Sensitive bodies feel the Winter Solstice more intensely than almost any other cosmic shift — but most people override it without even realizing it.

In this episode, we explore what happens inside highly attuned, intuitive nervous systems during the longest night of the year — and why your body reacts so strongly to this turning point in the light cycle.

✨ What ancient cultures understood about darkness that modern life ignores
✨ The real science behind seasonal shifts — and where science still falls short
✨ The four physiological changes your sensitive system goes through every December
✨ A simple but powerful Sensitive Body Solstice Reset to align with the return of the light

Your body is attuned.
This episode will show you how to work with the dark instead of pushing past it.

In this Episode:

00:00 Understanding the Winter Solstice and Sensitivity

In this episode of the Gutsy Chick Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Robert Kane to talk about one of the most misunderstood tools in women’s health: thermography. Together, we explore how this technology works, its origins, and how it works with other breast screening methods like mammography and ultrasound.

We also talk about the importance of working with a qualified thermography provider, how to interpret your results, and why understanding your own body’s baseline is key to meaningful prevention. Throughout our conversation, Dr. Kane emphasizes a proactive approach to breast health, one rooted in curiosity, awareness, and empowerment rather than fear.
