This afternoon, we're chatting about:

• Why “spooky season” can feel emotionally heavy

• Support personalized for you

Small Rituals to Ground You During Spooky Season

Something happens around this time of year: when the nights creep in earlier, the air turns sharper, and everything starts to quiet down. For some, it’s comforting. For others, it can feel like the world is closing in a little. The mix of nostalgia, change, and sensory overload (yes, even all the orange) can stir up a subtle kind of unease.

Try noticing where your energy naturally dips and build softness around it. Replace doomscrolling with something tactile like lighting a candle, folding laundry, or walking under streetlights at dusk. If the “spooky season” energy feels more overwhelming than fun, that’s your cue to slow down. This is your reminder that you’re allowed to feel everything that comes with the changing season, and to take care of your mind while you do.
