When September Speeds Up, Here’s How I Slow Down and Realign
The month everything changes… again.
I love September. The cooler air, the fresh notebooks, the return to structure.
But every year, no matter how excited I am, the truth hits fast:
Structure without intention becomes chaos.
As a neurodivergent, highly sensitive adult—and a caregiver running a household and a business—I used to get swallowed by the speed of this season.
The calendar filled overnight.
My kids’ emotional transitions spilled into my workday.
I lost hours to reacting instead of responding.
Maybe you’ve felt it too?
The shift: from survival to intentional rhythm.
Five years ago, I started practicing what I now guide inside The Observatory. It changed everything.
I began:
Listening to what I need, not what I should do
Noticing the early signs of stress and disorganization
Building a structure around executive function and energetic balance, not just efficiency
Modeling this rhythm so my kids could build it for themselves
Now, I’m not perfect. But I feel grounded. I feel clear. I sleep well knowing I’m doing my best.
And most importantly—I’ve stopped “shoulding” on myself.
Why this month matters more than you think.
September isn’t just a new school year or work routine.
It’s the emotional starting point of the rest of your fall.
September is your chance to realign your external world.
October is when your internal world asks for attention.
If you prepare both, you create resilience for the intensity of November and December.
And if you’ve never experienced a September that feels calm, centered, or on your terms—this is your moment to start.
This is how I help.
Inside The Observatory, we guide this realignment in real time, with body-based practices that are simple, powerful, and accessible—especially for sensitive, deep-processing individuals.
Together, we:
Decompress the pressure
Recalibrate your rhythm
Create clarity from the inside out
Whether you join this month’s live session or simply take 10 minutes to reflect, know this:
You are not behind. You are right on time.
And yes—peace this fall is within reach.
