Listen "221 - Rethinking September"
Episode Synopsis
September arrives with crisp air, new planners, and the quiet promise of a fresh start. But for many of us, that “reset” can quickly morph into all-or-nothing rules, shame, and overwhelm. In this candid episode, Michelle shares how she slid into the September Reset trap after a joyful, fulfilling summer—and how a quarterly planning day helped her course-correct back to care, not control.You’ll hear:A personal story about swapping a summer of fulfilment for an overloaded September to-do list—and what snapped her out of itWhy the reset mindset is so tempting (hello, back-to-school conditioning + fall marketing)How diet culture disguises control as discipline and “getting back on track”The real cost of resets: shame cycles, rigidity, ignoring your body’s cuesA gentler approach: recalibration and rhythmThe morning question: “What do I need to be happy today?”Examples that feel like care (earlier bedtimes, simple soups, evening walks) rather than rulesMoving from starting over to honouring what you’ve already builtIf this episode resonated, share it with a friend who’s feeling the September pressure.
