If you’ve ever felt deeply intuitive, introverted, easily overwhelmed by the world, or most alive in the quiet moments of life… there’s a good chance you carry strong Water element energy.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to recognize a Water-dominant personality
• Why Waters need more rest, reflection, and solitude
• Common imbalances (and how to support them)
• How Water energy shows up in the body, emotions, work, and home
• Ways to rebalance and stabilize Water energy—especially in winter
• What it means if you’re in a Water season vs. being a Water type

•

This week, I’m sharing something new—a guided meditation on gratitude for the home. Inspired by Thanksgiving week’s themes of gratitude, today’s episode invites you to reconnect with the space that holds all of you: your home.

We so often talk about gratitude for people, opportunities, or big moments, but rarely do we pause to acknowledge the quiet devotion of the place that shelters us, supports us, and breathes alongside us.

In this short guided meditation, we explore:

• How your home protects and holds you—much like the body does
• The modern conveniences we rarely think about
• Daily rituals and rhythms that ground you
• Sensory comforts that nourish you
• The emotional and spiritual layers of home
• Tiny overlooked blessings woven into every room

This is a beautiful practice anytime you want to feel more anchored, supported, and connected to yourself and your home.

Find a cozy spot to snuggle up, slow down, and let yourself return home.

This week, we’re gathering around the table—literally. Whether your dining room is set for the holidays or doubling as your home office, this episode invites you to reconnect with this often misused space.

Sara shares how to transform your dining room into a space that nourishes connection, supports digestion, and reflects the energy of the season. You’ll learn how to decorate using the Five Elements, why mindful meals matter, and how your dining space can even become a manifestation tool for creativity and completion.

You’ll hear about:

• Using your dining room as a ritual of connection and presence
• Decorating with the Wood and Earth elements for balance and warmth
• Color and form tips to anchor energy and encourage conversation
• Small seasonal touches that bring life to your table
• Why your dining room is also a powerful place to create and manifest

Do you wish that you had more supportive relationships?

In this episode, Sara explores how the energy of your home can help you attract the right people, opportunities, and guidance when you need it most. Drawing from the Helpful People and Travel area of the Feng Shui Bagua map, she shares how to shift your surroundings to invite more support—both seen and unseen—into your life.

You’ll learn how to identify where this energy lives in your home, how to clear what’s blocking it, and how to bring in simple touches that open space for mentorship, collaboration, and divine timing.

The Metal Element teaches us one of life’s hardest lessons: how to let go. In this episode, Sara Ann explores the traits, strengths, and struggles of the Metal personality type—those who value precision, structure, and control, but often battle perfectionism and emotional detachment.

You’ll learn how the Metal element shows up in your personality, relationships, and even your body—and how learning to soften and surrender can restore balance to your mind, emotions, and home.

Ever wonder why one week you feel full of energy and the next you can’t seem to find your rhythm? It’s not that you’re failing—it’s that you might be out of sync with the natural season of your life.

In this episode, Sara reads an excerpt from her new book Room for Home: A Woman’s Guide to Work-Life Balance, Beginning with Your Space. She'll help you discover why chasing balance never works, and how flowing with the seasons (and the Five Elements) can help you reclaim your time, energy, and sense of self.

In this episode, we explore the Earth Element—not just as a season, but as a personality archetype rooted in Chinese Five Element theory. If you’re the nurturer, the caregiver, the one who worries about everyone else before yourself… you might be Earth-dominant.

I’ll walk you through the key traits, emotional patterns, and even physical imbalances often experienced by Earth types—and how understanding this can support deeper balance across your life and home.

This episode also touches on:

• Why the Earth season is a vital (but often skipped) transition
• Signs you’re living out of sync with your element
• How to identify clutter patterns and emotional cycles common in Earth homes
• Simple shifts to ground yourself before Fall

Plus, the free workshop replay I just hosted—Seasonal Planning with the Five Elements—is available for a short time. It dives deeper into how to honor the Earth season through your home and schedule so you feel supported before moving forward again.
