Aww yes, finally, radiant summer has arrived! Doesn't mean life is dandy and perfect but it can be when life finally starts to feel like it’s catching up with the seeds planted long ago. I share the story of saying yes to love again. As hinted in the last episode, Spring, I share more about reconnecting with my ex in 2022 and how it's unfolded into a life we now share together. From moving in to getting engaged just 10 days after my second book release, Thank You for Dumping Me, in summer 2024...and YES it's about OUR breakup. This Summer season for me was packed with magic, momentum, and took a whole lot of trust. You'll also hear about: - Writing my book 'Thank You for Dumping Me' in real time…while being back with the man whose breakup planted the seed for it in the first place - The parallels and plot twists between my first book and what really happened - Why summer is about celebrating the bloom and honoring the messy path it took to get here Whether you're basking in your own season of bloom or still waiting for the sun to break through, this episode is a reminder that growth is always happening. Often in ways we can't yet see. -- In this 4-part mini-series we will dive into how nature’s seasons mirror our own personal growth. Just like nature, we all experience seasons in life. Some quiet, some turbulent, but all with purpose. When we open ourselves to explore them, we uncover lessons that shape who we are. Join me as I dive into a journey of transformation, resilience, and the powerful wisdom nature has to offer. At the end of each episode, I share a self-discovery prompt from my second book, *Thank You for Dumping Me*.

It’s raw and real, with witty humor and a lot of heart! Readers have described Thank You for Dumping Me as a genre of its own—memoir-meets-novel—and a book they “couldn’t put down,” a “real page-turner.” I am on a mission to rebrand breakups from something to be feared, dreaded, and full of sorrow to opportunities for growth, self-discovery, and life course redirects.
