It’s (almost) a new month (YAY), and today’s episode is all about . . . THE MONTH! I share my love for the 12 natural cutpoints in our year and discuss ways I love to mark the start of a new month.
This episode includes monthly goal setting tactics, and how the month slots into the Nested Goals framework. I also advocate for planning in FUN on a monthly level and reveals my own practical monthly rituals.
PS: My favorite monthly screen backgrounds are at The Everygirl! Lots of pumpkins + beautiful autumn leaves.

Hi Sarah, excited to listen to this episode and then do my October planning. Just wanted to share that I’ve been looking for a new planner option for 2025, and came across Curation by Saint Belford. I went back into your archives to listen to your review, and realised they’ve made so many improvements since you reviewed them in 2021 – might be worth doing a little update. Their weekly pre-plan page is now so functional (with dot grid instead of blank space and not so prescriptive on the sections), they have more multi-purpose lined pages etc. in 2021 they weren’t an option for me, but the 2025 planner is a serious contender. Plus they now have a US warehouse I believe.
That is great to know!!! I especially love it when brands iterate with user feedback!! I’m not sure I will review this year but perhaps will put on 2025 docket!
That picture of G!!!! Too cute!!
