In this solo episode of The AHA! Moment Podcast, Angelina shares why she’s treating September as the real new year. After swapping lobster rolls for soups and tan lines for sweaters, she’s embracing fall in New England as the season to reset, cut what isn’t working, and close out 2025 strong.

From making a slowed-down fall playlist, to swapping the Notes app for a physical autumn notebook, to leaning into the wave of 2000s nostalgia, Angelina explores how small seasonal rituals can bring joy and clarity. She also makes the case for taking a fall field trip and reframing Q4 as your home stretch to recalibrate and adjust routines as the clocks change.

If you’re craving a cozy reset, this episode is for you.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How transitional seasons like fall create natural opportunities for change
• The power of an unfamiliar fall playlist
• My autumn notebook vs. the Notes app
• Why nostalgia is the ultimate fall comfort — and how to embrace it intentionally
• How to plan a fall field trip to spark fun and creativity
