Ever wonder why one week you feel full of energy and the next you can’t seem to find your rhythm? It’s not that you’re failing—it’s that you might be out of sync with the natural season of your life.

In this episode, Sara reads an excerpt from her new book Room for Home: A Woman’s Guide to Work-Life Balance, Beginning with Your Space. She'll help you discover why chasing balance never works, and how flowing with the seasons (and the Five Elements) can help you reclaim your time, energy, and sense of self.

In this episode, we explore the Earth Element—not just as a season, but as a personality archetype rooted in Chinese Five Element theory. If you’re the nurturer, the caregiver, the one who worries about everyone else before yourself… you might be Earth-dominant.

I’ll walk you through the key traits, emotional patterns, and even physical imbalances often experienced by Earth types—and how understanding this can support deeper balance across your life and home.

This episode also touches on:

• Why the Earth season is a vital (but often skipped) transition
• Signs you’re living out of sync with your element
• How to identify clutter patterns and emotional cycles common in Earth homes
• Simple shifts to ground yourself before Fall

Plus, the free workshop replay I just hosted—Seasonal Planning with the Five Elements—is available for a short time. It dives deeper into how to honor the Earth season through your home and schedule so you feel supported before moving forward again.

Before we jump headfirst into fall routines, there’s a moment in the seasonal cycle that often goes unnoticed—the quiet pause between summer’s high energy and autumn’s busy momentum.

In this episode, we explore the Earth element’s role as this natural pause point, helping you re-center, rebalance, and prepare for what’s next without rushing. I’m sharing why this transitional energy matters, how to work with it in your home and daily life, and a preview of my upcoming workshop where we’ll dive deeper into aligning with both the Earth and Metal elements for the season ahead.

Whether you’re feeling the “back to school” energy or simply craving a more intentional way to wrap up your year, this conversation will help you create space for clarity and alignment before the pace picks up again.

In this soulful finale to our summer guest series, Sara is joined by Kaye Preston—Design Editor, Wellbeing Consultant, and Editor of WLLW (Willow)—for a deeply thoughtful conversation on the evolving role of home in our health, identity, and healing.

Kaye shares her winding journey from luxury workplace design to becoming a voice in the healthy home movement, and how moments of personal loss and global disruption led her to reimagine what it truly means to live well—at home. Together, we explore the emotional impact of losing a home, how to begin designing with intention, and why vintage pieces and natural materials hold more than just aesthetic value—they hold energy, longevity, and story.

We also dive into the power of vernacular architecture, the sustainability of slowness, and why your bedroom might just be the most transformative space to begin. Whether you’re ready for a full home reset or simply curious about mindful design, this conversation is filled with gentle insights to help you reconnect to your space—and to yourself.

The truth about materials, off-gassing, and air quality

What if your physical symptoms were rooted in emotional or spiritual imbalance—not just the body?

To kick off our Summer Guest Series, I’m joined by Dr. Monique G. Rodriguez, L. Ac., licensed acupuncture physician and founder of Five Element Wellness Center. We dive into the powerful world of Five Element Acupuncture—a unique approach within Traditional Chinese Medicine that treats the root cause of imbalance by understanding a person’s core elemental constitution: wood, fire, earth, metal, or water.

Dr. Monique shares:

• How Five Element Acupuncture differs from traditional methods
• Why the emotional body matters just as much as the physical
• The traits of each element (and how to spot your own)
• Her holistic advice for women in their 40s & 50s navigating hormone shifts, identity changes, and the desire for something more
• What happens when your element is out of balance—and how to support it

• 
  

We also talk about nervous system regulation, emotional release, midlife clarity, and how lifestyle + environment influence your overall well-being.

If you’re craving a deeper, more aligned understanding of health—and yourself—this episode is a must.
