What is Spring Asking of You?

Every year, around this time, I notice something happening in the women around me — and honestly, in myself too. There's this pull. Like the world is suddenly moving faster, blooming louder, doing more, and somewhere inside we're supposed to match that energy.

But can I be honest with you? Spring isn't asking you to speed up.

I think what spring is actually asking — if we slow down enough to listen — is something much quieter. It's asking: what's ready to come through you now?

That's a very different question.

The Myth of the Big Burst

We've been sold this idea that spring is about explosion — everything blooming all at once, overnight. And sure, that's what it looks like on the surface. But underneath? The roots have been working since January. The tree didn't just decide to bloom on a Tuesday.

You've been doing the same thing, even if it hasn't felt like it. Those quiet months of sitting with yourself, of showing up to circle, of sipping your tea in the early morning before the house wakes up — that was the root work. That was everything.

Spring just makes it visible.

What Circle Teaches Us About This Season

One of the things I love most about gathering in circle is how it mirrors the natural world. We don't rush each other. We hold space for the woman who is still in her winter while another is bursting into bloom. There's no competition, no comparison — just witness.

If you've been in circle with us, you know that feeling. That moment when you realize you're allowed to be exactly where you are, and somehow, that permission is what lets you move.

I've watched women come into circle barely able to speak what they're carrying, and leave with something cracked open in the best possible way. Not because we fixed anything. Because they felt held.

That's what this season can be for you too — if you let it.

A Simple Invitation

This week, I want to invite you to step outside — even just for five minutes — and just... notice. What's coming up from the ground? What's unfurling? And then ask yourself the same question inward.

What in me is ready to emerge?

You don't have to have an answer. Just asking is enough. That's how spring begins — not with a bang, but with a question held softly in both hands.
