Dear Reader,

What if self-care could feel less like pressure and more like permission?
β
β So often, the messages we hear around health and well-being are full of judgment or βshoulds.β But true nourishment β for body, mind, and spirit β starts with compassion.Thatβs why my friend Stephanie Lewis of LiveWellFlow created Three Mindful Moments β a free set of brief guided meditations that meets you where you are. Each practice is under five minutes, making it easy to weave them into your day without overwhelm.
Hereβs what youβll experience:
β π± A Mini Body Scan to release tension and ground yourself in your body with care and respect.
β π± A Mini Morning Intention to begin your day with clarity and gentle purpose.
β π± A Mini Self-Compassion Practice to quiet the inner critic and nurture kindness toward yourself.These meditations arenβt about striving for perfection β theyβre about creating small, meaningful pauses that remind you of your worth and wholeness. If youβve been longing for accessible, body-affirming ways to find balance and calm, this is a beautiful place to begin.π±
π Why do we love the crunch of chips, the pop of bubble wrap, and wobbly glassware? This week's 5-senses edition explores our fascinating relationship with imperfection and noise. Read more ββ
Don't let guava's humble, green exterior fool youβthis tropical fruit packs serious flavor complexity. With flesh that ranges from white to deep pink, guavas offer a sweet-tart taste that's been described as a cross between strawberry and pear, with floral notes that linger on the palate.
Eat them fresh (yes, seeds and all), blend them into smoothies, or simmer them down into jams and sauces. They're particularly beloved in Latin American and Southeast Asian cuisines, where they appear in everything from pastries to savory chutneys.
Nutritionally, guavas deliver more vitamin C than oranges and provide a good dose of fiber. Look for fruits that yield slightly to pressure and have that telltale sweet scent.
Ever wonder why no matter what you do, you find that the same overwhelm keeps coming back? β Maybe youβve tried all the productivity tips and tested out the βperfectβ morning routines, but still day after day you find yourself utterly and completely drained. These magic pills seem to work for everyone else (at least thatβs what it feels like watching influencers) but try as you might, it doesnβt work for you. β Let me explain. We get so focused on the day to day pressures of doing the dishes, cleaning up after kids or trying to keep up with laundry (understandable)β¦that we forget to schedule intentional time to set up the systems that will help us work less while also having less stress in our homes and our lives.β ββ Which is why, during the Fall Into Fun Bundle (happening September 22-26, 2025) Iβm giving away my Elegant Eats: a Step-by-Step Dinner Party Guide (a $27 value) thatβs going to walk you through how to easily entertain guests this holiday season to save you time and take away exhausting decision-making.β β
