Hi there. Thanks for listening to the Sister Circle podcast. My name is Crystal Evans-Hurst,

and I'm your host. Thanks for tuning in to another episode of the podcast that's designed to help you

live your life well and to make it a life you love. Listen, you get to choose.

Hey there, I'm Crystal Evanshurst and I'm glad you're joining me. Let's talk about

maximizing your summer. Yes, I know. The summer is coming to a close, but this is the most

important time of the summer for you to prepare for the weeks and months that are coming. So how do you have a great end to your year? You maximize the end of your summer to get ready for the fall. Let's jump in and talk about that today.

What have you put off doing all summer long?

And here we are about to wrap up the summer and head into the fall of 2025 and you still haven't done it.

Where are you like, oh my goodness, is the fall already here?

I'm not ready.

What have you not had the opportunity to finish or to begin and to wrap up well?

It is that time of year, y'all, where the year is not over, but the summer is ending and the fall is coming. And if you're anything like me, when the fall comes, it demands

a return to routine and rhythm and systems. And the fall can start, sometimes like the beginning

of a year can where at the beginning of a new calendar year, I'm like, oh my gosh, the year started and I'm behind.

Because so many things begin in the fall school or church rhythms or Bible study groups or when the seasons change, other things begin.

And many times we start the fall the same way.

Oh, my goodness, am I already back here?

Am I ready?

How am I starting on my left foot and not feeling like I'm in a good pacing?

The fall is the mark of rhythms in your life.

But to prepare for the fall rhythms, you want to use the end of your summer to do that.

And if you're already thinking, oh, my word, I cannot believe the end of the summer is almost here.
