This one’s personal. In this episode, I open up about noticing the quiet return of some old patterns—impulse spending, negative self-talk, and that familiar tug toward quick fixes. I’ve been trying to catch myself before I slip too far, and this conversation is my way of staying present with it. Growth doesn’t always look graceful, and sometimes the most honest thing we can do is admit when we’re struggling.

🌿 Grapevine Question: What signs do you notice when you’re slipping back into old patterns? How do you bring yourself back to center?

🌿 The Pause That Grew Me

Hey y’all, I’m Lex—welcome back into the garden.

This episode is all about the pause. Why I stepped away. What I learned in the time away. And why now feels like the right moment to return.

We’ll get into the real about growth that’s not always pretty or planned. I’ll share my Blooms & Thorns, answer why I needed to take a step back, and what helped me press play again. Plus, you’ll hear some of your voice notes and reflections on self-doubt in the Grapevine.

If you’ve ever put something you care about on pause—or struggled with picking it back up—this one’s for you.

🌱 Grapevine Prompt:

Is there something in your life you’ve paused? What’s your first step to returning?
