As we begin our exploration of The Pumpkin Spice Café, let us reflect on the theme of embracing change. When Jeanie inherits her aunt’s beloved café, she is ushered into a world unfamiliar yet full of possibility. How do you think stepping out of her comfort zone will shape her character, and have you ever experienced a similar moment of unexpected change? How did it shape your journey?

Jeanie’s journey in The Pumpkin Spice Café illustrates how stepping out of one’s comfort zone can lead to unexpected growth. By taking on the café, she not only honors her aunt’s legacy but also begins to discover her own strengths. I’ve found that moments of change—though daunting—often open doors to new opportunities and self-discovery. When I made the sudden decision to move to Arizona just weeks after graduating college, I had no choice but to fully embrace change and step far outside my comfort zone. This experience has allowed me to grow tremendously as an individual, fostering a deep appreciation for independence—something I once struggled with but now find empowering.
