Finding Flow in the Harvest Moon Season

We often think of spring as the time for cleansing and renewal, but there’s something equally powerful about the harvest moon.

Growing up near the beach in Long Island, the end of summer always felt bittersweet. As a teenager working as an ocean lifeguard, I saw how much people clung to those last golden rays, not wanting summer to slip away. But secretly, I always loved September. Back-to-school season, fresh notebooks, sweater weather—it felt like a reset button.

We often think of spring as the season of cleansing and new beginnings, but there’s something just as powerful about the harvest moon. It’s a reminder that cycles close, that what we’ve been tending all year comes to fruition, and that there’s a season for slowing down. I loved going to the beach in autumn once the crowds had gone—pulling on a hoodie, feet in the sand, knowing the water was still carrying the warmth of summer beneath its surface.

Autumn, to me, has always meant cosy and reflective. It’s a season for looking inward and asking: What do I want more of in my life? Who do I want to become? Whether it’s financial, professional, or personal goals, autumn gives us structure. When we build a routine that supports our intentions, change starts to feel achievable.

I even met my now-husband in autumn—thanks to a simple intention I’d set to go on two dates per month. Nothing glamorous, nothing magical at first glance—but it worked. Sometimes the smallest, most practical commitments open the door to the most meaningful change.

So this week, I invite you to sit with the season and ask: How do I want to feel at the end of the week? What energy do I want to bring into my relationships, my work, my community? And most importantly—what do I want to attract, instead of carrying the stresses and anxieties that often accompany “back to work” life?

Make space for yourself. Whether it’s a class at GoodGood, a walk through the park, or a long bath at the end of the day—choose something that grounds you. Let it be yours. Let it help you settle into yourself, into this season, and into the intentions that will carry you into what’s next.

After all, the harvest moon isn’t just about endings. It’s about gathering, reflecting, and preparing for what comes after.

With warmth,
