same, wherever you are in the world and whatever season you’re moving through.I also offer a short, simple solstice pause — something you can return to as the year closes — and share a little about my plans to take a break over January and February, before returning with Season Three of the podcast in the spring.Mostly, this episode is a thank you. To the listeners, to the families I’ve had the privilege of caring for, and to this community that continues to value slowness in a world that so often rushes.Wherever you are, and whatever season you’re in, I hope this episode meets you gently.In this episode:An honest update after a quieter period on the podcastReflections on busyness, burnout, and listening to the bodyHonouring winter in the Northern Hemisphere — and summer in the SouthernA short solstice pause you can take with youA gentle closing of the year and what’s ahead for the podcastPS: If, as this year closes, you find yourself thinking about the support you might need in 2026 — whether for your body, your postpartum journey, or your work with families — you’re very welcome to reach out.You can find me on my website here:👉 https://slowpostpartum.comOr connect with me on social media:👉 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/slowpostpartum
