In this final episode of this 4-part series, I reflect on what fall teaches us about release, wisdom, and surrender. Just like nature lets go of what it no longer needs, this episode is an invitation to consider what you're ready to shed in your own life...whether it's old patterns, expectations, or timelines.
I share the lessons I’ve learned from years of navigating uncertainty, the beauty that’s come from not having all the answers, and why I now believe the unknown isn’t something to fear, but something to trust. This will be a life lesson I carry with me forever, but I’m open to embracing it, practicing it, and looking for evidence of it everywhere. (When we pay attention, it's everywhere.)
Because as we brace for our next personal Winter, we know this: spring always follows.
If you're rounding out the last season of your personal Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter, or if you're in a season of transition, this episode is for you. Each person's season is unique to their own journey.
In this 4-part mini-series we will dive into how nature’s seasons mirror our own personal growth.
Just like nature, we all experience seasons in life. Some quiet, some turbulent, but all with purpose. When we open ourselves to explore them, we uncover lessons that shape who we are. Join me as I dive into a journey of transformation, resilience, and the powerful wisdom nature has to offer.
At the end of each episode, I share a self-discovery prompt from my second book, Thank You for Dumping Me.

Thank You for Dumping Me is a book about a blindsided breakup turned personal growth opportunity, learning to love yourself after heartache, and the challenging transitions that help us get to know ourselves more deeply. It’s raw and real, with witty humor and a lot of heart! Readers have described Thank You for Dumping Me as a genre of its own—memoir-meets-novel—and a book they “couldn’t put down,” a “real page-turner.”
I am on a mission to rebrand breakups from something to be feared, dreaded, and full of sorrow to opportunities for growth, self-discovery, and life course redirects.

Aww yes, finally, radiant summer has arrived! Doesn't mean life is dandy and perfect but it can be when life finally starts to feel like it’s catching up with the seeds planted long ago. I share the story of saying yes to love again.
As hinted in the last episode, Spring, I share more about reconnecting with my ex in 2022 and how it's unfolded.
You'll also hear about:
- Writing my book 'Thank You for Dumping Me' in real time…while being back with the man whose breakup planted the seed for it in the first place
- The parallels and plot twists between my first book and what really happened
- Why summer is about celebrating the bloom and honoring the messy path it took to get here
Whether you're basking in your own season of bloom or still waiting for the sun to break through, this episode is a reminder that growth is always happening. Often in ways we can't yet see.

A couple weeks ago I shared the first episode in this mini series, Winter. Now it’s Springs turn. Just when I think I’m super comfy sharing my guts to the world…**cough cough** my book 'Thank You for Dumping Me' here I am posting this ep with that nervous feeling fluttering in my stomach.
Tune in to take a time machine back to 2020 where I was packing my stuff up in a moving truck, healing from grief, navigating toxic relationships, to 2022 and the biggest plot twist of my life…reconnecting with my ex (now fiancé!). This season of rebirth reminds me that growth is messy, but so beautiful. 🌸
