Happy Spring! In this short solo episode, Annemarie reflects on the beauty of the season and invites you to embrace a softer, slower way of living as the days grow longer and nature comes alive. Inspired by the gentle pace of early spring, she encourages you to consider what you might subtract rather than add—what you can release in order to create space for more peace, presence, and joy.

Whether it’s taking a mindful walk outside, starting that book you’ve been meaning to read, or simply sitting still in the sunshine, this episode is a gentle reminder to listen to your inner wisdom and let the season guide you toward simplicity and intention.
