The September Full Moon: Release What No Longer Serves You

 


September 26th is the September Full Moon.

There is something powerful about the Full Moon arriving in the same week as the Fall Equinox.

The Equinox marks a change of seasons and a moment of balance between light and darkness. The Full Moon is often used as a time for reflection and release. Together, they offer a simple reminder: you don't have to carry everything into your next season.

We spend so much time thinking about what we want to add to our lives, new goals, habits, relationships, opportunities, and dreams. But sometimes moving forward isn't about adding more. It's about deciding what we're finally ready to put down.

Maybe it's resentment. An old version of yourself. The need to control an outcome. Someone else's expectations. A relationship you've outgrown. A mistake you keep replaying. Or simply the belief that you should be further along by now.

Fall gives us the perfect reminder. Trees don't fight to hold onto leaves that have completed their season. They let them go and make room for what comes next.

Maybe we can do the same.

A Simple Full Moon Ritual

Find a quiet place, light a candle, make some tea, and take out a piece of paper.

On one side write:

I AM RELEASING...

Write down anything you don't want to carry into this next season.

On the other side write:

I AM MAKING SPACE FOR...

Write down what you want more of—peace, joy, confidence, adventure, love, strength, or whatever feels right for you.

When you're finished, choose one action you can take this week that represents what you're making space for.

Journal Prompts

  • What am I ready to stop carrying?
  • What have I outgrown?
  • What would I like to make more space for in my life?

Full Moon Affirmation

I release what has completed its season in my life and make space for what comes next.

This week, you don't have to have everything figured out.

You just have to decide what you're no longer taking with you.

Release it. Make space. Welcome the next season.

The Power of One Word: Your Guide to Choosing a Word of the Year for 2026

Image
  As we prepare to welcome 2026, many of us feel the excitement of setting goals, making resolutions, and planning the changes we want to create in our lives. But here is something to consider as you think about the year ahead: You do not need a long list of goals to transform your life. You just need one intentional word. This month, I want to share why choosing a Word of the Year can be one of the most meaningful practices you bring into 2026, and how to select a word that truly supports the version of yourself you are becoming. For 2025, my word was introspection . I dedicated the year to looking inward, reading books, listening to podcasts, and taking courses focused on healing, growth, and personal development. It was a season of understanding myself more deeply and gaining clarity about what I truly want. Now I want you to find a word for 2026 and set your intentions around it. Why Choose a Word of the Year Traditional resolutions often fade because they feel overwh...

My Favorite Things 2025

Every year, I love sharing a list of my favorite things, not just to help you shop for the people on your Christmas list, but also to remind you that gifting yourself is absolutely allowed. I firmly believe the best gifts are the ones we already use and love, so all year long I keep a running list of products I can’t live without. When the holiday season rolls around, I simply repurchase these favorites for others, and they never disappoint! All these items are on Black Friday Sale right now!!  1. Comfrt Hoodies These hoodies are next-level cozy, I genuinely can’t explain how relaxing they feel until you put one on. I bought myself one, and now my 13-year-old has three on his Christmas list and my 12-year-old niece wants one, too. They’re a hit for men, women, and honestly, any age. (try code Welcome15 for 15% off) 2. Candle Warmer I am obsessed with candle warmers. I have three in my house! They give all the scent you love from candles without the fear of forgetting to bl...

Family Traditions That Make the Holidays Magical

Image
  Everyone who knows me knows how much I love Christmas. For us, it’s not just a holiday, it’s a whole season that runs from November 1st through December 25th. Even though the boys are teenagers now, we still celebrate exactly the same way. And every year, just when I think they’ve outgrown our traditions, they prove me wrong by asking if we’re still doing them. It always makes me smile and reminds me how special these little rituals truly are. My hope has always been that they carry these memories with them, the same way I carry mine from childhood and that one day they’ll create the same kind of magic for their own families. I also love sharing our traditions because if you’re looking to start something new with your own people, sometimes all you need is an idea or two to spark something special. It’s hard to choose favorites, but two traditions are definitely at the top of my list. First: our yearly ornaments. Every time we visit a new state, we bring home an ornament, a...
