Yin and yang wellness take center stage in this episode of the Seasonal Sisters Podcast as Janice Saunders continues the A–Z of Wellness series with the letter Y.
Many women spend years operating in constant “doing mode,” pouring energy into careers, caregiving, and responsibilities while neglecting the restorative practices that support long-term health. Janice explores how balancing yin energy (rest, reflection, intuition) with yang energy (action, achievement, and productivity) creates a more sustainable recipe for wellness.
Drawing from her own experiences with fear, rejection, personal growth, and healing through swimming, Janice shares how self-reflection can reveal what's missing from your wellness routine. She encourages listeners to experiment with healthy habits that nurture mental, physical, and social wellness, and to find the courage to move from yearning for change to saying yes to healthier living.
