Hi, how are you?

Do you feel how October arrives with a gentle shift in the air—

cooler mornings, golden afternoons, and a whisper from nature reminding us that seasons change, and so do we.

This month carries a natural invitation: to pause, reflect, and renew.

Some of you are partaking in "Sober October."

A space where you take a better look at your relationship with alcohol, without judgment, or expectation - but instead curiosity around your experience.

It is about how you want to feel.

I remember taking an intentional "break" and it was the best thing I ever did.

At Curious on Life, I offer 30 day break - coaching.

I have witnessed so many people transition in this space.

Where alcohol becomes small and irrelevant. The best news is that it is never too late.

When we aren't intentional, It’s easy to move through life on autopilot—decisions made quickly, creativity set aside, self-care pushed to the bottom of the list.

But October, with its turning leaves and soft light, encourages us to slow down. It reminds us that life isn’t just about moving forward; it’s also about pausing to take stock, to honor the journey so far, and to realign with what truly matters.

✨ Reflection gives us clarity. Looking back over the past months, we can see where we’ve grown, what we’ve overcome, and what lessons still ask to be integrated.

✨ Intention helps us choose with care. Whether in our daily decisions, our creative expressions, or the way we care for ourselves, October invites us to step forward with thoughtfulness and heart.

✨ Renewal happens when we let go. Just as the trees release their leaves, we too can shed what no longer nourishes us—habits, old stories, or ways of being that keep us small.

And woven through it all is self-care.

Not the quick fixes or checklists, but deep, soul-level care that allows us to feel grounded, nourished, and whole.

As you move through this season, I invite you to take moments for yourself: journal with a cup of tea, paint or create just for the joy of it, walk under a canopy of autumn leaves, or simply breathe more deeply.

Nature is a Muse.
