Check In

As the days get shorter and the sun sets earlier, we’re reminded of the changing seasons. And for those who fell back with this past weekend’s Daylight Savings Time, it’s more than just the changing seasons impacting our routine—it’s the change of the clocks, externally and internally.

With this alteration in our daily rhythm, it’s an opportune moment to pause and consider how this transition might affect us personally.
