Soft, Earthen Futures

Welcome to the Soft Earthen Futures podcast, previously called the Inner Circle Podcast. New era, new podcast name.

About the Episode:

So many creatives and entrepreneurs treat Autumn like extended Summer. A time to launch, to scale, to keep the momentum going. But Autumn is not here to help you maintain your pace. She's not asking you to stay consistent, to keep all the plates spinning, or to preserve the facade that everything is working perfectly.

Autumn is the season of descent. She is the season of severance.

She asks you to look around at what is changing, what is dying, what is composting back into the earth and to trust that this dying is not failure. It is a reconfiguration of the soul.
