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

65. Stop the self-criticism: Recognize the self-care you’re already practicing to survive burnout
The shit we need to talk about this week: the collective burnout and overwhelm we’re feeling since the inauguration is real.
We have got to acknowledge and validate our personal struggles as we face the unprecedented nature of current times here in the US.
In this week’s episode, I put a spotlight on the need for self-care now more than ever and advocate for it through a different lens than we’ve discussed before: the importance of recognizing the ultra basic daily self-care you’re doing. And, I take a deep dive into the two main ways this is having a big impact:
1) The most basic of self-care practices are necessary for your survival and right now, in the hardest of days as legislation and necessary organizations get torn down right before our eyes, that is pretty much our main goal
2) Recognition of these practices and their effect on us keeps our focus where it needs to be rather than sending us into a spiral about all the ways we’re failing to show up despite our best effort.
I also guide you through a practice for reaffirming your commitment to the way you want to show up in the world, and renewing your motivation with small intentional steps forward.
Ya’ll, it is time to stop the self-criticism, give ourselves tons of credit and grace as we do our best to show up in this hellscape and move forward through the burnout in a sustainable way.
