Glowfully Season Finale: A December Pause & What’s Coming in 2026

A calm end to Season 1, a needed winter reset, and everything you can expect when Glowfully returns with a deeper, herbalism-led direction in the new year.

I wanted to give you a proper update about the podcast and everything happening behind the scenes at Aléora.

Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been really unwell, cold/flu symptoms, my voice not cooperating, and a level of fatigue that makes recording feel impossible. After trying to push through and realising the quality wasn’t where I want it to be, I’ve made the decision to take the rest of December off from publishing new episodes.

Rather than forcing content when I’m not well, I’m choosing to pause, reset, and come back stronger.

Why I’m Taking a Break

Recording Glowfully takes energy, clarity, and a calm voice, none of which I’ve had while being ill. I want the podcast to feel high quality, supportive, and grounded for you, and right now I need the space to recover properly.

Taking December off also allows me to:

Fully rest my voice

Adjust my audio setup and improve my recording environment

Rebuild my energy without pressure

Plan Season 2 with intention

What You Can Expect in Season 2

Season 2 is going to be the strongest, most aligned version of Glowfully so far.

I’m leaning deeper into the work I’m trained in:

Herbalism

Holistic wellness practices

Women’s health

Nervous system care

Energy regulation for women

Seasonal living & root causes of imbalance

Glowfully will feel even more grounded, informative, and educational, not just supportive but deeply practical. Think of it as a blend of:

Women’s holistic health

Body literacy

Herbal support

Lifestyle shifts

Emotional wellness

Mind–body–energy balance

My goal is for every episode to teach you something you can apply immediately.

Where to Find Content in the Meantime

Although the podcast is resting for December, nothing is stopping.Everything I WOULD be discussing on the podcast will still be published as:

Weekly blog posts on www.byaleora.com

Free weekly posts on byaleora.substack.com

Daily updates across social media

So you’re not missing anything, the content has simply moved platforms for a few weeks while I get better.

You’ll still receive the full weekly Glowfully themes, the full breakdowns, the wellness lessons, and the holistic guidance. The only difference is the format.

Taking Care of Yourself This Winter

Winter is naturally a slower season, and your body needs more care, more warmth, more grounding foods, more hydration, more rest. If you’ve been feeling tired, flat, overwhelmed, or overstimulated, it’s not a sign something is wrong. It’s the season.

Some small practices that help:

Warm, cooked meals

Herbal teas (chamomile, ginger, tulsi, lemon balm)

Extra sleep

Less screen time

Slow mornings

Grounding routines

More mindful breathing

Saying no when needed

December is a time to repair, not perform.
