I love how you’ve reframed “Spooky Season” as “Shadow Season.” That feels so much more aligned with the depth of this time of year. For me, Scorpio Season really is nature’s way of inviting us to slow down, dig deep, and let go of anything that no longer serves who we’re becoming. The HDC has been instrumental in allowing us the space to BE who we have become more and less of who we have been shedding.
This season, I’m working on letting go of the fear that I won’t make enough to support myself and family with the new business structure. It feels challenging but also empowering to see those shadows as part of my personal growth. In embracing my shadows instead of shunning them—the integration has proven beneficial for my stress levels to say the least. Journaling has been a huge part of that for me, so I’m excited to explore your prompts. I’m especially drawn to the idea of discovering who we are without all the things we’ve held onto out of habit or fear as with each step in her shoes, I feel more and more empowered and free. Thank you for this beautiful invitation to dive deeper.
I’m curious—what’s been the most surprising or transformative insight for you during Scorpio Season?
Thank you so much for reading this, Kristie, and I'm glad it spoke to you. I agree, HDC has been huge in this process!
I'm also facing down some financial fears and may be placing a false sense of urgency on myself to earn money while the kiddos are so young. I'm trying to embrace this as my true experimentation phase, where I can just build my community and try new things, without thinking about needing a certain ROI on everything I do. It's hard though because that's how I'm used to measuring the worthiness of my work.
It's probably also not surprising that Scorpio season is bringing up a lot for me right now around motherhood and the kind of mother I want to be. All sorts of shadows have come up for me while I learn to navigate life with a toddler AND a baby. It's a lot, and I am embarrassed by how easily I get frustrated. I admittedly have what they call "mom rage" at times, and I'm trying to understand where that's coming from and how to ease it. I don't want to feel so out of control of my emotions, but I also know this is part of the postpartum experience. In some ways, I'm handling it well, and in others, not so much.
I'd love to hear if anything interesting comes up for you with the journal prompts. We just have a little bit longer to navigate this season...and make the most of it because it is important work, even if uncomfortable (I have to remind myself of this)!
