In this year’s final episode, Sara share reflections inspired by her recent Winter/Water workshop inside her Seasonal Alignment Practice & Community. Winter invites us inward, asking us to slow down, reflect on what has been, and create space for what’s next without forcing clarity or rushing toward resolutions.
Sara explore’s how the Water element supports deep rest, trust, faith, and stillness, especially at the end of a heavy year marked by endings, shedding, and transition. This conversation is an invitation to soften your own rhythms, tend to your nervous system, and allow insight to emerge naturally.
Sara also shares why the bedroom becomes an especially important space during winter, how mindful evening rituals support better rest, and why reflection, not productivity, is the real work of this season.

This week, I’m sharing something new—a guided meditation on gratitude for the home. Inspired by Thanksgiving week’s themes of gratitude, today’s episode invites you to reconnect with the space that holds all of you: your home.
We so often talk about gratitude for people, opportunities, or big moments, but rarely do we pause to acknowledge the quiet devotion of the place that shelters us, supports us, and breathes alongside us.
In this short guided meditation, we explore:
This is a beautiful practice anytime you want to feel more anchored, supported, and connected to yourself and your home.
Find a cozy spot to snuggle up, slow down, and let yourself return home.
This week, we’re gathering around the table—literally. Whether your dining room is set for the holidays or doubling as your home office, this episode invites you to reconnect with this often misused space.
Sara shares how to transform your dining room into a space that nourishes connection, supports digestion, and reflects the energy of the season. You’ll learn how to decorate using the Five Elements, why mindful meals matter, and how your dining space can even become a manifestation tool for creativity and completion.

You’ll learn how to identify where this energy lives in your home, how to clear what’s blocking it, and how to bring in simple touches that open space for mentorship, collaboration, and divine timing.

Replay Access - Seasonal Planning with the Five Elements
In this episode, we explore the Earth Element—not just as a season, but as a personality archetype rooted in Chinese Five Element theory. If you’re the nurturer, the caregiver, the one who worries about everyone else before yourself… you might be Earth-dominant.
I’ll walk you through the key traits, emotional patterns, and even physical imbalances often experienced by Earth types—and how understanding this can support deeper balance across your life and home.
This episode also touches on:
Plus, the free workshop replay I just hosted—Seasonal Planning with the Five Elements—is available for a short time. It dives deeper into how to honor the Earth season through your home and schedule so you feel supported before moving forward again.
Seasonal Planning with the Five Elements
Before we jump headfirst into fall routines, there’s a moment in the seasonal cycle that often goes unnoticed—the quiet pause between summer’s high energy and autumn’s busy momentum.
In this episode, we explore the Earth element’s role as this natural pause point, helping you re-center, rebalance, and prepare for what’s next without rushing. I’m sharing why this transitional energy matters, how to work with it in your home and daily life, and a preview of my upcoming workshop where we’ll dive deeper into aligning with both the Earth and Metal elements for the season ahead.
Whether you’re feeling the “back to school” energy or simply craving a more intentional way to wrap up your year, this conversation will help you create space for clarity and alignment before the pace picks up again.
Seasonal Planning Workshop this August
In this soulful finale to our summer guest series, Sara is joined by Kaye Preston—Design Editor, Wellbeing Consultant, and Editor of WLLW (Willow)—for a deeply thoughtful conversation on the evolving role of home in our health, identity, and healing.
Kaye shares her winding journey from luxury workplace design to becoming a voice in the healthy home movement, and how moments of personal loss and global disruption led her to reimagine what it truly means to live well—at home. Together, we explore the emotional impact of losing a home, how to begin designing with intention, and why vintage pieces and natural materials hold more than just aesthetic value—they hold energy, longevity, and story.
We also dive into the power of vernacular architecture, the sustainability of slowness, and why your bedroom might just be the most transformative space to begin. Whether you’re ready for a full home reset or simply curious about mindful design, this conversation is filled with gentle insights to help you reconnect to your space—and to yourself.
