In this episode, we’re stepping into a new season together, shifting from summer stories to the fresh beginnings of September. After a full and beautiful adventure up north with my family, I’m back on the podcast reflecting on that unique “new year” energy that arrives with back-to-school, changing routines, and the first hints of autumn.

This episode is all about the shifts, both inside and outside of our homes, that this time of year naturally invites. It’s about recognizing the overwhelm that can come with new schedules, the temptation to want to “fix everything at once,” and the gentle reminder that creating a happier, healthier home starts with clarity — not more chaos.

This episode is for you if you’ve ever:

• Felt the pull to reset your routines but didn’t know where to start

• Been overwhelmed by the clutter, energy, or endless to-do list in your home

• Wanted your outer home to reflect the peace you’re craving inside

• Longed for a roadmap to finally feel unstuck in your home
  

We’ll explore:

• Why September often feels like a second New Year

• How shifting seasons invite us to reset both inner and outer homes

• The five most common challenges that hold us back in our homes

• How the Holistic Home Quiz can help you discover your biggest block

• What to expect in the upcoming mini-series on the Holistic Home Quiz
  

Whether you’re standing in the middle of back-to-school chaos, staring at a cluttered counter, or simply craving a sense of fresh energy for this next season, this conversation is here to remind you that you’re not alone — and that you already have what it takes to begin again.
