Hey there igniters,
This past month felt like running a marathon barefoot on gravel. Every step hurt, but each one carried me closer to something steadier. September had me on my knees, friends. The chaos, the deadlines, the endless lists… sometime it feels like life is a storm that doesn’t let up. October, though? That’s the exhale. It’s the part where you finally get to kick off your shoes, feel the earth, and realize you survived. Storms pass, and embers remain.
October always feels like the reset button we didn’t know we needed. The world slows just enough for us to breathe again, to look at our to-dos not as weights but as sparks, tiny flames waiting for our attention to fan them into something more.
I’ve been thinking about how often we try to blaze through life like a wildfire… fast, dramatic, impossible to contain. But maybe what we really need is the slow burn of embers: steady, glowing, long-lasting. That’s the kind of fire that carries you through.
So this week, I’m letting go of urgency and I’m leaning into intention. I’m choosing rhythm over rush, warmth over blaze. Maybe you need that too.
When everything screams for your energy, remember: you’re the one holding the match. Light what matters. Let the rest wait in the dark.

Productivity Tip of the Week
Guard Your Golden Hour.
Before the world demands your attention, gift yourself one sacred hour. No emails. No social media. Just your most important work, your art, your planning; whatever feeds your fire. Protect that time like it’s holy, because it is.
What’s Happening Next
We have a lot of exciting things planned for October, especially considering this month always brings fresh energy into my soul. Here’s your first peek at what’s coming:
