Rest, Retreat, Renewal—Join Our November Book Club on Wintering

The November 2025 Women & Finance Knowledge Circle will be held on Thursday, November 13th at 12 pm ET.

As the year winds down, we’re exploring a book that meets us right where many of us are—balancing careers, clients, families, and our own seasons of change. In Wintering, Katherine May reframes difficult periods as natural, cyclical “winters” that invite rest, reflection, and intentional renewal. It’s a timely, compassionate read for advisors who carry so much for others—and could use a practical, human framework for caring for themselves, too.

What we’ll discuss (light prep, rich conversation) - if you decide to join, please be prepared to have your video on and are ready to engage in active conversation:

• How “wintering” shows up in our work and lives—and how to normalize it for ourselves and our teams
• Personal rituals and boundaries that sustain us through busy seasons (and how to make them stick)
• The advisor’s role: holding space for clients in their winters without burning out
• Practical resets to finish 2025 well and enter 2026 with clarity

Format:

• Group discussion
