As we enter October, the fall season is already asking us for something radical: Deep rest.
I, for one, have been feeling these energies for the last month and have been dragged, kicking and screaming, to the realization that the seasonal intelligence… is not wrong. 😬
I grew up in the 80s and 90s. My father grew up during the Great Depression and my mother was the first child of an immigrant family newly arrived in New York.
Needless to say, I grew up with a work ethic.
I have always prized my ability to laser focus, honed during afternoons in chaotic YMCAs surrounded by screaming children as I did my homework.
I have loved my track record of never missing a deadline and always delivering on promises:
Even that one time in my copywriting career when a client’s lawyer nixed an entire 30-page sales letter for a highly publicized multimillion dollar launch.
At 9pm. The night before we went live.
Yep, I valiantly stayed up all night and wrote a brand new 30-page sales letter with enough time to spare for the web designers to get it into design and live by 7am the next morning.
While everyone partied and celebrated the millions coming in on launch day… this girl was passed out 🤤 drooling in some random bed in the house hosting our launch team.
As a healer, I got even more wrapped up in the hard worker identity.
Focused on crisis heals, I’d take any heal request, even if it was 7pm on a Saturday night. I was working a surgeon’s lifestyle without making a surgeon’s pay.
Yes I was saving lives. But at what cost to my own?
I haven’t felt aliveness and joy and ease in a long time… not the way I did when I was younger.
Finally having a close brush with death several months ago…
Let’s just say I woke up. Not to spirit. But to my body. My humanity. My deservingness of joy and aliveness.
And I’m here to collect.
If you are too… let’s do this.

This strengthens the field and helps me live what I teach, so you and I both can source more balance, more joy and more aliveness. 🙏
What We’re Letting Go Of
These survival scripts are heavily reinforced in schools that require children to have perfect attention, perfect scores, perfect extracurriculars and perfect behavior.
They’re encouraged in careers and entrepreneurial paths that celebrate the most exhausted, the one who’s sacrificed the most, those that never sleep, never rest, never not work.
But what these survival patterns often mask is collective and personal fear.
Fear of stillness. Fear of being forgotten or left behind or of missing out. Fear of losing control.
But fear disguised as “efficiency” will eventually collapse.
Not with a bang. But with a slow, aching misalignment. So let’s name these, and then we’ll walk through how to gently dismantle them.
1. Hustle
→ New Pattern: Listening
What it did:
Let you override fear with movement.
Let you bypass emotion with momentum.
Let you feel in control through compulsion
Why it’s falling apart:
