Description

September holds a particular kind of magic.
Even if you haven't cracked a textbook in years—or you're not packing lunches and backpacks—it's hard to ignore the energetic shift. It's subtle, but deeply familiar.

Fresh notebooks. Clean slates. A quiet promise:
You can begin again.

In this gentle, reflective episode, we explore the invitation September offers to the grown-up artist. A chance to start anew—but on your terms. We look at both sides of this seasonal call: the possibility and the pressure, the reinvention and the residue of childhood wounds.

Inside this conversation:
• The sacred psychology of fresh starts and seasonal reinvention
• Why "back-to-school" energy can stir joy and grief
• The myth of adult discipline—and how to redefine it
• How to honour your current season of life in your creative process
• What soft, soul-led accountability looks like for your art
• Sarah's personal writing practice and how she's rebuilding safety in song

This episode is a love letter to the artist who's ready for a fresh start—but needs to hear that it doesn't have to come from force.

This is about choosing ease.
Choosing presence.
Choosing your art, again.

 

If this episode stirred something in you...
If you feel like you're standing at the threshold of a new chapter, but you're not quite sure how to begin—

Embracing An Art-Filled Life was made for this moment.
It's a self-paced journey rooted in softness, sovereignty, and soul. With guided practices, short video lessons, and space to return to whenever you need—this course invites you back into the art of your life.
No pressure. Just presence.

This season is yours to define.
Let the 'back-to-school' energy be a return to you.
Your art. Your pace. Your way.

Be gentle with yourself.
You're doing sacred work.
