Hello October: The Seasonal Lessons of Autumn 🍂

Autumn isn’t asking us to stop, it’s asking us to listen. Turn inward, and reflect. In this episode, I’m sharing two of the biggest lessons autumn can teach us about living with more intention, softness, and sustainable growth. First, we’ll explore the balance between doing and being . Just like some trees have already turned vibrant and are ready to let go, while others still have a little more growing to do, not every goal in our lives needs to be at the same stage. We’ll talk about celebrating what has reached maturity, releasing what is complete, and continuing to tend to the things that…

If you're feeling like you're not enough right now, this is for you.
As the days get shorter and the shadows outside become a little more visible, autumn invites us to look inward, too. There’s something about this season that naturally brings our own shadows to the surface: the parts of ourselves we might avoid, the mistakes we still carry, and the feeling that we should be further along than we are. In this episode, we’re talking about the feeling of not being enough , learning to forgive ourselves for the things we wish we had done differently, and accepting ourselves for where we are right now, even when it isn’t where we ultimately want to be. Because…

Harvest Season 🍂 Q4 planning, the autumn arc & preparing for the holidays
Q4 is right around the corner. And in the corporate and business world, this tends to be one of the busiest times of the year. End-of-year budgets, holiday sales and marketing campaigns, hitting annual targets, wrapping up projects, planning for the new year... there’s a lot happening. But here’s the thing: we have a say in how we live, too. That busy, “finish everything before the year ends” energy isn’t necessarily nature’s energy. It’s business energy. And if we’re not careful, we can start carrying that energy into our own lives, even when the season around us is asking us to do…

How to Feel Like a Kid Again This Autumn Season 🍂
I've always been a very nostalgic person. I love decorating for the fall. Planning the traditions that I would do while the leaves start turning into beautiful golden colours. Making fall candles candy apples are an annual Thanksgiving pumpkin toss (whoever’s rolls the furthest, wins!). I'd also love to watch movies that would get me in the mood for the season all the 90s and early 2000s Disney Halloween movies, and I even have a fall playlist that I put on the second. It turns October 1st. It seems I'm not the only one that's constantly craving to feel like a kid again and each of those…

The Friendship Analogy I Wish I Knew in My Early 20s
Friendships in your twenties can feel complicated. People grow, paths change, and it can be hard to know which connections to nurture, redefine, or release. In this episode, I share the friendship analogy that helped me stop expecting every friendship to hold the same depth: the onion layers. We talk about the value of curiosity, giving people room to change, investing in your core community, and becoming your own best friend along the way. Your friendships do not all need to look the same to be meaningful. 🩵 p.s. thanks for being patient with this episode! I couldn’t get it up yesterday…

Sipping the Last Drop of Summer | Sensommer Lessons
Sensommer is the Scandinavian word for late summer. That golden, lingering stretch before fall arrives. This episode is an invitation to slow down, stay present, and celebrate the season instead of rushing past it.

Stay a little longer in the sun. 🍑 ======================== In this episode: 0:00 introduction 2:18 seasonal living recap 4:32 summertime wins 6:08 the garden metaphor 8:35 lesson 1) why celebrating yourself feels…

Let Me De-Influence You: Why I Stopped Trusting Wellness Gurus
Health is one of the most profitable industries in the world, and that comes with a cost. Most people are aware of the villainization of western medicine and its ties to Big Pharma. But smart entrepreneurs noticed that shift before the rest of us did, and eastern medicine is now facing the same disproportionate focus on profit over people. At the end of the day, no guru, doctor, or wellness specialist knows you better than you know yourself. Now more than ever, we need to become better advocates for our own autonomy when it comes to our health. Disclaimer: this isn't anti-doctor or…

5 Things I Do After Work That Don’t Involve My Phone (Summer Edition)
Maybe you don't hate your job. Your day is just missing your values. For the longest time I thought I couldn't get excited about my days because I didn't enjoy my work enough. What I actually realized was I wasn't building anything into my week that was connected to my top values. So in this episode, I'm sharing the top 5 things I do after a work day that don't involve my phone (or a TV). Fair warning… please don't copy my routines! The point of a routine is regulation, familiarity, and listening to your body. What's perfect for me might look completely different for you. Use this as a…

How to *Finally* Stop Caring What Other People Think of You
You are not one person. You are your parents' version, your best friend's version, your coworker's version, and none of them fully capture who you are. So why are you spending your entire twenties trying to control something that was never actually controllable? In this episode, I am getting into why we take things so personally, from evolutionary wiring to childhood conditioning to the stories different cultures teach us about our own worth. We are talking about the difference between defending your identity and defending your ego, the blue hair theory, and the LET THEM mindset that changed…

What I’d Beg Every Person in Their 20s to Know About Social Media
For my 100th episode I think it's time that I share the ultimate detox message for our generation. Although it might be painful to admit… maybe our parents were right? Maybe it is our phones. Specifically, social media. If you’ve been listening for a while, you know my complicated relationship with social media. I’ve always felt like a bit of a hypocrite: promoting the podcast and making a living as a social media manager on the very apps that drains me. While there are amazing creators out there, these apps were ultimately built using psychological manipulation. They are no longer just…

I meditated everyday for 1500 days: my 10 biggest lessons
For the last five years, I’ve meditated almost every single day. Although highly requested... I was so intimidated to make this video. It is incredibly hard to put five years of deep, soul-shifting lessons into words without sounding cliché. But so many of you have been asking about my practice, so I wanted to finally sit down and try to extract my biggest lessons. Grab a cup of tea, get comfy, and let’s chat. This is a longer one!!

The Summer I Started Aligning with the Sun and Trees | Seasonal Living Series
There was a specific summer where I stopped fighting the season and started actually listening to it. And honestly, everything shifted after that. 🌞 In this episode, I am getting into what it really means to live seasonally, and specifically what summer is asking of you right now. We are talking about Q2 reflections, why summer is actually one of the best times to pivot instead of push harder, how social media can quietly pull you away from your own values if you are not paying attention, and the gardening analogy that completely changed how I think about goals. This episode is part of the…

What I'd Beg Every Woman in Her 20s to Know About Morning Routines
Morning routines are still one of the most talked about topics on the internet. And somehow, so many of us are still waking up feeling behind before the day has even started. In this episode, I am sharing everything I wish someone had told myself earlier about building a routine that's *actually* tailored to yourself. We are getting into why copying what you see on social media is quietly working against you, how your routines can start regulating your nervous system instead of adding to your stress, the two morning rituals I keep returning to no matter what season I am in, and why…

The Art of Unlearning: How to Rewire Your Beliefs and Unlock Your Inner Power
Unlearning is the work nobody warns you about. You can read every self-help book, do all the right things, and still feel stuck, because sometimes the problem is not what you have not yet learned. It is what you need to let go of first. In this episode, I am walking you through the art of unlearning, what it actually means, why it is one of the most powerful things you can do for your personal growth, and the real practical steps I have used to start rewiring the limiting beliefs that were quietly running my life. We are getting into the role of neuroplasticity, how tools like meditation,…

5 Ways to Be Soft *AND* Ambitious Without Burning Out

In this episode, I am breaking down 5 real ways to stop treating hustle and rest like they are at war with each other. We are going into why living through the extremes might actually be part of your process, how your sleep and circadian rhythm are quietly deciding how much energy you even have to give, why the seasons can do some of the heavy lifting for you if you let them, and why…

Hi everyone!! This week we got a bit more... controversial. This week I’m talking about 5 things I would never buy in my twenties to support healthier cashflow, and attract more abundance. Spending/receiving money is very spiritual to me. As a result, I try to spend it carefully, and use it to support my morals and values.

2 Sobering Truths About Your Soul's Purpose (It Will Finally Let You Breathe)
There's a particular kind of pressure that follows you into your 20s, quiet, heavy, and relentless. It whispers that you should already know what you're here for. That everyone else has figured it out. That time is running out. Most of us spend what should be the most electric years of our lives paralyzed by one question: What is my purpose? Not curious. Not excited. Paralyzed. I've spent years dedicated to understanding the systems, beliefs, and patterns that keep us stuck, exploring spiritual practices, sitting with teachers like Eckhart Tolle in A New Earth and Michael Singer in The…

I graduated and everything fell apart. Here's what I learned 5 years later.
If you clicked on this, you already know why. 🩵 Five years ago, I graduated with a degree in Forensic Science and knew almost immediately that it wasn't the path for me. So I moved back home, and spent the next 2-3 years rediscovering myself. My passions. What actually made me feel alive. It was messy. It was uncomfortable. And nobody really talks about that part too much. The Twenties Detox started as a simple blog post during that season, and slowly became something so much more.
