Coffee Chat: Summer Highlights, Life Updates, and Autumn Plans
Grab your favorite beverage and join me for a cozy coffee chat. In today’s episode of Celebrate Cultivate, I’m sharing summer memories, giving some life updates, and peeking into what lies ahead for autumn. Get inspired to embrace the shifting seasons with intention.
Reflecting on Summer Faves
It’s hard to believe this summer is drawing to a close. It was fast, fun, and a bit chaotic at times.
A major highlight was splashing around in the pool with my kids. Their fearlessness reminded me of the joy in embracing the unexpected. My youngest, almost three, is obsessed with swimming! And he needs a lot of eyes on him. We all need help when starting something new—just enrolled him in swim lessons this fall!
Dining out turned surprisingly delightful. What used to be a hassle has turned into a treasured family activity! Watching my children navigate restaurants with growing confidence is a peek into a future of sharing memories over good food.
Escaping to Aspen to visit friends was the breath of fresh air I needed. The stunning scenery and a break from routine were perfect for recharging before the back-to-school hustle.
Invitation to reflect: What were your favorite moments this summer season? What do these reveal about where you are and where you’re heading?
Embracing Intuitive Pauses and Alignments
As an intuition coach, I’m continually learning from the ebbs and flows of life. This summer, my inner voice nudged me towards a “purposeful pause” from work. I didn’t know it, but this pause aligned perfectly with personal and family needs.
And it’s important to remember that pauses aren’t permanent. They’re a key ingredient for realignment and renewal in motherhood, creativity, and business.
Invitation to reflect: Where can you pause? What does alignment with your inner voice look like for you?
Celebrating Family and New Beginnings
An unexpected joy this summer was my husband’s mom and stepdad moving to Austin. We’re so happy to see our children bonding with their grandparents—and we’re grateful for the extra breathing room! It’s a new beginning that I know will enrich our daily lives significantly.
Invitation to explore: What new beginnings have unfolded for you recently? How are you navigating these changes as the autumn season approaches?
Ending Summer and Transitioning into Autumn
Yes, Starbucks is already slinging Pumpkin Spice Lattes, but before you get swept up in #fallvibes, take a moment to appreciate the season that’s ending. Then welcome the new season with intention.
In my signature coaching program A Year of Calm, we spend time together in this transition, gathering for a group call to close one chapter before rushing into the next.
Invitation to explore: How do you want to wrap up the summer season? What rituals or practices could make welcoming autumn more meaningful for you?
Enjoying the Excitement of What Lies Ahead
I’m excited about A LOT coming up! I just finished supporting another round of IVFT (Inner Voice Facilitator Training, hosted by Bella Lively). The group this round was a total delight to work with and I’m excited to see what doors open as they move forward beyond the training.
Now I’m preparing to reopen the doors to A Year of Calm! It’s always such an exciting time when I welcome new folks in because doors to join are only open twice a year with limited spaces available. (Pssst! If you’re on the waitlist, check your email. VIP invitations went out this morning.)
Fall is a season brimming with goodness. From a collaboration with Syracuse University to a work retreat in London, and a romantic celebration of our tenth wedding anniversary in Paris—I cannot wait to see what magic it all brings!
Invitation to explore: What projects are you completing? What are you starting? What exciting plans are on the calendar in the months ahead? What magic are you manifesting?
Deepen Your Connection to Intuition
If this season finds you craving connection and support, consider joining A Year of Calm. It’s not just about finding peace—it’s about creating a life that’s aligned with your truest self.
