I'm back after my first ever missed episode—and I'm not apologizing for it. Last week was back to school, my daughter's sixth birthday, and a week where life was simply asking to be lived rather than documented. So I lived it. Fully. And I came back restored.
This episode is about essentialism in action—not as a concept but as an actual lived choice. We're weaving together Essentialism by Greg McKeown, Kate Northrup's Do Less, a check-in on the summer you designed back in June, and the energy of this exact moment: the last day of July, the eve of August, and the beautiful Virgo season pivot that's coming.
Because August is not the end of summer. It's the closing moment. And closing moments deserve to be intentional.
IN THIS EPISODE, WE EXPLORE:
Why I took last week off and what essentialism actually looks like as a real decision
Greg McKeown's Essentialism and Kate Northrup's Do Less—two books pointing at the same truth
