I’ve been enjoying many autumn walks lately, and one thing I always notice is how trees let go of their leaves without hesitation. No clinging. No resistance. Just a graceful release. Every autumn, nature reminds us that letting go is not a loss—it’s an opening.

I don’t know about you, but I find October to be one of the most beautiful months of the year. The trees dazzle us with shades of brown and gold, their leaves both adorning the branches and carpeting the ground below. The air carries a refreshing crispness that invites cozy sweaters and slower walks through the streets of New York. And yes—it’s pumpkin season, filled with comforting flavors and festive traditions. 

I've been reading a lot of books lately—something that always nourishes my mind and my soul. Reading has always been one of my quiet rituals, a way to slip into another world while uncovering more of my own. Some stories fade after the final page, but others become mirrors of wisdom, staying with me long after I’ve put the book down.

As September slips away, I find myself wondering—where has the year gone? And maybe you are wondering this too.

The year seems to have moved in waves, carrying us through seasons of momentum and stillness, and suddenly we arrive at this moment, standing at the threshold of the last three months.

It’s a season that can stir both reflection and urgency: the projects unfinished, the dreams still in motion, the quiet pressure to “make it all happen” before the year’s close.

There are certain times of the year when it feels like the world is inviting us to take a moment to slow down and really pay attention.

The air shifts, the light softens, and if we pause long enough, we can almost hear nature speaking. The leaves begin their quiet change, evenings carry a gentle coolness, and the sky glows with golden and crimson hues.

These aren’t just seasonal changes—they’re gentle reminders for us to notice the beauty and magic in the simple things. And, one of the most powerful of these reminders is here now.

I don't know about you, but I still can't believe September is here.

As we make our way through this month, we’re still shaking sand from our shoes and savoring the sweet and slow summer days we shared with family and friends — yet, our busy schedules are calling us forward once again.

It’s that gentle transition between purpose and play, where we crave exciting momentum without losing the gentle softness we rediscovered.

There’s a sacred sweetness I always notice at this time of year — when the air softens, the energy all around starts to shift, and our souls begin to sense that one season is preparing to give way to another. 

 Maybe you’re feeling it too.

There’s a seasonal shift happening.
 
Maybe you’ve noticed it too—the way the sunlight doesn’t last quite as long, the stillness that settles into the evenings, and a breeze that feels softer, cooler, carrying the first trace of change.

Lately, I've really been feeling the energy of the season—the bright summer sun, the fullness of August. There’s something about this time of year that makes everything feel more alive and vibrant. 🌞

That’s why I gave myself a quiet moment the other day to use one of my favorite tarot decks—just to pull a card and check in, to see what messages would reveal themselves.

There’s a quiet ache I’ve witnessed in so many heart-led leaders, and I’ve felt it, too: the fear of visibility and being in the spotlight.

It's the ache of having something to say…but wondering if it's too much.
It's the knowing you were made for more… but fearing what will happen when you take up space.
It's the longing to lead… but feeling safer behind the scenes.

Have you ever made plans, set intentions, and dreamed with your whole heart… only for life to take a completely different turn?

 I know I have.

And here’s something I’ve learned through my own experiences—and through the many stories I hear when I speak to teams and organizations across the world:

 Not every goal blooms the way we imagined. And that's okay. 🩷

Have you ever had one of those quiet nights when everything slows down?

Your home is still.

No one needs you.

No calls, no texts — your phone’s silent.

Just a rare, uninterrupted pause to be present.

You didn’t come here to just pass through the seasons.

 You came to create a life so vibrant that it ripples through every room you enter.

To watch your quiet dreams break ground — strong, bright, undeniable.

 On August 1, we welcome Lughnasadh— the first harvest festival in the wheel of the year. It’s nature’s gentle nudge to pause, witness, and honor the first signs of what you’ve been planting. This ancient celebration reminds us that every small effort, every seed of intention, carries the promise of abundance when tended with love.

On July 24, we’re gifted the quiet, potent energy of the New Moon, arriving just a week before Lughnasadh (August 1) in the Northern Hemisphere — the first harvest festival on the Wheel of the Year, an ancient cycle that celebrates nature’s seasons and our own spiritual rhythms.

 The powerful overlap of these two events invites us to stand in the magic of both new beginnings and the promise of abundance on the horizon.

Summer is here, and with it comes nature's gentle whisper: slow down, beloved. 🌞

The longer days, the golden warmth, the softened rhythm of life — they invite us to exhale, soften, and truly breathe.

 This season is a loving reminder that it’s not only safe but wise to slow down — whether that means sinking into deep rest or leaning into joyful play. Both are sacred medicine for your spirit and powerful fuel for your dreams.

Can you believe it? We’re already halfway through 2025.

Whether you’ve been moving forward with steady momentum or navigating unexpected turns, this moment invites a sacred pause — a chance to reflect, realign, and reignite your zeal. ✨

There’s something beautiful and magical about this time of year.

As June draws to a close, there’s a natural pause — a quiet moment between chapters — that invites us inward.

The sun is high, summer is in full force, and everything feels alive — full of color, warmth, and possibility. But even in a season of full bloom, your soul may be asking: What am I still tied to that’s holding back my zeal — and what would it feel like to release it and trust what comes next?

On Friday, June 20th, the Northern Hemisphere crossed a golden threshold — the Summer Solstice, our longest day and shortest night. Even though the precise moment has passed, its energy still hums softly around us.

Have you ever been so mad at someone that the anger lasted more than a day? Truth to be told, this happened to me. Once, it lasted 20 years. And since today is Father’s Day, it feels like the right day for this story to be heard.

 Allow me to share more.

Have you ever felt like you’ve been doing all the inner work—showing up, staying open, trusting the process—yet things still feel a little… in between?

 Not stuck. Just not where you thought you’d be.
