[040] Navigating Astrology and Self-Regulation in Unprecedented Times

With Madelin Adena Smith Mandy shares updates on launching the Wildly Intentional YouTube channel and releasing the Wild and Rooted Spring Journal and Planner for kids, then sits down with Madelin, an astrologer, channeler, and medium with 20 years of study, to discuss major collective astrological shifts leading into 2026. Madelin explains how outer-planet movements (Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) correlate with historic paradigm changes and argues 2026 will intensify tensions between individualism and the collective, amplified by media, AI, war, and misinformation—making personal clarity, nervous-system regulation, and local action essential.Why it matters:In a destabilized, attention-hijacking system, reclaiming free will means pulling your power back from constant reactivity and choosing sustainable, grounded ways to care for yourself, your family, and your community. The episode frames wellbeing, discernment, and intentional engagement as the path to living differently—and staying human—through transformative times.[THIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF AN A.I.
