EPI 89 - The Season You’re In: How to Stay Rooted When Life Gets Busy

Hi friend — welcome back to The Habit Within! I’m Camille Kinzler, and today’s episode is a little mini grounding session for the season we’re in. Because if your life looks anything like mine right now… it’s full. Beautiful, meaningful, chaotic, and full.

And during these kinds of seasons, it’s so easy to think you should be doing more — starting a new workout plan, reinventing your routines, signing up for a program, overhauling your habits. But the truth is: this is not the season for massive shifts.

This is the season for presence.
 For grounding.
 For simplicity.

So today, I’m walking you through five small things I’m personally committing to over the next three weeks — things that don’t require extra time, big decisions, or rearranging your life… just tiny anchors that keep you rooted when life gets busy.

In this episode, I share:

  • Why this is not the moment to should all over yourself (you’ll feel that one!)
  • How remembering that every yes is a choice can lift guilt and mental clutter
  • What presence actually looks like in a full season — especially when your brain wants to time-travel
  • A sweet glimpse into my kids’ Winter Fair (pocket ladies and handmade treasures included)
  • Why even 5 minutes of movement can shift your nervous system and blood sugar
  • How the small things — supplements, peptides, water, sunlight — are always the first to disappear when we need them most
  • Why scheduling time for yourself in January is the most loving thing you can do for December
  • A reminder that your five grounding practices don’t have to match mine — they just need to support your aliveness

This episode is meant to help you breathe again.
 To remind you that it’s okay to be in this season — not the one you think you “should” be in.

Big Takeaways

  • You chose what’s on your plate — which means you can release the guilt around what you can’t get to right now.
  • Presence allows you to actually experience the life you’re living instead of rushing through it.
  • Small anchors create big stability in busy seasons.
  • This time of year is meant to be beautiful — even when it’s messy.

I’d love to hear from you
