The shit we need to talk about this week: Reclaiming the end of summer from capitalism.
In this episode, I share a deeply personal reflection on the emotional complexity of August and the transition out of summer, and explore what it means to slow down, loosen the grip of society’s “end of summer” and “back to school” messaging, and meet this transitional time with compassion.
My invitation to you: reflect, reframe, and move more intentionally through the end of August and September with emotional support and grounded practices.
Episode Highlights:
- A raw, honest look at why August often feels heavy, rushed, and emotionally charged
- Insight into how capitalism drives the pressure to shift out of rest and into productivity
- Practical tools from yoga philosophy (aparigraha + brahmacharya) for slowing down and managing energy
- A compassionate framework for holding both grief and anticipation during times of change
- Thoughtful reminders and accessible practices to carry the sweetness of summer into fall

61. Navigating Fall Exhaustion: Simple Self-Care Tips for Overwhelm
In this episode, we dive into the collective feelings of exhaustion and overwhelm that many of us experience during the fall season. And this year in particular, as schedules change and responsibilities increase, it's important to also acknowledge how external events—like the ongoing effects of COVID-19 and the turbulent political landscape—are deeply impacting our well-being.
We discuss the importance of recognizing and validating these feelings, rather than spiritual bypassing or gaslighting ourselves. You’ll find practical self-care strategies to help you cope with the season's challenges, emphasizing awareness and simplicity. From nourishing your body and calming your nervous system to engaging in meaningful relationships, this episode offers a variety of actionable steps to promote balance and self-compassion.
Join me as we explore ways to create space for ourselves amidst the chaos and cultivate a sense of ease and grounding during this tumultuous time. Remember, you don't have to do it all—start with one small practice that resonates with you.
The offerings in this episode are robust and it is meant to serve as a guide you can reference again and again throughout the fall.
