Wheel of the Year - Spring Equinox

Mar 20, 2025

Dear friend,

We did it! We got past the darkness of the winter months and we made it to Spring.

Equinoxes are about equality: there is the same amount of light and dark in thr day, and that's what we tend to celebrate.

You may notice that I don't use the commonly-circulated word "Ostara."

This is because we ... don't do that. There is a notion that folks have called the period of time around Easter "Ostara" because of the Old Germanic goddess "Ēostre" and her festival being in the springtime.

This is not resonant with the traditions I learned and was raised with, so I don't use the word. It's not "wrong." It's not "bad." I just don't use it.

I did come up with celebrating Easter, because my mother was an Episcopalian and that's how they get down. Egg hunts, pastel dresses, redemption and sacrifice.

Below is a cute lil graphic about my own Spring Equinox practices and how I get down with honoring the Wheel of the Year in the Spring.

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...

The Contract You Never Knew You Signed

Hey you, We’ve been taught that good people put others first. That love means showing up, giving, anticipating needs—sometimes before they’re even spoken. But there’s a catch. When you constantly go above and beyond for others, it’s easy to expect they’ll do the same for you. And when they don’t? You feel disappointed, hurt, even resentful. 😤💔 In my 20s, I did this over and over again—assuming ...
