Happy first day of fall, friends. š
I spent this past month on my hands and knees, furiously pulling weeds that had taken over my yard during summerās beautiful chaos. As I worked, I couldnāt help but think about how perfectly this captures something Iāve been learning about life after divorceāeven years later.
When I first moved into this house five years ago, I was running on pure divorce endorphin high. You may know that rush: the one that has you cleaning, saging, and manifesting everything in sight. My daughter and I strung twinkle lights in every tree, creating magic everywhere we looked. Everything sparkled with possibility.
Fast forward to today: paint has chipped, patios need power washing, and half those magical lights have burned out. I found myself asking those trickier questions that come with time: āShouldnāt I have this all figured out by now? Can I still ask for help?ā
Hereās what Iāve discovered through my own journey and working with incredible women rebuilding their lives: Glow-ups arenāt one-time makeovers. Theyāre everyday practice. Like gardens, we need seasonal tending.
Those burned-out lights in my backyard? They still represent the magic my daughter and I created together. They just need autumn attention. Just like we do.
As we enter this season of natural transition and preparation, Iām curious: What needs harvesting in your life right now? What boundaries need reinforcing before winter? What dreams are ready to be pruned so they can grow stronger?
Fall reminds us that maintenance isnāt failureāitās wisdom. The courage to tend our gardens, ask for help, and do another round of necessary work isnāt weakness. Itās being fully, beautifully human.
Needing seasonal recalibration doesnāt mean youāre broken. It means youāre alive, youāre growing, and youāre committed to becoming who youāre meant to be.
Whatās calling for your attention as we shift into this new season?
Iād love to hear what youāre harvesting or ready to release. š¦
