As the air turns crisp and the leaves begin to change, fall brings with it a powerful invitation: to reset, reflect, and realign. September energy carries both the excitement of new beginnings and the grounding wisdom of routines—and in this episode, we’re exploring how to harness it all. 🍂✨

I’m joined once again by the radiant Shabana Knight, who you may remember from her inspiring story in Episode 12, From Orphanage to Empowerment. Together, we dive into what it means to move through seasonal transitions with grace, ease, and compassion, both for ourselves and our families.

We talk about the push-and-pull energy of September—back-to-school chaos, new schedules, earlier evenings, and the simultaneous winding down and gearing up that comes as the year’s final quarter begins. And through it all, we share practical tools, soulful reminders, and a few funny real-life mom moments that highlight just how powerful intentional routines and boundaries can be.

In this episode, we explore:

• The fresh-start energy of September
• The beauty (and challenges) of shifting routines as kids go back to school
• Simple yet powerful daily practices to protect and restore your energy
• Meal planning hacks, nighttime resets, and how “many hands make the work lighter”
• Why teaching kids responsibility (yes, even laundry!) is a gift to everyone
• Decluttering, Feng Shui, and the energetic freedom of creating spaciousness at home
• Honoring our children’s emotional transitions and giving ourselves grace in the process

Whether you’re a parent navigating school schedules or someone simply feeling the shift into a new season, this conversation will leave you with inspiration, grounded strategies, and heartfelt encouragement to step into fall with clarity and ease.
