Hello Reader,
💛 Weekly Check-In
Happy September!
Many people enter this month with a sense of a fresh start, a new beginning. Maybe it is simply that summer is ending and a new school year is beginning, and with that comes a certain excitement in the air. Maybe it is that fall is right around the corner, inviting us to go inward and reflect. I am personally so excited for this time of year, the splendor of the fall leaves, all things Halloween.
And it is the first of the month, which means it is the perfect day for a small ritual.
Take a pinch of cinnamon in your palm and blow it across your doorway before you leave the house today. Then actually clean your door, wipe it down, sweep the space in front of it, let it be clear.
Cinnamon at the threshold is an old money ritual. It invites abundance in. A clean door does the same thing energetically, it clears the way for what is trying to reach you.
Small practice. Real energy. Do it before you rush out the door.
🎙 On the Podcast This Week
Have you ever set a goal you truly wanted, felt the momentum building, and then somehow found yourself reorganizing a junk drawer instead of finishing it.
That is exactly where this week's conversation begins.
I sat down with Theresa Lear Levine, founder of Becoming More Me, bestselling author, EFT master practitioner, hypnotherapist, and subconscious transformation expert, to talk about what is really happening underneath self-sabotage. And it has almost nothing to do with willpower.
We talked about how EFT tapping creates a real, felt shift in the body, and why understanding something intellectually is nothing like experiencing it for yourself. Theresa walked me through the subconscious as this deep, ocean-like layer beneath our everyday awareness, where our earliest programming and limiting beliefs actually live. She explained why your nervous system has a familiar set point it works hard to protect, and how that shows up as sudden exhaustion, distraction, or an urgent need to clean the house right when you are closest to finishing something that matters.
She also opened up about her own late-in-life ADHD diagnosis, and shared her seven-minute daily practice, Finish What You Start, designed to help your nervous system feel safe enough to actually follow through.
This one is for anyone who has ever wondered why they can know exactly what to do and still not do it.

🌑 What's in the Sky?
We are sitting in a Waning Gibbous Moon in Taurus today, four days past last week's Full Moon.
This is a release phase. The Moon is asking you to let go of what the Full Moon illuminated, slowly and without force. Taurus energy underneath it all is steady, grounded, and unhurried. It is not asking you to have an answer today. It is asking you to feel your feet on the floor and trust that stability is not the same thing as stagnation.
If something felt urgent two weeks ago, notice whether it still feels urgent now, or whether it was simply asking to be released.
The next New Moon lands September 11th, and it will bring a true fresh start. Until then, this is a season for integration, not initiation.
For the full transmission, listen to this week’s Frequency Friday.
🔮 Card Pull
✨ Queen of Pentacles
I pulled the Queen of Pentacles this morning. Her message: Ground yourself in what is real, and abundance follows.
This queen is not chasing anything. She is nurturing, practical, and deeply connected to her body and her resources. She builds slowly and she builds well. She does not need to prove her worth through hustle, because she already knows what she is capable of.
Here is what she wants you to know. You do not have to earn your rest. You do not have to rush your becoming. The life you are building is allowed to grow at the pace of a garden, not the pace of a deadline.
Hey, hey Queen.
A gentle reminder: tarot can be a meaningful tool for reflection and intuition rather than a way to predict fixed outcomes. Let this card serve as an invitation to notice where its message resonates in your own life.
