This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt the weight of tax season, the fog of spring allergies, or the nagging thought of “I should be doing more”—whether in health, sustainability, or just life in general.

In this April episode of The Happily Living Podcast, we explore the natural rhythm of the season—from the societal rush of tax deadlines to the energetic invitation of spring’s renewal—and offers a refreshing perspective on how nature calls us not to hustle harder, but to realign, refocus, and reconnect.

We talk about how the world around us—especially in spring—encourages restoration over restriction. It's a time to soften, to listen, and to allow ourselves space. I share personal reflections on how mindset shapes our experience of stress, finances, and wellbeing, and do my best to offer practical, joyful ways to embrace change with compassion rather than self-punishment.

Tune in to learn how small, intentional choices—like what you plant, how you gather, and what you repurpose—can create ripples of positive impact in your life and the world around you.
