Today's lighthearted episode is a very long ramble about how much I love the autumn season, just because I wanted to ramble about it. Towards the end, I share some fall bucket list ideas, as well as my personal list, and talk about my hopes for this time of year.

Sometimes, we don't know how anxious, overwhelmed, or stressed we are until we hit a breaking point, & then it feels like the end of the world. So how do we avoid this? In this episode, I share how my nerves were really messed up today, & how I intentionally tried to calm them. Hopefully some advice I shared can help you with your own self-regulation!

We get very personal in this episode while I go on a low-energy ramble about routines & productivity. I think it’s good to break out of routine every now and then, or re-evaluate your priorities, & decide what true productivity is to YOU personally. Take time for yourself, to recharge your social battery, motivation, or peace of mind. Practice self-compassion. Know when it’s time to push through excuses, & when it’s time to give yourself a break because you really are doing enough.
