Summary
The spring equinox marks the pivot from the dark to the light half of the year. March means Daylight Saving’s Time, cherry blossoms, more plans with friends, new inspiration at work, and an increase in energy as our bodies naturally align with the rhythm of the seasons. If nature waits until the spring equinox to start waking up and taking action, I think we should too. That’s why I planned my 2025 goals to kick in only after a cozy, slow start to the year. It simply feels more natural to increase productivity only after the natural world does.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome. My name is Mary and I'm the host of Prologs, a lifestyle podcast where each episode is like a digital |
| 0:21.2 | journal entry detailing whatever it is I'm going through in life at the moment. I talk about my |
| 0:26.0 | journey with mental health, relationships, wellness, beauty, personal development, and more. |
| 0:31.2 | So join me every Monday morning for a reminder that we're all still figuring out life for the |
| 0:35.8 | first time and you are still in the beginning of your personal story. |
| 0:39.9 | Hello and welcome back and welcome to spring. You did it, you made it, you got through |
| 0:45.3 | another winter. Welcome spring. I'm recording this on the first day of spring and I'm actually |
| 0:50.0 | recording from my parents' house in Gloucester, Virginia, because I'm home right now. I traveled |
| 0:55.7 | home last Monday when the spring 2025 trend report episode came out. If you haven't listened to that yet, |
| 1:02.2 | give it a listen. That was my travel day. It was also St. Patrick's Day. And I'm not sure if it was a really |
| 1:08.3 | lucky travel day or an unlucky travel day because everything |
| 1:11.6 | ended up working out in the end for the most part, but everything also was the most complicated |
| 1:16.7 | that it could be. Let me explain. So first of all, we get to the airport in Edinburgh and we're checking |
| 1:23.6 | in our bags and the check-in agent says, by the way, did you know that you have to |
| 1:27.9 | change airports during your layover? |
| 1:30.1 | Typically, when we fly to the East Coast, we always connect through Heathrow. |
| 1:33.2 | So we'll fly Edinburgh to Heathrow, Heathrow to Dulles. |
| 1:35.9 | When I was booking these flights, I had selected a flight that landed in Baltimore instead of |
| 1:40.4 | at Dulles because it was a thousand pounds cheaper for the entire trip. |
| 1:48.4 | And so I was just so focused on it being a thousand pounds cheaper and it landing in Baltimore. |
| 1:52.1 | And Matt and I were figuring out, okay, like can we rent a car in Baltimore and drive? Like figuring out those logistics that it never even occurred to me to check that the connection |
| 1:57.0 | would be through the same airport because I have just never heard of having to change airports |
