Salt, Sage & Stardust

Acceptance is one of those words we think we understand until life asks us to live it. In this episode of Salt, Sage & Stardust, we explore one of the most misunderstood ideas in personal growth. Is acceptance about putting up with what diminishes us? Or is it about seeing reality clearly enough to choose our next step with wisdom? Together, we unpack the difference between acceptance and endurance, the power of discernment, and the quiet inner knowing that tells us when it's time to soften and when it's time to stand. Through the lenses of Salt (reality), Sage (discernment) and Stardust (remembrance), we invite you to ask a simple but powerful question: What am I being asked to accept ... and what am I no longer willing to accept?   Tarot Reflection – Queen of Pentacles Vicki closes the episode with the wisdom of the Queen of Pentacles, reminding us that true acceptance begins with being grounded in our own worth. From that place, we can meet life with compassion, clarity and the courage to honour what is true for us.   Every episode plants a seed. If you'd like to wander a little further with us, our Substack community is where we share reflections, stories and gentle reminders to help you continue walking your own path of remembrance. https://saltsageandstardust.substack.com/  We'd love to welcome you there. ✨See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Somewhere along the way, many of us quietly learned that being responsible meant being serious. We measured our worth by what we accomplished. Rest had to be earned. Play needed a purpose. Even personal growth became another task on an endless to-do list. But what if life was never asking us to carry quite so much? In this heartfelt and often laughter-filled conversation, Keryn and Vicki explore the surprising wisdom of lightening up, not by avoiding life's challenges, but by remembering that joy, curiosity and play are just as sacred as healing and reflection. Together they explore:✨ Why so many of us mistake seriousness for depth.✨ How responsibility can quietly become a burden we were never meant to carry.✨ Why not every experience needs to become a lesson.✨ The healing power of laughter, humour and childlike wonder.✨ How the Salt, Sage & Stardust perspectives invite us back into balance.✨ The unexpected guidance of the King of Swords tarot card. Perhaps growing wiser isn't about becoming more serious. Perhaps it's about remembering how to laugh again. So make yourself a cuppa, take a gentle breath, and join us for a conversation that just might remind you that life was always meant to include a little more joy. If this episode resonates with you, we'd love it if you'd follow the podcast and share it with someone who could use a little reminder to lighten their load. ✨ ✨ Tarot Reflection – King of Swords This week's card, the King of Swords, reminds us that wisdom isn't about carrying the weight of the world, it’s about discernment. Vicki explores how this archetype represents the structures, boundaries and inner authority that already exist to support us. Rather than believing everything is ours to fix, hold or solve, the King of Swords invites us to trust that not every burden belongs on our shoulders. When we release what isn't ours to carry, we create space for something equally important: joy, playfulness and the freedom to truly experience life. If this conversation resonated with you, we'd love to welcome you into our Salt, Sage & Stardust Substack community.

What if the doorway to presence isn't trying harder to "be present"… but simply paying attention? In this episode of Salt, Sage & Stardust, Keryn and Vicki explore the quiet art of noticing - how paying attention invites us back into ourselves, deepens our relationships, and opens us to the subtle whispers that life is constantly offering. Together they explore: Why attention is the doorway to the present moment. The difference between listening and truly hearing. How busyness can distract us from what matters most. Why wisdom is gathered through experience rather than information. The role curiosity plays in living a meaningful life. How paying attention transforms ordinary moments into something sacred. Throughout the conversation, Keryn and Vicki weave together the perspectives of Salt (grounding in the tangible world), Sage (the wisdom that emerges through experience), and Stardust (remaining open to wonder, mystery and possibility). As always, Vicki closes the episode by drawing a Tarot card. This week's card is the Two of Wands - a beautiful invitation to step beyond the familiar, trust your inner knowing, and meet life with curiosity rather than certainty. It reminds us that we don't need every answer before taking the next step; we simply need the willingness to pay attention to what is unfolding before us. Perhaps the greatest invitation of all is this: Stay curious. Because maybe life has been speaking to you all along. You simply needed to notice. If this conversation resonated with you, we'd love to welcome you into our Salt, Sage & Stardust Substack community.

What if balance isn't the goal? In this heartfelt conversation, Keryn Rose and Dr Vicki Haspel explore the idea that life isn't designed to be perfectly balanced, it's designed to move in rhythm. Drawing on nature, music, astrology, tarot and lived experience, they gently challenge the pressure to "have it all together" and instead invite you to notice the natural cycles already moving through your life. Together they explore: Why the pursuit of balance can leave us feeling rigid and disconnected. How living in rhythm creates greater peace, flexibility and self-trust. The relationship between intuition, resonance and life's natural seasons. Learning to honour rest, creativity and change without guilt. The difference between controlling life and participating in it. To close the episode, Vicki draws The World tarot card, a beautiful reflection of the conversation itself. Representing the completion of one cycle and the beginning of another, The World reminds us that life is a continual rhythm of renewal. Every ending holds the seed of a new beginning, inviting us to trust the wisdom of life's unfolding cycles. If you've been feeling exhausted, out of step or wondering why life won't fit neatly into your plans, this conversation offers a gentle reminder that perhaps nothing is wrong, you may simply be being invited into a different rhythm. Because life isn't asking us to be perfectly balanced. It's inviting us to remember how to dance. Topics: rhythm over balance, work-life balance, intuition, self-trust, personal growth, spirituality, astrology, tarot, emotional wellbeing, mindfulness, life transitions, harmony, energy healing, cycles of life, conscious living.

What if you don't need fixing? So much of personal growth begins with the quiet assumption that something is wrong with us. But what if the real invitation isn't to fix yourself ... but to understand yourself? In this episode, Keryn Rose and Dr Vicki Haspel explore how awareness creates space for choice, why understanding often comes before change, and how curiosity can soften self-judgement. Together they reflect on life's natural seasons, trusting your own timing, and the possibility that your patterns are not evidence of something broken—but signposts pointing you towards remembrance. As always, Vicki closes the episode with a tarot card. This week's Page of Swords arrives as the Winds of Change—a gentle reminder to rise above the noise, observe life with childlike curiosity, and trust that understanding unfolds in its own perfect time. Perhaps you were never broken. Perhaps you were never broken. Perhaps you were simply remembering who you have always been In this episode:• Understanding before change• Awareness as a doorway to transformation• Trusting your own seasons of growth• Curiosity over self-criticism If this conversation resonates with you, we'd love you to follow the podcast, leave a review, and share it with someone who might need this reminder today.

Beneath so many of our thoughts, fears, decisions and longings lies a question we rarely say out loud: Do I matter? In this heartfelt conversation, Keryn and Vicki explore one of the most universal human experiences — the desire to be seen, valued, acknowledged and to know that our presence in the world has meaning. Together they unpack the difference between external validation and inner worth, why success and recognition don't always answer the deeper question, and how life can quietly invite us to remember something we may have forgotten: You matter simply because you are here. Through personal stories, honest reflections and gentle wisdom, they explore: ✨ Why the need to matter sits beneath so many of life's questions✨ The difference between being acknowledged and feeling worthy✨ How old wounds can shape the way we see ourselves✨ The shift from asking "Do I matter?" to declaring "I matter."✨ Belonging, identity and the courage to redefine ourselves during times of change✨ What it means to remember who you are beneath the roles, titles and expectations✨ Why your existence alone has value As always, the conversation concludes with a beautiful tarot reflection, as the Ace of Cups reminds us that before we question our worth, we may simply need to replenish our hearts and allow ourselves to receive. If you've ever felt unseen, overlooked, uncertain of your place in the world, or found yourself wondering whether you're making a difference, this episode is a gentle invitation home to yourself. Because perhaps the answer has never been something you needed to earn.Perhaps it is simply something you are here to remember.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if change doesn't require you to burn everything down? In this episode of Salt, Sage & Stardust, Keryn Rose and Dr Vicki Haspels explore the surprising power of everyday doorways — the small choices, invitations, and moments that quietly shape the direction of our lives. Inspired by a simple decision to have coffee in a different café, this conversation wanders through intuition, curiosity, nervous system safety, trust, and the magic of seeing life through fresh eyes. Together they explore: ✨ Why small choices can create profound change✨ The relationship between familiarity and growth✨ How intuition often guides us before the mind catches up✨ The difference between forcing change and following an invitation✨ Why every day offers more possibilities than we realise Because sometimes the same life can feel completely different when you walk through a different doorway. A Guiding Message from the Queen of Swords  The Queen of Swords arrived with a clear message: Stop overthinking the doorway. You don't need all the answers before you begin. Sometimes clarity arrives after you've taken the first step. The doorway is open. Will you walk through? If this conversation resonates with you, we'd love you to follow the podcast and join our growing Substack community, where we continue exploring energy, intuition, everyday magic, and the many paths of remembrance. Until next time, may life surprise you with a doorway worth opening.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Who are we when an old version of ourselves no longer fits, but the next chapter has yet to reveal itself? In this episode, Keryn and Vicki explore the often uncomfortable, yet deeply transformative, space between stories. The seasons of life where identities shift, roles change, and certainty gives way to possibility. Together they reflect on the endings that shape us, the grief that can accompany change, and the wisdom that emerges when we stop trying to rush toward answers. Through personal stories and heartfelt conversation, they explore how presence, self-compassion, and trust can help us navigate life's transitions with greater ease. Through the lenses of Salt, Sage, and Stardust, they discuss: Why the space between stories can feel so disorienting• The grief of letting go of familiar identities and ways of being• The difference between seeking certainty and finding presence• How the body carries wisdom through times of transition• Heart-mind harmony and the role of self-compassion• Trusting life's unfolding, one step at a time• Viewing change as a process rather than a single event• Finding wonder, curiosity, and possibility in the unknown The conversation reminds us that endings and beginnings are rarely separate events. One story may be dissolving while another is quietly emerging. The invitation is not to figure everything out, but to remain in relationship with yourself as life unfolds. As always, the episode concludes with a Tarot reflection, where the Wheel of Fortune offers a timely reminder that life is always moving, changing, and inviting us forward. Whether you're navigating a career change, the end of a relationship, retirement, a personal awakening, or simply finding yourself between versions of who you've been, this episode is an invitation to trust the space between stories. Maybe the unknown is not empty. Perhaps it is preparing you for what comes next.

What happens when the labels we’ve carried for years begin to fall away? In this deeply reflective episode of Salt, Sage & Stardust, Keryn Rose and Dr Vicki Haspels explore the question: Who are you beyond the roles you perform? Together, they unravel the identities we so often attach ourselves to — mother, wife, healer, professional, caregiver, “the strong one,” “the sensible one” — and explore what happens when life changes, relationships shift, children grow up, careers evolve, or old versions of ourselves no longer fit. Through the three perspectives of Salt, Sage & Stardust, this conversation gently examines: How identity is shaped through family, culture, roles, and responsibility• Why the nervous system can struggle when familiar identities dissolve• The difference between a role you play and the essence of who you are• How grief, freedom, growth, and remembrance often arrive together• Why identities can become armour — and what happens when we loosen the grip• The invitation to reconnect with the part of yourself that existed before any label did Keryn and Vicki also reflect on:– motherhood and changing family dynamics– ageing and evolving life stages– self-worth and self-protection– soul remembrance and authentic expression– the fear of change and the beauty of becoming The episode closes with a powerful Seven of Cups tarot reflection — reminding us that identity is not a prison, but a vehicle through which we experience life. This is a conversation for anyone navigating transition, reinvention, grief, freedom, or the quiet question: “If I’m no longer who I used to be… who am I now?” You are not your labels.You are the presence beneath them.

There comes a moment in life when we realise the routines we created to “fix” ourselves are often the very things exhausting us. In this deeply honest and soul-stirring episode of Salt, Sage & Stardust, Keryn Rose and Dr Vicki Haspels explore the powerful difference between discipline that is rooted in shame and structure that is born from self-devotion. Together, they unpack the hidden ways many of us learned to associate discipline with punishment, productivity, performance, and worthiness — especially through generational expectations, rigid routines, and the pressure to constantly prove ourselves. But what if discipline was never meant to feel like a prison? What if true structure was actually an act of self-care? Through the three pillars of Salt, Sage & Stardust, Keryn and Vicki explore:• the nervous system’s response to pressure and control• the body’s wisdom in recognising what no longer fits• the difference between guidance and self-surveillance• the “psychic prisons” we unknowingly create through rigid routines• why shame keeps us disconnected from ourselves• the importance of flexibility, compassion, and self-trust• returning to joy, wholeness, and the freedom to be fully ourselves This conversation is a gentle but powerful reminder that healing is not about becoming someone else. It is about remembering who you already are. And perhaps true discipline is not punishment at all…Perhaps it is devotion to the life you came here to live. This episode also includes a beautiful Tarot reflection on The Chariot card, a symbol of emotional balance, self-awareness, direction, and learning to move through life guided by inner truth rather than external pressure. If you have ever struggled with routine, burnout, perfectionism, guilt, procrastination, or the feeling that you must earn your worth through productivity, this episode is for you. You are not broken.You are simply being invited to create a life that fits your soul. If this conversation resonated with you, we would love to invite you into our Salt, Sage & Stardust Substack community - a space for deeper conversations, shared wisdom, and gentle reminders that you are never walking this path alone.

Growth is beautiful, and necessary, but it is rarely loud. Sometimes becoming asks us to step away from what was familiar. Relationships shift. Old identities fall away. The life that once felt comfortable no longer fits and in that in-between space, loneliness can arrive. In this heartfelt episode, Keryn Rose and Dr. Vicki Haspels explore the sacred discomfort of personal growth. The quiet grief that comes when life asks us to evolve. Together they unpack the difference between loneliness and aloneness, why the nervous system often interprets growth as anxiety, and how solitude can become one of the most powerful spaces for self-remembrance. This conversation is an invitation to stop seeing loneliness as something broken and begin recognising it as part of becoming. Sometimes the space between who you were and who you are becoming is not emptiness. It is preparation. In this episode, we explore: – the difference between loneliness and aloneness– why growth often feels like grief before it feels like freedom– how the body signals change before the mind understands it– nervous system activation during periods of transformation– learning to trust yourself in seasons of uncertainty This is a conversation about self-trust, inner safety, and learning how to stand fully in your own company. Because sometimes the person you’ve been waiting for is you.  Tarot Card Wisdom The Four of Pentacles beautifully reflected the heart of this conversation. It speaks of holding on tightly whether to old identities, familiar relationships, past versions of ourselves, or the comfort of what once felt safe. This card reminds us that growth often asks us to loosen our grip. When we cling too tightly to what has already served its purpose, we create more fear, resistance, and suffering. The Four invites us to build inner stability rather than external control, to trust that change is not here to take something from us, but to make space for something new. In the loneliness of becoming, this card asks us to soften, release, and remember that what is truly meant for us does not require fear to hold it in place.

How do we live with our past without becoming trapped by it? In this deeply reflective episode of Salt, Sage & Stardust, Keryn and Dr Vicki Haspels explore the relationship we hold with our past: our childhood stories, regrets, grief, inherited family patterns, old identities, and the versions of ourselves we no longer recognise. Is your past something you carry, or has it been carrying you? Together, they unpack the difference between honouring the past as a foundation and allowing it to become a prison. Through the lenses of Salt, Sage, and Stardust, they explore how healing happens not by living in old stories, but by creating safety, awareness, and freedom in the present moment. This conversation moves through:• how the body stores memory and trauma• why the nervous system often lives in past tense• the power of self-forgiveness and compassion• recognising when old stories are still shaping present choices• how awareness becomes the doorway to freedom• why your past is part of your soil, not your sentence• shifting from living through memory to living through meaning And finally, a beautiful reminder:If you woke up this morning, you made it.Today is a brand new page. Your past is not a prison.It is the ground beneath your feet.

What happens when life changes… and suddenly you no longer fit the version of yourself you once knew? In this episode of Salt, Sage & Stardust, Keryn Rose and Dr Vicki Haspels explore the deeply human experience of change, identity, and transformation through a powerful metaphor: What if you spent your life believing you were an orange… only to realise you were actually an apple? From divorce, career changes, aging, motherhood, grief, and shifting relationships, to those quieter moments where something simply no longer feels right—this conversation dives into what it means when life asks us to become someone new. Together they explore: how change often begins within before it shows up outside• the loneliness of transformation and finding your people again• why endings are not failures, but completed chapters• calming the nervous system when life feels uncertain• trusting the body’s signals when the old identity no longer fits• the courage it takes to stop trying to “fix” life and instead ask, “Who am I now?”• how soul growth often requires us to let old versions of ourselves fall away Through the lens of Salt (body), Sage (inner wisdom), and Stardust (soul perspective), this episode offers a compassionate reminder that life is not happening to you—it is unfolding for you. Closing with The Lovers card from the tarot—featuring the golden apple itself—the message becomes beautifully clear: You cannot make the wrong choice.Every path leads you closer to yourself. A soulful conversation about change, identity, trust, and the sacred unfolding of becoming who you were always meant to be.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if receiving isn’t something you earn, but something you allow? In this episode, Keryn and Vicki explore the art of receiving, from accepting help and support, to opening to life, connection, and yourself. Together, they unpack: Why receiving can feel uncomfortable or unsafe  The role of the body and nervous system  How vulnerability, trust, and worthiness shape our ability to receive  The balance between boundaries and openness  With reflections through the Salt, Sage & Stardust lens, this conversation invites you to soften, trust, and let life meet you. ✨ Featuring a closing Tarot insight: The Ten of Wands — a reminder that you don’t have to carry everything alone. 💫 A gentle invitation Where might life be asking you to receive, instead of push?

In this episode of Salt, Sage & Stardust, Keryn and Vicki explore something we all carry, yet often overlook: ✨ Your secret sauce. Not something to chase. Not something to earn. But something already within you waiting to be recognised, trusted, and lived. Through a grounded and heartfelt conversation, they unpack the idea that each of us has a unique energetic “recipe”, a blend of experiences, wisdom, sensitivity, and presence that shapes how we move through the world. Together, they explore: What your “secret sauce” really is (and what it’s not)  Why we often look outside ourselves instead of within  The role of awareness in recognising your natural gifts  How comparison and self-doubt can cloud what is already there  The importance of trusting your own rhythm, way, and expression  How life experiences shape and refine your unique essence  This episode is a gentle yet powerful reminder that you don’t need to add more to who you are, you simply need to remember. Tarot Card - The Sun A radiant reminder of joy, clarity, and authenticity. The Sun invites you to step fully into who you are without hesitation, without dimming, without second-guessing. Your light is not something to earn, it’s something you’ve come here to express.

A moment to step out of the noise and into the quiet knowing that what you’re seeking has been within you all along. 🎧 Listen, Reflect, Remember You are not here to be like anyone else.You are here to be fully you.

In this episode, Dr Vicki Haspels & Keryn Rose explore the truth that intuition isn’t something you need to develop — it’s something you already carry within you. Through personal stories, lived experiences, and honest reflection, they unpack how intuition actually shows up in everyday life — not as something dramatic or external, but as a subtle inner knowing, a feeling in the body, and a quiet sense of trust. This episode explores; Why intuition is often misunderstood or overcomplicated  The role of awareness in recognising intuitive signals  How the body communicates before the mind understands  Letting go of needing answers, and learning to trust the moment  The difference between intuition and fear or mental noise  How trust is built through lived experience, not theory  Through the lenses of Salt (body), Sage (inner wisdom), and Stardust (divine connection), this conversation invites you to reconnect with your own inner guidance not by seeking more, but by noticing what is already there. Because the magic isn’t outside of you. It’s within you, waiting to be acknowledged. Tarot Card Wisdom Vicki pulled the The King of Pentacles.  He arrives as a steady, grounded presence — a reminder that true magic isn’t fleeting, it’s embodied. He speaks of a deep inner knowing that has been lived, tested, and trusted over time. A wisdom that no longer seeks validation, because it has become part of the very fabric of who you are. This is intuition made real. Not something you visit… but something you stand within. He invites you to root into your own inner authority — to trust the rhythm of your body, the quiet voice within, and the path that unfolds beneath your feet. Because when you truly trust yourself  life meets you there with stability, support, and flow. The King of Pentacles reminds us intuition isn’t something we chase …  it’s something we learn to stand firmly within.

In this episode of Salt, Sage & Stardust, Keryn Rose and Dr Vicki Haspels explore the relationship between safety and freedom — and gently unravel the idea that they are opposites. Through the lens of the nervous system, they reveal that true freedom doesn’t come from pushing past fear, but from feeling safe enough to expand. Together, they explore: Why safety is a felt, somatic experience — not just a mindset  How a regulated nervous system creates the foundation for growth and choice  The difference between safety and familiarity  Why freedom can sometimes feel overwhelming (and even paralysing)  How self-awareness and discernment guide aligned choices  The dance between stability and expansion  Freedom as a natural state of the soul — not something to chase  This conversation invites you to soften the binary thinking of “either safe or free” and instead explore how these two forces work together — creating a life that feels both grounded and expansive. Tarot Wisdom Vicki pulled the Three of Pentacles.  It speaks to the importance of creating a stable foundation before expansion. It’s the quiet reassurance that we don’t have to do it all at once — we can learn, grow, and step forward in ways that feel supported and sustainable. In the context of safety and freedom, this card reminds us: when we feel safe enough, we can begin to participate more fully in our own becoming.

In this episode of Salt, Sage & Stardust, Keryn Rose and Dr Vicki Haspels explore what it means to stay connected to the world without losing connection to yourself. As global events, collective emotions, and constant streams of information flood our awareness, it can become difficult to discern what is truly ours — and what is not. Through personal reflections, lived experiences, and the guiding lens of Salt (external reality), Sage (inner experience), and Stardust (conscious connection), this conversation invites you to return to a simple but powerful question: Where are your feet? Together, they explore: The difference between the world and your world How to recognise when you’re carrying energy that isn’t yours Emotional overwhelm as a sign of safety, not failure The role of the nervous system in grounding and discernment Why not everything requires your attention — or your fixing How perspective shifts depending on where you stand (including a powerful Southern Hemisphere equinox reflection) The importance of conscious choice in how you show up This episode closes with a Tarot reflection featuring the Two of Swords and Two of Wands — a message of discernment, trust, and stepping forward with your own inner knowing. A gentle, grounding conversation for anyone feeling the weight of the world — and ready to come home to themselves.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Dr Vicki Haspels & Keryn Rose explore the true meaning of integrity — not as a concept, but as a lived, embodied experience. What does it feel like when your thoughts, words, actions, and values align?And how do you recognise when they don’t? Through personal stories, intuitive insight, and grounded wisdom, they unpack integrity as the bridge between awareness and action — the quiet inner knowing that guides us back to ourselves. They explore: Integrity as alignment of thoughts, words, actions, and values The physical and emotional signals of being out of alignment Trusting inner knowing and intuitive action The role of the body as a barometer of truth How daily practices support self-alignment The interplay of Salt (earth), Sage (inner wisdom), and Stardust (spirit) Why integrity begins with self before it expands into the collective This conversation is an invitation to pause, listen within, and reconnect with the truth of who you are. ✨ Closing reflection:Integrity is not something we perform — it is something we become.

In this episode of Salt, Sage & Stardust, Keryn Rose and Dr Vicki Haspels explore the powerful relationship between choice, self-awareness, and the way we respond to life’s unfolding moments.  Through an honest and thoughtful conversation, they unpack the paradox of control — and how shifting from trying to control life to consciously participating in it can transform our experience of ourselves and the world. Using the three pillars of the podcast — Salt, Sage and Stardust — they explore how life invites us to move from autopilot to awareness, from reaction to reflection, and from separation to belonging. The episode closes with a Tarot reflection from The High Priestess, reminding us that the wisdom we seek is already within us. Perhaps the real invitation is this: Not why is life happening to me?But how am I choosing to meet life today?

What does courage really mean? In this episode of Salt, Sage & Stardust, Keryn Rose and Dr Vicki Haspels explore the deeper meaning of courage — not as dramatic heroism, but as a quiet, heart-led force that lives within our everyday lives. Drawing on the etymology of the word courage (from the Latin cor, meaning heart), this conversation reveals courage as the willingness to live from the heart and act in alignment with our inner truth — even when life feels uncertain. Together, Keryn and Vicki explore: ✨ The difference between courage and bravery✨ Why courage is often quiet and deeply personal✨ How courage shows up in everyday life — not just in big decisions✨ The role courage plays during times of global uncertainty✨ How recognising our past courage builds trust in ourselves Through the three pillars of Salt, Sage & Stardust, they reflect on courage as: 🧂 Salt — The courage of the bodyStaying present with discomfort, grounding the nervous system, and remaining embodied when fear arises. 🌿 Sage — The courage of wisdomPausing before reacting, choosing discernment over impulse, and listening to our inner guidance. ✨ Stardust — The courage of the soulTrusting that we are part of something larger, and that even small acts of courage ripple into the collective.

In this episode of Salt, Sage & Stardust, Keryn Rose and Dr Vicki Haspels explore the delicate — and deeply human — dance between impulse and wisdom. With the intensity of 2026 already being felt through collective fire energy, many of us are experiencing restlessness, urgency, emotional activation, and the sense that something is changing. This conversation invites listeners to pause, breathe, and reconnect with their inner guidance — rather than reacting from pressure or fear. Using the three guiding pillars of Salt (the body), Sage (inquiry and discernment), and Stardust (trust in the greater unfolding), Keryn and Vicki explore how impulse and wisdom show up differently — and how both are essential when held consciously. In this episode, we explore: Why impulse isn’t “wrong” — it’s simply incomplete without wisdom How impulse and wisdom feel differently in the body and nervous system The role of discernment in times of heightened energy and uncertainty Why slowing down doesn’t mean missing out — it means listening more deeply How wisdom is built through lived experience, not perfection Trusting divine timing and soul-led action The Justice card as a reflection of balance, truth, and personal integrity This episode is an invitation to become more intimate with your own signals — to recognise when something is asking for immediate action, and when it’s asking for space, curiosity, or rest. As always, this is not about being told what to do — it’s about opening a conversation with yourself, your body, and your deeper knowing. If you’re feeling the fire, the restlessness, or the call to move — this episode offers grounding, reassurance, and a reminder that you don’t need to rush to be aligned. 🎧 Listen in, reflect, and join us in the remembering.

What if listening to your body is only the beginning? In this episode of Salt, Sage & Stardust, Keryn and Vicki continue their exploration of the body as an oracle and move into the deeper, often overlooked question: once the body speaks, how do we respond? This is a conversation about discernment rather than urgency. About pausing instead of fixing. About learning to trust the wisdom that arrives in sensations, emotions, fatigue, restlessness, and desire—without rushing to act or explain it away  Together, Keryn and Vicki explore: Why acknowledgement is the first sacred act of listening How rushing to “do something” can interrupt the message The difference between signal and strategy What sacred boredom really is—and why it matters How self-trust is built through patience, not performance The role of grounding, nervous system regulation, and inner balance Why not having words can be a sign you’re exactly where you need to be This episode is an invitation to listen again—and to let the space between messages become sacred. 🎧 Tune in now and join us in the pause.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
