The So cheers everyone. I am coming to you with a sweet little bumblebee cup. A hazelnut

latte should have made it iced if I knew this was the talk we

were having today. If I had taken a second to comprehend my schedule, I would have made it iced,

but it's a hot hazelnut latte nonetheless.

Today what I want to talk to you guys about is concepts of renewal, of growth, of transformation

as we come over the spring equinox.

This is such an opportunity. In fact, all of nature cycles, all of the different cycles that we go through on this planet are such beautiful

opportunities for us to harness the energy that nature naturally presents us.

And the spring equinox or spring at large or even if you are in the fall equinox, like you could take this

and turn it inside out, invert it, invert everything we're going to talk about today, or you can take it and still apply it in a fall-like sense, but this is the perfect time to really harness that idea of renewal, that idea of transformation,

to be aware of the transformations you just went through that you might not even be embodying or really paying mine to yet and also to come out of your state of hibernation to stretch and prep yourself for whatever the mountain is that you are climbing this year and we're all

climbing different mountains and these don't have to be Everest-sized mountains by the

way I don't want that to sound very toxic hustle culture like every single year we have to be conquering mountains but more

so that every single year whether we intend to or not whether you're just moving

with the flow of nature or you intend to actually

tackle a big goal or a big life milestone, we awaken from the depths of winter.

We warm ourselves up, we start taking action, we start putting in some work and we

arrive at the mid-year we arrive at summer solstice we arrive through the summer

really hitting our peak of the year and then we slowly

cascade down into this fall where we can harvest all of the things that we've put forth

into the year the time the energy the things that we focused on, and then hibernate back into a nice winter

where we replenish our resources again.
