E29. When the Next Season Starts to Become Clear (opens the original)
Read excerpt
New Series: Becoming a Modern-Day Matriarch Sometimes clarity doesn’t arrive as an answer. Sometimes it arrives as a recognition: Oh. I think I see what has been taking shape here. I see hints and am beginning to make sense of it all. As A Birth Season comes to a close , Janell reflects on an unexpected realization: two book projects she has been developing for years— Moving Day and Modern-Day Matriarchs —are no longer simply ideas she is writing about. She is living them. In this tender transit
E28. How Do I Bless An Unfinished Story? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"May all that is unforgiven in you Be released. May your fears yield Their deepest tranquillities. May all that is unlived in you blossom into a future Graced with love." John O'Donohue, To Bless the Space Between Us What if a season can be complete even when the story isn’t?

E26. What Are You Ready To Leave Behind? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Not everything that carried you through one season is meant to come with you into the next. In Episode 26 of The Heartlifter Way , we continue our Five Gentle Conversations from “A Birth Season” by exploring the sacred practice of release. Like the acorn that nourishes the emerging oak until its work is complete, some patterns, expectations, roles, and burdens may have served a purpose—and now be ready to be released. Today, we gently ask: What has completed its work in your life—and what are yo
E25. Who are You Becoming in This Season? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if the most important outcome of a season of discernment isn’t the answer you receive, but the person you are becoming? In Day Two of our Five-Day Closing of A Birth Season , we move from remembering to receiving —pausing to recognize what these 90 days have been quietly forming within us. Today, we practice beholding . To behold means to look at something with sustained, attentive regard—to truly see it rather than glance at it and move on. Beholding carries a sense of wonder and reverence
