Ep 7: Urgency is a Myth Hearth & Heather

    • Home & Garden

Our favorite season is beckoning, and we’re talking about the slow-down of the year. As we get excited about tea, sweaters, golden light, and liminal spaces, we also dig into the ways that social media can create a false sense of urgency, preventing us from integrating our experiences in deeper ways. Of course, no episode of Hearth & Heather is complete without a lot of laughing, so we also talk about our squash preferences, and a book that was so good we got mad.

Bonus Download: Along with this episode, we’re posting a PDF of a Winter Solstice Spell Jar ritual that we mentioned in Episode 5.
