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.   Episode Timestamps; 00:00 Welcome to Seasonal Sisters 01:39 Series and Yin Yang Theme 03:40 Why Balance Matters 06:17 Kitchen Table Community 08:19 A Story About Missing Ingredient 09:58 Swimming Reflection Breakthrough 11:41 Fear Rejection and Silence 17:31 Rebuilding With Yin Practices 21:01 Small Steps and Saying Yes 22:06 Tools Cards and Next Actions 23:11 Closing Encouragement and Outro   What You'll Learn in This Episode The difference between yin energy and yang energy Why many women spend too much time operating in constant action mode How fear and rejection can impact personal growth and wellness Why swimming, mindful movement, and reflection can support healing Simple ways to incorporate more restorative practices into your routine How social wellness contributes to overall health Why starting small creates sustainable healthy habits Practical ways to balance mental, physical, and social wellness   Resources & Mentions Janice Saunders’ Everyday Wellness Free Guide   Call to Action What healthy habit have you been yearning to start?
