The Fertile Void (and a Boxing Day gift)

Have you ever heard the joke that you can be as naughty are you want the week between Christmas and New Years? The punchline is that Santa doesn't ask you if you've been good since last Christmas, he asks if you've been good this year. So the week in between is, like, a freebie. A week to be a little cheeky, a little sloth-y, a little less routined or structured.
It's this space that I've become fascinated with over the last few years. To me, this liminal space is so magical. It's this pregnant pause where we are not what we were, but we're also not yet who we're becoming. This concept is illustrated perfectly this week, like, we're not really 2025 any more, but we're not yet 2026.
Last season, I did an episode of the podcast where I really dove into this idea. I called it the Fertile Void, because that's how it resonances for me. It's this space of incubating our future selves. In this place where we're invited to step into a sacred pause and honor every step we've taken in our personal evolution story to get right here; to this sacred threshold.
It's the in-between, the liminal, the domain of the Crone, the Fertile Void.
Sometimes we can feel a little strange in weeks like this one, sometimes there is grief or uncertainty. We can feel like, "shouldn't I be doing something right now?" But, really, the best thing for us to is allow the space to reflect, to integrate, and to imagine or dream into our next version of ourselves.
A Boxing Day gift for the Sacred Pause

As a proper anglophile, I love Boxing Day. So here is a little Boxing Day gift from me to you to help with imagining and dreaming the versions of ourselves we're going to step into this year.
My New Beginning Course is seven manifestations, rituals, intentions for connecting with the higher-future-version of ourselves.
It's normally $44, but for the next week it's $11 with code FERTILEVOID.
There are some things percolating and incubating in my world that I'm so excited to birth over this next year. And, as always, I'm grateful for this space with each of you.
