Manage episode 502357688 series 3678738
In this episode of A Thought I Kept, host Claire Fitzsimmons interviews Lindsay Kaldor about the impactful teachings from a yoga class fifteen years ago that taught her the importance of seasonality and rest.
Lindsay shares her journey from living a nonstop 'summer existence' in her twenties, to embracing the cyclical nature of life inspired by the wisdom that 'flowers don't bloom all year round.'
They discuss the pressures of constant productivity, the significance of winter as a period of inward growth and rest, and how Lindsay's transition into motherhood and the pandemic has deepened her connection with natural rhythms.
Lindsay also talks about creating home spaces that support well-being and how small, intentional changes can make a significant impact.
This episode explores the delicate balance between outward engagement and inward reflection in fostering a sustainable and nourishing lifestyle.
