72. Reclaiming the end of summer from capitalism
The shit we need to talk about this week: Reclaiming the end of summer from capitalism.
In this episode, I share a deeply personal reflection on the emotional complexity of August and the transition out of summer, and explore what it means to slow down, loosen the grip of society’s “end of summer” and “back to school” messaging, and meet this transitional time with compassion.
My invitation to you: reflect, reframe, and move more intentionally through the end of August and September with emotional support and grounded practices.
Episode Highlights:
A raw, honest look at why August often feels heavy, rushed, and emotionally charged
Insight into how capitalism drives the pressure to shift out of rest and into productivity
Practical tools from yoga philosophy (aparigraha + brahmacharya) for slowing down and managing energy
A compassionate framework for holding both grief and anticipation during times of change
Thoughtful reminders and accessible practices to carry the sweetness of summer into fall
Jump in for all the goodness!
