The season that fascinates me is Curate.

Not because people fail to reach it.

Because many women reach it and never realize they have.

They built the savings.They paid off the house They raised the children.They spent decades making sure everyone else was okay.And yet they still make decisions as though one mistake will ruin everything.Their money has moved into Curate.Their mindset is still living in Secure.

Sometimes the hardest financial transition is not building wealth.

It is giving yourself permission to live differently once you have.They spent decades making sure everyone else was okay.And yet they still make decisions as though one mistake will ruin everything.

This so true, very well said.

I love this "seasons" mentality. I think it can also be applied to all areas of life, not just money, but productivity, energy, relationships, health, etc. Something people often don't talk about is that sometimes you revist "seasons" you thought you've surpassed. It's easy to feel like you've failed when this is the case. Take myself for example, I recently went from a season of abundance to a season of financial scarcity when I lost my job. But the beautiful thing to remember about seasons is that they are temporary and cyclical. This season will pass too, and another abundant season will be around the corner.

This is such a helpful way to think about it! And there is obvious progress to make through each season

Great article … I’m def in my curating season, but with real thought and intention. After 40+ years of moving through the seasons .. it’s a pleasure to reach the point where I can say no thank you more than yes please. You learn so much from those early days of saving/investing. ♥️

Thank you!! That's so true.

What a great way to look at things. I actually find Curate the hardest, because I feel like it's never-ending and I'm always striving for a "more" that doesn't exist and won't make me happier...

I've recently started looking at my life in seasons and it has completely changed the way I think about everything, health, wealth, happiness, it can all change like the seasons! Love this post!
