Show Notes
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 (whoeverās 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 seasons. It can feel discouraging when no matter what it never reaches what it was like as a kid. But that doesn't mean we can't do things now to maximize every season that comes in a way that feels like you did as a kid and also with the flow of time meaning having the courage to try new things as well.
p.s. I was feeling a little under the weather while recording this one so it's why it's a bit slower and softer. I hope you enjoy it. <3

Autumn is almost always at the top of the list when I ask people where I live what their favourite season is. And honestly, I understand why. Ontario in the fall is breathtaking.
Grief is one of those things that changes shape all the time.
Autumn isnāt asking us to stop, itās asking us to listen. Turn inward, and reflect.
As the days get shorter and the shadows outside become a little more visible, autumn invites us to look inward, too. Thereās 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, weāre 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 isnāt where we ultimately want to be. Because when weāre constantly living in the past or reaching toward the future, we miss the only place where we can actually create change: the present moment. Think of this as your autumn reminder to slow down, meet yourself where you are, and make a little more peace with the person youāre becoming. š©µ
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.
