Apples on the ground.
The apples on the ground tell us what time it is.
My husband Ben said this phrase a few days ago and it inspired this. Thanks, Bu. 🍏
When autumn rolls around, I find myself thoughtfully chewing on the delectable fruits of my labors... which ones are ready for harvest? And how will I conserve and concentrate my focus for the remaining months ahead?
In this spirit of wise discernment, I offer you this September 2026 edition of The Goods, resplendent with resources to fill your cup and hone your focus on what matters most.
Enjoy!

[podcast] An Expert on Conflict Says Your Relationships Are Doomed Without It
Ben sent me this interview with Priya Parker. It's a fantastic conversation. If you're in relationship with any human beings, I recommend it.
[book rec] Warren Buffet’s Letters to Shareholders (1965-2024)
My friend Mike recommended this collection of all Warren Buffet's letters to the Berkshire-Hathaway shareholders, up until his retirement in 2024. I haven't read it yet but it's in my queue.
[another book rec] Money for Couples
Ben and I have been working through Ramit's latest book. I've found it supportive. Money can feel like a heavy topic for many couples. Ramit does a great job of bringing levity, perspective and validation to the process.
[ritual] Autumn Equinox Altar Reset
As the equinox or center point between summer and winter approaches, I'm already thinking about an altar reset. This is by far my favorite seasonal ritual for each solstice, equinox and cross quarter celebration. This month is a splendid time to revamp your sacred spaces. Dust, tidy, cull. What's there that you no longer pay attention to? Move it out. What would breathe new life and remind you of the medicine you need this season? Bring it in! Hot tip: schedule an hour on your calendar now for this delightful task. Otherwise your good intentions will likely slip into the black hole of "when I get around to it......"
[video] Lamppost encounter (The Oscillating Pole)
My friend Monique sent me this performance piece snippet via IG. So delightful. I especially appreciate the symbol of the lightpost as the cauldron in which relational alchemy brews...
[podcast] September Almanac: The Last Sheaf
I love Danica Boyce and Fair Folk. Her almanac episodes always scratch a deep itch in my soul to return to the pace of the earth.
[coaching] New ways to work with me
I recently revamped my "Work with Me" page on my website. I'm inspired by my clients these days and am happy to announce 3 openings for new 1-1 clients this fall. My tools and skills are many. My specialities are conscious leadership, burnout prevention, "time management" (you know why I added quotes) and living a life that's guided by Spirit instead of your busy, overbearing mind. If any of that resonates and you vibe with me as a guide and teacher, I warmly invite you to check out 3 options:
🍏 Single Strategy Session
🍏 Glow Up: 3 x session package
🍏 Private mentorship: 6 or 12 months
You'll also find a collection of self-guided courses here to choose from if 1-1 work isn't right for you this season.
That concludes today's transmission, dear one.
May the crisp autumn skies lift your chin, pump fresh oxygen into your lungs and imbue your eyes with opalescent eagle vision!
