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

70. This is not the end: building joy, resistance, and legacy
The shit we need to talk about this week: being in survival mode and the power of reflecting on the past - on times and generations that navigated the hardest of experiences in order to simply live and also create change for the future.
Ya’ll. In this rich and deeply honest conversation, Colice Sanders (she/her) joins me to explore what it means to create joy and meaning in the midst of chaos, grief, and systems that weren’t built for us. Through personal storytelling, ancestral reflection, and radical truth-telling, we unpack how resistance can look like joy, survival, or stillness—and why legacy isn’t just about big actions, but about the everyday choices we make to sustain ourselves and our communities. This episode is a reminder that even in the mess, we still get to choose joy, we still get to show up—and this is not the end.
