What Are You Growing Right Now?
A reflection on blooming slowly, tending gently, and planting seeds with intention.
As the world rushes into summer, we’re slowing down and asking a softer question: What are you growing right now?
A reflection on blooming slowly, tending gently, and planting seeds with intention.
It’s May, and everywhere you look, things are blooming—literally and metaphorically. Your feed is full of fresh starts, fitness challenges, garden updates, and summer countdowns. Everyone seems to be flourishing.
But here’s the truth: blooming doesn’t always look like that. Sometimes, blooming means boundaries. Sometimes it means walking away. Sometimes it means giving yourself more water and less pressure.
In preparation for our upcoming In Full Bloom event, we’ve been asking ourselves—and our friends—this question: What seeds are you planting in your life right now? And the answers were beautiful—not because they were flashy or impressive, but because they were honest. Seeds of rest. Seeds of saying no. Seeds of reinvention, recovery, reconnection. Quiet seeds, steady seeds.
We’re calling this season Nourish, Peach, and for good reason. It’s not about performing your growth or hitting a milestone. It’s about taking your energy back from the places it’s been leaking. It’s about noticing where you’re pouring water—and asking if it’s still worth watering.
So, let’s talk about it.
Not Everything Has to Bloom at Once
There’s a lie we’ve all been sold that says if you’re not visibly thriving, you’re failing. That if you don’t have a summer body or a morning routine or a six-figure savings plan by June, you’re behind.
But nature doesn’t bloom all at once. Some things are still seeds. Some are just breaking the surface. Some are roots, quietly growing strength underground.
Give yourself permission to grow at your pace. You’re not late. You’re right on time for your timeline.
What Are You Watering?
Your energy is precious. So where is it going right now?
To comparison? To old expectations? To people who don’t pour back into you?
Or is it going toward something new—something soft and slow, like boundaries, or bold, like self-trust? Are you watering your creativity? Your nervous system? Your friendships that feel like exhaling?
Not every day has to be a harvest. Some days, the win is just noticing what’s asking for nourishment.
Building Your Garden
There’s no rulebook for how to grow, but there are a few good questions:
What do I want to feel more of this season?
What do I need to prune, release, or stop apologizing for?
What rituals or relationships feel like good soil?
You don’t have to grow everything. You don’t have to grow for anyone else. You’re allowed to bloom quietly, or later, or differently.
Your garden, your rules.
One Last Thing
If no one’s told you this yet this year: You’re doing a beautiful job with what you have. You’re allowed to pause. You’re allowed to stop pouring into what no longer grows you.
This season is about nourishment, not noise. We’ll be exploring more of these gentle rituals and reflective practices inside our upcoming membership tiers, The Grove and The Orchard. But for now, just start here:
What are you growing right now?
Seriously—write it down. Whisper it to yourself. Plant it somewhere safe.
We’ll be here, watering right beside you.
