Wheel of the Year - Beltane

Apr 28, 2025

Dear friend,

We’re halfway between Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice, and that means it’s Beltane—the high holiday of fire, fertility, flowers, and flirting.

To be honest, this is my favorite celebration of the entire year. Because my birthday is April 29, and this Sabbat always feels a little like a big birthday party. Of course it isn't--but I can (and do) pretend ;)

Beltane is an ancient Celtic festival that celebrates the return of warmth and the spark of life. This is a time of sensuality, vitality, and seasonal devotion. It’s joyful, a lil sexy, and best shared with your community (or at least your higher self).

Usually celebrated leading up to and on May Day (May 1), so I am sending you this email a little early so you can make some plans. As always, I am including a printable graphic with things I personally do to commemorate the festival that you can use every year.

Here are 4 simple ways to celebrate:

Which is to say:👉 The way we relate to ourselves👉 The way we relate to each other👉 The way we relate to something bigger…are all deeply connected. 👋 New here? I refer to God as Jerry Gergich from Parks & Rec. Here’s why 📼👈 Now listen—It’s way easier to treat yourself (...

Little Pitchers, Big Ears

Hoppy Easter to those who keep that calendar! 🐰💐 Last week, we talked about the 4 Sacred Times — moments when we intentionally show up for our people. (Need a refresher? Check it out here.) This week, let’s talk about the passive ways we show up — often without even realizing it. 👉 A coaching client and I were recently untangling some behaviors she wanted to shift. We both realized: we’d been r...

Four Sacred Times

If you know me, this might surprise you… I spent years in couples therapy with my ex-husband. Some of it was helpful. Some of it? A total waste. 💡 Therapy doesn’t work when one person is lying every week. (Shocking, I know.) But there was one thing I learned that changed every relationship in my life—my friendships, my parenting, even my work relationships. It’s called The Four Sacred Times. On...
