Reflection on Stacked September

The term 'Stacked September' was created to encapsulate the busy nature of September, reflecting on both personal growth and challenges compared to the previous year. The speaker feels that this year's September has been easier, attributing this to increased awareness and preparedness for the busy schedule, which includes fundraising for St. Jude and preparing products for the holiday season. Unlike last year, where stress levels were high due to being away for a substantial portion of the month, this time is characterized by a clearer mindset. The understanding that September tends to fill up quickly has allowed for better mental preparation.
