September wasn’t about doing more — it was about connecting more. In this episode, I reflect on one of my biggest wins this month: slowing down enough to share meals with my family and spend time with friends we hadn’t seen in a while.

I share how, even though I missed my canning window this year, I still found joy in creating moments that brought everyone together.

I'll also discuss the seasonal mindset shift from the busy, back-to-school rush into the slower, cozier rhythms of October; like changing out candles, setting up the porch with mums and pumpkins, and making the first pot of soup that marks the start of cozy Fall season.
