Autumn asks us to release — and grief is one of the most sacred forms of letting go.

In this episode, Sarah explores grief not just as loss, but as a portal to healing — and why the autumn season is uniquely suited to processing it. As the natural world sheds its leaves and turns inward, we're given a living metaphor and a real opportunity to meet our own grief with more grace.

Sarah walks through the Five Gates of Grief, weaves in cultural grief practices from around the world, and looks at how Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda both understand autumn as a season of release, lungs, letting go and turning inward. She also speaks to grief as something we don't just think our way through — but something we feel and move through the body.

This episode is an invitation to stop pushing grief aside and instead let this season hold you as you process it.

In this episode, you'll discover:

🍂 Why autumn is a season that supports grief processing on a physical, energetic and cultural level
- The Five Gates of Grief and what each one reveals about how we lose and how we heal
- Cultural grief practices and rituals from around the world, and what we've lost by moving away from them
- The Traditional Chinese Medicine view of autumn, the lungs and letting go
- The Ayurvedic perspective on autumn as a season of transition and release
- Why grief is somatic — and how to begin processing it in the body, not just the mind
- Why grief doesn't need to be fixed, rushed or explained — only witnessed
- How to let this season support you in releasing what you've been holding

Grief is not a problem to solve. It's a portal — and autumn is holding the door open.

If you're moving through grief and want deeper, embodied support, Sarah invites you to join The Healing Portal — her membership community for women, where she works as a trauma-informed somatic coach guiding holistic healing practices for grief, nervous system regulation and seasonal living.

NEW MOON IN VIRGO 🌑 | Coming Home to Your Body, Your Rhythm & What Truly Matters

The Virgo New Moon invites us to pause, simplify and come back to what is essential.

But rather than turning this energy into another opportunity to optimise ourselves, fix ourselves or create a never-ending list of things we should be doing, in this episode we explore Virgo through a trauma-informed, nervous-system-aware lens.

What if healing isn't about becoming a better version of yourself?

What if it’s about creating enough safety in your body to hear what you actually need?

In this episode, we explore the wisdom of Virgo season, the themes of discernment, digestion, daily rituals, boundaries and embodiment — and how these can support us to create lives that are nourishing rather than simply productive.

We’ll look at:

🌿 The energy of the Virgo New Moon and what it is inviting us to reset
🌿 The difference between healthy discernment and perfectionism
🌿 Why “self-improvement” can sometimes become another form of self-abandonment
🌿 The connection between the nervous system, routine and a sense of safety
🌿 Ayurveda and Virgo season — including digestion, rhythm and the importance of simple daily practices
🌿 Moving away from “I should” and towards “what does my body actually need?”
🌿 How to create supportive rituals without turning them into rigid rules
🌿 Coming back to the body, the present moment and what truly matters

This is an invitation to slow down, listen inward and tend to yourself with compassion rather than correction.

You don't need to fix yourself.

You don't need to optimise your life.

You might simply need to listen.
