🎙️ Pastors Thriving — Episode:

“Why You Keep Burning Out Every Winter (And What to Do Instead)” with Ruben Gomez

Episode Summary: In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Ruben Gomez, founder of The Seasonal Movement and creator of the Neuro-Seasonal Harmony Method.

Ruben spent years doing everything right — discipline, hustle, grind — and still found himself crashing every winter. Sound familiar? That cycle of burnout, especially during the darker, colder seasons, isn’t just emotional or spiritual… it’s biological.

Now, Ruben helps high-achieving men align their energy and output with the natural rhythms of the year so they can maximize productivity, protect their mental health, and lead with consistency.

If you're a pastor or leader who feels like you're running out of gas every few months — this episode will reframe your entire approach to time, energy, and leadership.
