Small Worlds[34] - blossomAfter about a 7 month hiatus, we are back on the pod with our most recent guest, Julianne Sison. We take the time to look at the notion of blossoming in relation to our previous concept of seasonal resets. Space is held for Julianne to walk us through the different aspects of her life that have reached a state of blossoming while also collectively looking forward to what seeds we are planting for the future. How do we know we are planting the "right" seeds and if those seeds will ever blossom?

Small Worlds[28] - seasonal resetsAfter being away from the podcast for 5 months, we are back with @jen_anne_co on her third SW episode. We explore the concept of seasonal resets and the humility it reminds us as such small beings in a world where our environment will inevitably overpower us. We also unpack the relationship between self-indulgence and self-preservation as they relate to self care and the absences we sometimes unintentionally leave behind. How do we allow ourselves to feel that is enough to have the opportunity to ask our universe questions without the expectations of answers in return?
