So I wanted to kick off my fave time of the year with a gorgeous Gilmore Girls-inspired, roll out of the coziest content. However, I was living life & I am only just getting my priorities in order again - anyone know what that’s like?
So much is expected of us during the summer I feel, from ourselves &/or others. Planning or attending events, weddings, birthdays, baby showers, holidays and motives. hot girl summer for days & heat waves… & then Autumn arrived. Things slowed as the leaves glow. Pumpkin Spiced Latte anyone? For a lot of us, the change of season is a sigh of relief, as cozy girl autumn/winter rises. I feel at home in Autumn 🍂 & this is reflected in my menstrual cycle’s inner seasons too! Which leads me to my first announcement:
my menstrual cycle coaching course is over! I still have my assessment to complete & I won’t get my certification until April, but I am well & truly in my MC Coaching/ Educating era! Can we celebrate?
I turned 29 on the 1st October, & it was lovely quiet birthday with my two fave people :). Streamlining life is just something I think we all do near our birthdays, it’s our personal new year. I did a lot of decluttering, and home revamps at the end of Sept. As usual I switched out the summer home decor & put the fall wreaths up. I made a housekeeping schedule so I can keep on top of the chores, in commitment to the modern homemaker role. I’m trying, because I want to show up in my career more than I ever have. In the past, i’ve cared about my work, but now, I’m doing something that is intrinsically important & cool, & I wanna give it my all!

Oh also, I thought i’d try my hand at filming videos for Vlogtober so I’m on Youtube now yay! I’m enjoying it but we will see if I keep it up. I have a lot of creative freedom moving into this next chapter of my life - but I love writing & audio mostly. So thanks for being here x
For the rest of Autumn, I will be sharing a little on the relationship between the outer autumn season, & the inner autumn season. The for Winter, we will focus on the inner winter phase of the cycle & get cozy with it. I’ll be using @joeliviae on Instagram to direct you all to this blog, whilst my website is being worked on.
Second announcement: @joeliviae is live on Instagram! Give it a follow if you haven’t yet.
I don’t want to go too heavy on the content because I feel like Insta isn’t the place to learn. If we are serious about living a simple, synced & seasonal life, then I’d like to lean less on the app, just because it can be so distracting and impersonal. Nevertheless, it’s easy & cute, & it has it’s pros.
Let me know how you’re feeling right now. I’m almost anxious for October’s end, but what better lesson to learn now, than the beauty of letting golden leaves go, right?
Until next time,
stay blessed..
