While everyone is excited about Halloween, scary movies, cozy clothes, and pumpkin spice lattes… I hate the fall. 🎃

Why?? Because fall has always been a season of loss for me. It’s when I’ve gone through some of the hardest endings of my life. And while the natural world is “letting go” with beauty and grace, for me it doesn’t always feel so graceful.

But here’s the thing about fall.. it is a season of death, endings, and transitions. Spiritually, it asks us to look at what we need to release. It mirrors the truth that not everything is meant to stay forever. People go through natural shed cycles just like the trees in the fall, only to come back brighter and more full of life come the spring.

So if you also struggle in this season, you’re not alone. Instead of forcing yourself to “love fall,” maybe ask:

✨ What am I being asked to let go of right now?
✨ Where am I resisting the natural cycles of change?
✨ How can I create my own sense of comfort when the world feels heavy?

Fall doesn’t have to be about loving pumpkins or cozy sweaters. It can be about honoring your grief, your transitions, and your process of release… and still finding moments of comfort within it.

I had a full mental breakdown earlier today.

I went to my guides and was complaining (because things feel like a s**t show right now).

I was showing them how I feel - like I’m furiously paddling, swimming alone in an ocean, with no land or end in sight.

“I’m tired. When do things get better? When does the chaos stop?”
“The chaos is only temporary, like everything in life. And if you are exhausted from paddling endlessly, float.”
“FLOAT?”
“Float. Rest. Surrender. Give your body and mind a chance to sync up to each other. Give yourself a chance to breathe. Float.”

It seemed so simple and also… so ridiculous. What about my dying cat? What about my bills? What about my exhaustion???

Float.

So I did. I laid on my yoga mat in total surrender. I imagined myself not paddling endlessly in the ocean, and saw myself floating instead. The tension eased. I could breathe again.

If things are an absolute s**t show right now — which… they are, energetically for just about everyone — my one word to you is
