Harvest Season

Happy Monday! Apologies for the late newsletter this week. Technical glitches 🙄... anyway, here it is!

This time of year is definitely one of my favorites. The weather. The buzz of back-to-school energy. And let’s not forget the harvest season — fresh tomatoes, corn, blueberries, herbs, and greens, oh my!

The abundance of late summer is evident. The metaphor of harvest season, abundance, and seasonal transitions is not lost on me. As the days get shorter and the nights get cooler, I find myself reflecting on the year thus far.

What have I been growing this year?
What am I harvesting in my life right now?
What seeds that I planted earlier in the year could use a little more TLC?

In both occupational therapy and health & wellness coaching, I often talk about the importance of adapting our routines, energy, and expectations, as the environment and context around us is ever-changing. While routines can provide stability, they may also reduce our flexibility and make it harder to adapt when life shifts.

Times of transition (both personal and seasonal) are a perfect opportunity to reflect and reassess what’s working for you — and explore the areas of your inner garden that could use a bit more nourishment or tending.

How about you? What are you harvesting from your efforts this year—and what needs more compost to help it flourish? 😉

Have a wonderful week,

With 🧡, Steph

Weekly Wellness Intention ✨

I welcome this season as an invitation to pause, reflect on what I’ve gathered, and gently realign with what nourishes me most.
