    My autumn notebook: is September the new January? | SOLO

    In this solo episode of The AHA! Moment Podcast, Angelina shares why she’s treating September as the real new year. After swapping lobster rolls for soups and tan lines for sweaters, she’s embracing fall in New England as the season to reset, cut what isn’t working, and close out 2025 strong.
