At one of our women’s circles celebrating Lammas in the Wheel of the Year, we each reflected on the path from Imbolc (6 months ago) to now.
From seeds to fruit, from hope to harvest.
We asked: What has bloomed in our lives? What are we harvesting?
As we shared our reflections, something unexpected stood out to me.
Most women didn't talk about business goals, creative projects, or personal accomplishments.
They talked about their children.
For just a moment, I noticed the quiet whisper of an old story inside myself:
"That doesn't count."
"That's not your fruit."
"You should have something of your own to show."
But when I imagined my grandmothers answering the same question, I realized they almost certainly would have spoken about their families, their communities, and the people they had helped nurture into fuller Life.
In this episode, I explore why I believe the fruit of our fruit is still our fruit, what modern culture often gets wrong about success and fulfillment, and why witnessing another person's flourishing may be one of the deepest forms of harvest we experience.
In this episode, we'll explore:
- Why Lammas invites us to reflect on what has ripened since Imbolc
- The old story that says only individual achievement counts
- What our grandmothers might have considered a successful harvest
- The difference between rooted devotion and unhealthy enmeshment
- Why another person's blooming can become part of our own
- A more relational understanding of success, purpose, and the Seasons of Life
