Today’s episode is a replay from 2023—and it’s just as relevant now as it was then.

If months of gray skies leave you feeling “fine, but blah,” this episode is for you.

In this replay, I’m sharing my honest experience with what I call bad weather burnout—that drained, restless feeling that isn’t quite depression, but still weighs on you after long stretches of gloomy weather. I also share the simple mindset shift that helps me every year: finding or creating something pretty, even when the weather isn’t.

In this episode, we cover:

• The difference between seasonal depression and bad weather burnout
• Why seeing sunlight matters just as much as getting vitamin D
• Five practical coping skill categories you can build on good days to survive the gloomy ones
• Gentle, realistic ways to self-soothe, reframe, and regulate as a busy mom
• How creativity, beauty, and making something with your hands can shift your mood

If you’re craving more lightness, creativity, and emotional breathing room during long stretches of gray days, this episode will feel like a warm, validating reminder that you’re not alone—and that small shifts really do matter.
