In this episode, I explore transitions as we move into the fall season. This time of year offers a natural opportunity to reflect on the changes in our lives, just as the trees shed their leaves to prepare for new growth. I explore how we can embrace these transitions—both externally and internally—and use them as moments for personal growth, clearing away what no longer serves us.

I also discuss the importance of communication, particularly self-communication. Learning to speak kindly to ourselves is critical in fostering better relationships with others. I introduce a powerful journaling practice called “Letters from Love,” or Two-Way Prayer, that has helped me reframe how I speak to myself and approach life’s challenges with more compassion and grace. This simple tool has transformed my inner dialogue, and I encourage you to try it to navigate your transitions.

Join me as I share insights on how to harvest kindness within and prepare for the colder months ahead by stocking up on self-compassion and gentleness.
