Hey dear Reader, This week has felt heavy... But I know it's not just this particular past week as my family waited to see what would happen to my parents' home in Sarasota, FL. And it's not just the tears from watching entire Appalachian towns wiped off the map. And it's not just the anger as the American government continues to funnel money to wars overseas while citizen heroes are threatened for helping neighbors evacuate. It's all of it. It's the times we're in — this uncovering of the...

hey Reader, here’s the thing… I get that talking about the Wheel of the Year may seem a little… random? out there? sort of like… “who actually cares?”… most you found your way to me because I was sharing exclusively about cycle syncing and balancing hormones for our female bodies — which is an important topic! but like I shared last month, that was kind of a cop-out for me. But this — talking about the deeper aspects that have been part of my healing path {that I hope will serve you well,...

Hey Reader, yesterday, the New Moon in Leo opened up a doorway for us to enter into the energy of Lughnasa and honor this season of harvest. while this isn’t always the case, this year’s Lughnasa Cross-Quarter Day is unique as it began with Lunar Lughnasa {the Moon in Leo} and builds to Solar Lughnasa {happening Wednesday, when the Sun touches 15* Leo}. the Cross-Quarter Holy Day of Lughnasa is centered around honoring the harvest — both literally {blueberries, cucumbers, and melons, oh my!}...

hey Reader, {sharing a bit about Lughnasa first — but if you want to hop right to the new LUGHNASA SPIRAL offer → CLICK HERE! } are you familiar with the Cross-Quarter Day called "Lughnasa?" Also known as Lammas or even "Loaf Mass," this is a point in the Wheel of the Year that turns our attention to the harvest. the Sun's light and life force through the growing season has gifted us with so many nourishing resources — and similarly, in our lives we're offered a moment to reflect on all that...

hey Reader, yesterday i shared how i’ve been struggling with how to grow Garden of the Moon in a way that feels really aligned and how i’ve been playing it safe… basically that i’ve had to come to grips with the fact that ~ if i want my Soul’s work to thrive through Garden of the Moon, it’s time for me to showthefuckup in Full Expression. but the reality is… I’VE BEEN F*CKING TERRIFIED TO SHOW IT TO YOU. scared of being judged. scared of being laughed at. scared of being told that i’m out of...

oh hello Reader, SO…. i’m going to cut to the chase here — it’s been a bumpy month and a half. in short — i’ve been in the trenches of asking WHY things with Garden of the Moon just 👏 don’t 👏 feel 👏 RIGHT 👏 and i want to share with you what’s been brewing in the cauldron recently. since relaunching the new brand & packaging at the end of January, there’s been some growth… fits and bursts… but it feels like a SLOG. like tugging on a dog’s leash when she’s decided you are most definitely going...

Hey there Reader, I’ve been reflecting a lot lately about how much my relationship with my period has changed over the years. From that first bleed in 7th grade {and trying desperately to hide it from everyone 🤦♀️} to feeling deeply, wildly grateful for this powerful infradian rhythm that guides me day-in and day-out, all month long. I’m nearing 38 {July 15 bday, for those keeping track 😜} and as I inch closer to 40, there’s a real awareness that I have a limited time left of this cyclical...
