**INTERNAL AFFAIRS: Episode Two 🕵️‍♀️**

The investigation into Pancreas has taken an unexpected turn.

Turns out, Pancreas may not be the only one working across departments.

Liver came in with information.

Liver should probably have kept its mouth shut. 😂

Because this is the thing about the body: we like to divide it into neat little systems when we’re learning about it.

Digestive system.
Endocrine system.
Nervous system.
Cardiovascular system.

Very organized.

The body itself did not receive this organizational chart.

Everything overlaps. Everything communicates. And apparently everyone has a side hustle.

Internal Affairs would now just like **ONE organ with ONE straightforward job.**

Luckily, the kidneys have arrived.

They’re filters.

Right?
..right? 👀

**To be continued.**

“It’s just hormones.”

Except those hormones have their hands in a surprising amount of what happens in our bodies. Sleep. Mood. Temperature. Memory. Muscles and joints. Menstrual cycles. Pelvic health. Our nervous system. Even how we see ourselves as we move through this stage of life.

Metaphysical Menopause is an afternoon of learning, conversation, curiosity and a little bit of Crone wisdom. We’ll look at what’s happening physically, connect some of those seemingly random dots, talk about the emotional and metaphysical side of this transition—and probably laugh quite a bit along the way.

This is the same workshop I’ve offered previously, so if you missed it before, here’s another chance to join us. And if you know someone who keeps saying, “What the hell is happening to me?” please send this her way. ❤️

October 17 | 12–3 PM

Limited to 9 participants

Cash can be paid the day of the workshop, or e-transfer to [email protected].

Learn. Laugh. Connect.

Maybe one of the nicest things we can do for each other is stop expecting everyone to be normal in exactly the same way.

We all have our quirks. Our routines. Our sensitivities. Our weird little interests. Things that make perfect sense to us and absolutely no sense to anyone else.

And somehow, we still manage to find each other.

Community doesn’t require sameness.

There should be room at the table for the person who talks too much when they’re excited, the person who barely talks at all, the person who needs to leave early, and the person who brought an interesting rock they would very much like you to see.

We’re all mad here.

THE CRONES ARE GATHERING — OCTOBER

October brings us into Crone Season, so this month’s Game of Crones will have a little Samhain magic woven into the Hearth.

We’ll be joined by special guest Negeen Aiden, Acupuncturist, who will chat with us about acupuncture, how it may support some of the symptoms and changes that can come with midlife, and answer some of our questions. She’ll also offer a small acupuncture demonstration for anyone who would like to experience a point for themselves — completely optional and with consent, of course. (No surprise needles at the Hearth. 😂)

We’ll also take some time to honour Samhain and the season of the Crone, followed by a guided meditation as we return once again to the Grove.

And, as always, there will be tea, conversation, laughter, shared wisdom, and whatever delightful tangents the Crones wander into.

Come as you are — even if you are just done with people.

Game of Crones
Otherworld Treasures October 15th 2026 6:30-8:30pm
Women approaching midlife, in perimenopause, menopause & beyond
Suggested Heart Donation: $15 - can be cash that evening or e-transfer to [email protected]

There is room for you at the Hearth.

There is something about autumn that makes me want to pull everything a little closer.

Warmer food. Earlier evenings. Tea. Blankets. Familiar routines. More time at home.

But sometimes we notice those changes in ourselves and immediately think we should be doing something about them.

Why am I more tired?
Why don’t I have the same energy?
Why do I suddenly want to stay home?

Maybe nothing is wrong.

We change with our environment. The light changes. The temperature changes. Our schedules and routines change. It makes sense that what feels good to us might change too.

Self-care doesn’t have to be a routine you perfect and then follow forever.

It’s paying attention.

What do I need now?

And being willing to let the answer be different than it was a few months ago.

Animals have a funny way of reminding us about some of the things we’re very good at overcomplicating.

Rest when you’re tired.

Play when the opportunity presents itself.

Enjoy the patch of sunshine.

Be excited when someone you love comes home.

And perhaps most importantly, you don’t have to accomplish anything spectacular today to be worthy of love and a place on the couch.

Happy World Animal Day to the furry, feathered, scaled and otherwise assorted creatures who make our lives a little better.

Some people appreciate animals.

Some people would bring home a goose if their wife stopped supervising them. 🪿

October has arrived.

The month when the trees become wildly dramatic, every beverage tastes better in a mug, and going outside somehow results in bringing home sticks, leaves and other things that apparently needed to live in the house.

This is the part of autumn I love.

The slowing down.
The cooler air.
The colours.
The urge to make soup.
The completely reasonable increase in candle usage.

And somewhere underneath all of it, that little seasonal feeling that things are shifting.

So, hello October.

Come on in.

We’ve got tea.

September, you were a little bit all over the place.

There was back-to-school nostalgia despite no longer having my kid to send back to school, the strangely double-edged realization that your kid is out there building a life and is actually okay, and my annual discovery that September apparently no longer means waiting for all the new TV shows to premiere.

We harvested the garden like proud fishermen.
Started binge-watching something that wasn’t even on the list.
Got absolutely annihilated by mosquitoes and required precisely one incident to reconsider our choices.
Jenn continued her campaign to acquire a goose.
No geese were acquired.
And an alarming amount of creative energy was generated.

Somewhere in there, summer quietly started handing things over to fall.

Not a bad month.

A slightly weird one.

But those tend to be my favourite kind. ❤️

See you in October.
