The Designed Life

My conversation with Giana explores the deeply personal nature of systems change – revealing how true transformation begins within.Giana shares her journey from navigating unsafe early environments to working across education, government, and corporate systems, ultimately arriving at a powerful truth: we each hold agency within the systems we inhabit.Together, we unpack co-ownership, inner liberation, and the courage required to face ourselves fully. This episode reframes “doing the work” as an unglamorous but profound process of self-awareness, compassion, and choice—where even the smallest acts of rebellion can become catalysts for meaningful change.Connect with Giana:• ⁠Her website⁠• ⁠Her Instagram⁠• ⁠Her Free Monthly Women’s Circle• ⁠Her Podcast‍Connect with me:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Astrology Readings // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Life Coaching // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pinterest //⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads //⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website

Astrology is a phenomenal tool for helping a person piece together and define who they are. It’s a system that can explain what shape of the universe we’re embodying while in this lifetime – and I love it for that.But astrology is also a timing tool, one that helps us understand when certain events are going to occur, and where in our lives they will unfold – and that part of astrology is a part I find exceptionally valuable.In a world in which time is our most precious resource, wouldn’t it be helpful to have a system that tells us how we’re going to be activated ahead of time? Where our attention will be focused? What things we’ll be called to do, and learn about, and respond to? So that we could better plan and choose how we show up – with less guilt, less questioning, less confusion?In this episode I to share with you the ways I utilize the planetary movements to help me plan my time – in alignment with my moods, my energy, my interests, and to support my larger goals and visions, and from a yearly, seasonal, monthly, week and daily viewpoint.Mentioned:How I plan my time using astrology substackTrusted Timing waitlistEps 42: How to work with all the phases of the moon Spacious (empty houses) workshopConnect with me:‍⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Astrology Readings⁠ · ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Life Coaching⁠ · ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack⁠ · ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pinterest⁠ ·⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads⁠

Taurus season begins in the body.After the fire and initiation of Aries, this is where we slow down and ask: how do we make this real? How do we take what’s been sparked and build it into something sustainable?Taurus is fixed earth – steady, grounded, and devoted to what feels nourishing and true. Like the middle of spring, growth is already underway. So now it’s about tending it – deepening roots while allowing for steady, embodied expansion.But this Taurus season is going to look and feel a little different.After eight years, Uranus completes its journey through the sign, closing out a long chapter of disruption and value redefinition. As it moves into Gemini, a new era begins – one that reshapes how we think, communicate, and connect.The season opens with intensity, and continues with two very tender lunations – the Scorpio Full Moon and Taurus New Moon. By the end of the season, there’s a sense of mental expansion and creative breakthrough – a shift into a new way of thinking and being. And some of the best days of the year are found on May 18th and 19thIn this episode, we explore:Taurus as grounded, embodied growthThe shift from Aries initiation to Taurus integrationUranus ending it’s 8 year stay in Taurus and entering GeminiNavigating early-season intensity and burnoutThe Scorpio Full Moon and deep emotional reckoningMercury in Taurus and intentional expressionAligning action with values and collective changeThe Taurus New Moon and working with tendernessCreative breakthroughs with Mercury–UranusReturning to softness, connection, and stabilityThis is a season of rooting into what’s true while allowing it to evolve.YOU’RE INVITED to SPACIOUS: Empty Houses & How to Work With ThemIn this workshop we'll explore what your empty houses mean for you personally – the areas of life they represent, why these areas of life show up in a certain style, and how you can simply and practically integrate these parts of yourself.Time Stamps:00:10:13 Week 1 (April 19-25) – Running hot, cold, and erratic00:27:21 Week 2 (April 26-May 2) – Sensitive expressions & connections00:32:19 May 1 – Scorpio Full Moon00:45:03 Week 3 (May 3-9) – Protection through change00:55:37 Week 4 (May 10-16) – Sweetness & Tenderness00:59:00 May 16 – Taurus New Moon01:08:22 Week 5 (May 17-20) – Utmost nourishmentMentioned:• ⁠Uranus in Gemini article• Somatic & Creative Practices for AprilConnect with me:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Astrology Readings // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Life Coaching // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pinterest //⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads //⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website

I’m so happy to have my new online friend turned IRL friend Sarah Kleist on the podcast today! Sarah is an actor, designer, web designer, and multi-passionate creative, and in our convo we explore what it really means to be a multi-hyphenate in today’s online entrepreneurial world.From holding multiple identities with confidence to using creativity as both a coping mechanism and a form of expression during uncertain times, Sarah shares how her career evolved from theater to web design during the pandemic, and how storytelling connects everything she creates.Together, we unpack visibility as a practice – not just for business growth, but as a way to expand self-expression, confidence, and presence in everyday life. We also dive into the relationship between creativity and joy, the power of showing up authentically, and why having fun might be the most underrated strategy for success.This episode is a reminder that your path doesn’t have to fit into one box—and that your art, in whatever form it takes, is enough.Connect with Sarah:Her websiteHer InstagramHer ThreadsHer Brand Photoshoot workshopMentioned:Alyssa LuiXanthe AppleyardConnect with me:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Astrology Readings // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Life Coaching // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pinterest //⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads //⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website

Q2 of 2026 feels like the season where what we’ve been planting begins to show us what’s actually growing.In this episode, I walk through the astrology of April, May, and June – moving through Aries, Taurus, and Gemini –and explore what this quarter asks of us collectively: clearer action, deeper discernment, and a stronger relationship to what truly nourishes us.We begin with the heat and activation of Aries season, where momentum returns and emotions can become important information, move into the grounding and restorative qualities of Taurus, and then enter the accelerating, idea-rich energy of Gemini as Uranus in Gemini opens an entirely new collective storyline.This quarter starts with some intensity, but by June there is real sweetness—more connection, more clarity, and moments that remind us what is worth caring for, building, and protecting.

After weeks of intense astrological build-up, the Spring Equinox opens the door to a new astrological year, and this one feels unmistakably different. With the Sun entering Aries and immediately activating Saturn and Neptune in Aries for the first time, we’re stepping into the seeding of an entirely new collective storyline around identity, leadership, and selfhood.If the last few weeks have felt intense or destabilizing, this season says: claim the new narrative. The spark has been lit, and now it’s time to consciously work with it.The final weeks of Aries season turn up the heat.What begins as a tender desire to protect something new within us quickly intensifies into a season of combustion, courage, confrontation, and recalibration. With Mars entering Aries, a powerful Aries New Moon, and multiple Mars–Saturn–Neptune activations, we’re navigating fire in its rawest form: motivation, anger, inspiration, frustration, and identity reckoning.This episode explores:The deeper meaning of Aries as initiatory fireThe Sun’s activation of the new Saturn–Neptune cycle in AriesMercury stationing direct on the North Node (a fated forward shift)A relationally rich Libra Full Moon at 12ºVenus entering Taurus and restoring sweetness, pleasure, and stabilityThe volatility of Mars–Uranus and Mars–NeptuneA highly charged Aries New Moon at 27°Mars conjunct Saturn: hitting the wallHow to work consciously with rage, inflammation, and blocked momentumThis is a season about learning how to handle heat – in your body, your relationships, and the collective – without letting it burn everything down.Time Stamps:00:07:59 Week 1 (March 20-21) – Fated Forward Shifts00:12:52 Week 2 (March-28) – New Storylines00:24:25 April 1 – Libra Full Moon00:39:56 Week 3 (March 29-April 4) – Navigating Fire00:53:00 Week 4 (April 5-11) – War of Ideals01:08:04 April 17 – Aries New Moon01:20:50 Week 5 (April 12-19) – Direct Your Motivation WiselyMentioned:Book a reading with me to make sense of this Aries season for yourselfSocial Change Ecosystem MapCultivating Safety EpisodeKarla McLarenConnect with me:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Astrology Readings // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Life Coaching // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pinterest //⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads //⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website

I’m so excited to share this conversation with cultural philosopher, strategist, and fascinating human, Chelsea Riffe ✨This episode is a deep dive into curiosity, original thinking, and what it means to develop your own philosophy in a world that constantly tells us what and how to think.We talk about why curiosity is being quietly trained out of us, how endless inputs (social media, AI, media cycles) can cloud our ability to think clearly, and why cultivating a distinct worldview might be one of the most valuable currencies of the next decade.Chelsea also shares the thinking behind her new program, Supernova – a modern philosophical salon for creative entrepreneurs who want to build ideas, frameworks, and schools of thought rather than just more “content.”This conversation is a statement for how and why allowing yourself to think a little more deeply (and a little more weirdly) might actually be the thing the world needs most right now.If you’ve been craving more depth, more nuance, and more meaningful conversations, this one is for you.Tune in today!Find Chelsea:Her podcastSupernovaPitch PerfectHer InstagramHer ThreadsMentioned:Social LifeConnect with me:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Astrology Readings // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Life Coaching // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pinterest //⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads //⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website

The meaning of what's come to be known as your "Big Three" is a bit illusive, so in tihs episode, I break down how to synthesize your Rising, Sun, and Moon in your natal chart as an entry point to deeper self-understanding.Rather than reducing astrology to personality stereotypes, I reframes these major placements as an energetic blueprint:Rising sign → your motivating life force and trajectorySun sign → your conscious identity and purposeMoon sign → how you nourish yourself so you can sustain it allThis episode is not about prescribing a career path or telling you who you “should” be. Instead, it offers a framework for energetic alignment – helping you understand what propels you, what you identify with, and what truly feeds you so your life feels less chaotic and more whole.I also include a few extra layers for nuance, so you'll learn how to mix in:The ruling planet of each placementThe house it lives inWhere Leo and Cancer fall in the chart (for the Sun and Moon)The companion Substack with visuals and breakdowns can be found here for further integration.Join the Orienting to Spring workshop!Mentioned:Book a reading with meKnow your Moon, know your comfort zoneHow to work with every moonEps 042: How to work with all phases of the moonConnect with me:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Astrology Readings // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Life Coaching // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pinterest //⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads //⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website

March is a powerful month, and much of that power comes from the lunations.This month activates the Pisces–Virgo axis, illuminating the ongoing eclipse dialogue between intuition, belief, imagination, and surrender (Pisces) and discernment, embodiment, systems, and practical care (Virgo). This axis teaches us how to zoom all the way out and all the way in — and how to let those perspectives inform one another.We open the month on March 3 with a Full Moon Eclipse at the South Node in Virgo at 12º. This eclipse is asking:Where are perfectionism, over-optimization, or self-criticism ready to be released?How have control, routine, or logic been used as substitutes for trust?What information is available through your body, intuition, and felt experience when clarity is unavailable?Later in the month, on March 18, we arrive at a New Moon in Pisces at 28º, closing eclipse season and opening a new chapter. This New Moon is seeding:A new belief system about what is possible for you and the collectiveA vision rooted in intuition, values, and compassionThe courage to act on a dream before you have all the proofThis lunation invites you to break old mental molds, flip limiting narratives, and root your future actions in what truly nourishes and matters.March reminds us: intuition is a resource, belief is a catalyst, and we are stepping into a new era of consciousness — one thought, one choice, one leap at a time.Reminder that my astrology consultations are $111 until March 21st!

Welcome Pisces season!Pisces season of 2026 is a PACKED season, friends! As a continuation of Aquarius season, we also have the continuation of eclipses, the official culmination of the Saturn-Neptune conjunction, a Mercury retrograde in Pisces, and Jupiter stationing direct. This season is messy, confusion, and ultimately asks us – what can you rely on when you don’t have all the information? What intuitive resources can you deepen into?This season will be pulling us in a lot of different directions, and we might end up very different on the other side.Themes of the weeksWeek 1 (2.18-2.21) – courageously dissolving boundaries and barriers to our identityWeek 2 (2.22-2.28) – destined confusionWeek 3 (3.1-3.7) – stretchy creative and intuitiveWeek 4 (3.8-3.14) – deeply needed nourishmentWeek 5 (3.15-3.20 – messy emotions and a new generative cycle beginsTune in to hear more about how each of these weeks will unfold, and the energy you can tap into to help direct your own creative cycles.Read more about this season via the corresponding Substack article.Key Dates:2.20 Saturn conjoins Neptune, first time since2.22 Venus trine Jupiter Rx2.26 Mercury stations Rx in Pisces2.27 Sun conjunct N Node, Mars square Uranus3.2 Mars enters Pisces3.3 Full Moon Eclipse Virgo 12º3.5 Sun trine Jupiter Rx3.6 Venus enters Aries3.7 Mercury Rx cazimi, Venus conjunct Neptune3.8 Venus conjunct Saturn3.10 Jupiter stations direct on exaltation degree in Cancer3.15 Mars conjunct Mercury Rx3.18 New Moon Pisces 28º sextile Uranus, Venus square Jupiter3.20 Sun enters Aries, Mercury stations direct in Pisces, Spring EquinoxMentioned:Book a reading with meNon-violent communication practiceEps 050 with Kayleigh MartinConnect with me:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Astrology Readings // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Life Coaching // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pinterest //⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads //⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website

Today I’m sharing an intimate, embodied conversation I had with somatic life coach Kayleigh Martin about connection, integration, and staying human in polarized times.What begins as a reflection on instant relational depth expands into a rich dialogue on somatics, trauma, lineage, power, and the radical act of weaving – rather than rejecting – the fragmented parts of ourselves.Kayleigh and I examine how unintegrated trauma lives in bodies and systems, and how returning to the body becomes a pathway for both personal and social transformation. Themes of burnout under capitalism, entrepreneurship as a somatic initiation, nervous system wisdom, and collective grief are held alongside reflections on disagreement, capacity, and mobilization – without collapsing into shutdown or disconnection.At its core, this conversation explores duality and wholeness: holding despair and delight at once, honoring the body’s intelligence, reclaiming “no” as an expansive and protective force, and reframing joy as a radical form of resourcing. Together, these threads point toward more integrated, compassionate ways of being – rooted in the body, widened in capacity, and alive to the full spectrum of human experience.Connect with Kayleigh:On instagram hereOn threads hereOn her podcast hereVia HavenOur episode on her podcastMentioned:Creative LivingSocial Change Ecosystem map by Deepa IyerEternal Sunshine of the Spotless MindConnect with me:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Astrology Readings // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Life Coaching // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pinterest //⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads //⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website

What creates safety?Safety is defined as: the condition of being protected from or unlikely to cause danger, risk, or injury.But what are the components that actually create a sense of safety in a person’s life? And how do we continue to create it in the midst of world that is constantly changing, and feeling less safe and secure.In this episode I discuss 5 main components that add to a experience of safety - physical, emotional, mental, relational -Being allowed to be vulnerableConsistent access to essential resourcesResiliency from conflictTrust produced by proof of actionBeing able to ask for and receive supportSuggestion for how to work with this episode:Choose just one of the five components listed above.Examine – how do you experience this component of safety in your life?

February is a powerful month – perhaps THE MOST powerful month of the year, and part of that power comes from the lunations.This month activates the Leo–Aquarius axis, spotlighting the tension and dialogue between individual identity, leadership, and self-expression (Leo) and collective responsibility, systems, and humanitarian vision (Aquarius).We open the month on February 1 with a Full Moon in Leo at 13º. This Full Moon is asking:How are your talents, creativity, leadership, and identity being used in service of the collective?Where can access be widened, structures reimagined, or generosity increased so more people can benefit?How do you remain fully valued without hoarding power or visibility?The we step into eclipse season with the February 17 New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aquarius at 28º – the first of a series of eclipses in Aquarius that will continue through 2028. This eclipse may coincide with:The dismantling of identities, passions, or roles you once deeply identified withA sense of loss, instability, or aggressive clearingSimultaneously, the seeding of a new way of operating as an individual in service of the collectiveThis is the month we find ourselves fully stepping in a new era – let's go!Connect with me:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Astrology Readings // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Life Coaching // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pinterest //⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads //⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website

This week I chat with the content queen herself Xanthe Appleyard! Our conversation explores what it means to lead, create, and build sustainably – from a foundation of pleasure and self-trust. Xanthe shares the organic evolution of her “leisure ethic” – a values-based framework rooted in autonomy, integration, and choice.Although I wanted to explore all of Xanthe’s 12 principles, in 60 minutes we could only talk through only a handful. That said, this robust conversation offers so many reflections on auditing work for alignment, redefining pleasure in personal language, navigating hard conversations, and embracing conflict as intimacy, and how sustainable success emerges from integration rather than sacrifice.Grounded in Xanthe’s real-life transitions, she offers so much insight on a human-centered blueprint for building a life and business that honors the whole self.Connect with Xanthe:On instagram hereOn tiktok hereOn her podcast hereVia Social LifeAlso Mentioned:Samantha MacKinnonChelsea RiffeConnect with me:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Astrology Readings // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Life Coaching // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pinterest //⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads //⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website

*Time stamps are available below so you can jump ahead to your sign.*2026 is a pivotal year that piggy backs on so much of the change that was seeded in 2025.For all of us we’re going to be experiencing a ramping up in our communication, a willful desire to be wholly our weird, wild, rebellious, and contrarian selves, and ultimately we’ll be ending the year having shed many protective layers to our identity and expression – allowing ourselves to be more fully seen.This is a year that will require courage from all of us, but we’ll be up for the challenge – we’re ready.Wishing you an expansive 2026 friend!Timestamps:00:00:00 Intro00:03:50 Aries Rising00:23:00 Taurus Rising00:42:28 Gemini Rising01:04:38 Cancer Rising01:25:56 Leo Rising01:47:00 Virgo Rising02:10:20 Libra Rising02:33:05 Scorpio Rising02:57:58 Sagittarius Rising03:21:10 Capricorn Rising03:44:35 Aquarius Rising04:08:48 Pisces Rising04:31:46 Wrap UpBook an astrology reading with meRead about all the major dates of 2026Connect with me:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Astrology Readings // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Life Coaching // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pinterest //⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads //⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website

January offers us a chance to balance our relationships to our bodies and felt experience with our work and our desire to turn ideas into reality.The Full Moon in Cancer 13º on January 3rd is very concerned with our relationship to our felt experience. There’s an opportunities to look back on the last 6 months and year to assess how our relationships to our bodies, nourishment, and collective care have shifted and evolved.The New Moon in Capricorn 28º on January 18º is a unique one in that Mars and Mercury are conjoined in the sky at the same time. This is a poignant moment that offers us a great deal of clarity of direction as well as our sense of purpose. Just be sure not to overdo your intentions – remember that your body and self-care are just as necessary and important as the dreams you’re striving towards.Reminder that select astrology readings with me are $99 through the end of the year – ⁠⁠book yours here!Mentioned:2026 Key Astrological Dates SubstackConnect with me:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Astrology Readings // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Life Coaching // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pinterest //⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads //⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website

There’s a feeling that what worked before must work again – but deep down we know that’s not true.This season helps us to tie up the final chapters of the books we’ve been writing the past few years (if not decades), and prepares us for the radical changes that 2026 has in store.Themes of the weeksWeek 1 (12.21-12.27) – stillness and tending to what motivates our creative visions for the long haulWeek 2 (12.28-1.3) – following up our creativity with conversations, tender activations, and big ideas for the futureWeek 3 (1.4-1.10) – running hot and coldWeek 4 (1.11-1.17) – tough love and hard work paying offWeek 5 (1.18-1.19) – breaking up the hard earthTune in to hear more about how each of these weeks will unfold, and the energy you can tap into to help direct your own creative cycles.Reminder that select astrology readings with me are $99 through the end of the year – ⁠book yours here!Key Dates:12.21 Sun enters Capricorn, Venus square Saturn, Jupiter Rx square Chiron Rx12.24 Venus enters Capricorn (through Jan 17, 2026)1.1 Mercury enters Capricorn (through Jan 20)1.3 Full Moon Cancer 13º1.6 Venus conjunct Sun1.7 Venus conjunct Mars1.9 Sun conjunct Mars, Venus opposes Jupiter Rx1.10 Sun & Mars oppose Jupiter Rx1.17 Venus enters Aquarius (through Feb 10), Sun trines Uranus Rx1.18 Mercury conjunct Mars, New Moon Capricorn 28ºSun enters AquariusMentioned:How to work with every moon substackKnow your moon know your comfort zone substackConnect with me:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Astrology Readings // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Life Coaching // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pinterest //⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads //⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website

Brand strategist and wonderfully inspiring Ylani Estwick joins me today for a conversation about building from an intuitive and heart-center vision, and cultivating motivation by leaning in to your purpose.Ylani shares her journey of transitioning from a decade-long copywriting career into a more intuitive, purpose-led business rooted in authenticity and inner alignment. She discusses how personal identity, curiosity, and the courage to change one’s mind deeply shape the entrepreneurial path.

One of my goals for 2026 is to live more in alignment with my energetic cycles and rhythms, and to detach from the linearity we so often prescribe to. So if that is my goal, this December is my introduction to actually living into that belief and way of being.In this episode I discuss some of the themes that have been coming into clarity around my work, the way I operate, the fears my business and work-ethic are rooted in, and what I plan to do to align myself with the vision I'm holding for the year ahead – including taking a break on a few aspects of my business.My invitation for everyone during this time to cultivate some space - even just a little - to assess where and how your energy is being distributed and whether or not that output/production is reciprocal.Connect with me:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ASTROLOGY READINGS⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LIFE COACHING⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUBSTACK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠PINTEREST⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠THREADS⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WEBSITE⁠

We've almost reached the end of 2025 friends! A year that's truly felt like 20 in 1, but are we really that excited to get into the wildness that will be 2026?The lunations of the month are right on theme with the rest of the energy that surrounds them.The Full Moon in Gemini on December 4th is illuminating all the distracting rabbit holes you might finding yourself going down, and asking you – what threads are you following that actually align with the bigger dream?Then, the New Moon in Sagittarius on December 19th, just before the Winter Solstice is asking us to get very clear about our energetic and intuitive capacities, as well as the boundaries we create to help ourselves stay true to our energy. It's month that will absolutely be mentally and spiritually stimulating, and will hopefully leave us with more clarity of direction that when we entered.Reminder that select astrology readings with me are $99 through the end of the year – ⁠book yours here!Connect with me:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ASTROLOGY READINGS⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LIFE COACHING⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUBSTACK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠PINTEREST⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠THREADS⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WEBSITE⁠

Monica Monfre is a long time friend, teacher, dancer, and BRCA1 positive genetic mutation holder. In this episode we talk through how she navigated the loss of her sister to breast cancer, and how that experience has shaped her life since – inevitably discovering her own predisposition to ovarian cancer.You might hear me learning in real time what some of the terms Monica is uses to describe the experiences of breast and ovarian cancer are, and that's the point of this conversation – to become more familiar with the language of our reproductive health and to reduce the stigmas that go along with things like cancer, menopause, hormone therapy, etc.Overall this is a conversation about the agency you have over your body and health, the wisdom of our bodies and following our intuition - especially when it comes to preventative care - and the importance of naming your identity, and sharing about your health experiences.Connect with Monica on Threads / InstagramMentioned:Monica’s interview in The New York TimesThe BreastiesThe Breast of UsEps 042: How to work with all phases of the moonConnect with me:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ASTROLOGY READINGS⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LIFE COACHING⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUBSTACK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠PINTEREST⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠THREADS⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WEBSITE⁠

The phases of the moon have been observed in awe and wonder for centuries. In this episode I discuss each of the 8 main phases, and how they're overlayed onto our days, months, years, eras in life, and even in the stages of our gardens (literal and figurative).

Welcome to a very special episode! My incredible and inspirational mom, Joan Maloney, joins me to share a little of her backstory – the journey it took for her to get from small town book worm, to receptionist/delivery driver, to thriving business woman with a highly successful graphic design studio. In this episode she shares stories about her resiliency – from navigating sexual harassment, to starting a business in the midst of physical recovery from back to back car accidents, to running a studio while parenting a young daughter. She was doing it all before we knew how to crawl, and she blazed a trail for all of us to walk down – must more easily that she did.I hope you enjoy this little window into her life and our relationship, and be sure to check out her forthcoming book!Mentioned:Studio 318Eps 005: Work-life BalanceConnect with me:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ASTROLOGY READINGS⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LIFE COACHING⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUBSTACK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠PINTEREST⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠THREADS⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WEBSITE⁠

I’m thrilled to be sharing this episode describing the pillars of what living a Designed Life means - the practices, processes, perspectives, etc. For so many years I’ve been operating with these pillars in my life and they’ve been infused into my work, but only recently did they fully coalesce into these principles. The main 3 that operate in a cycle are:​It starts with you – reclamation​Know what you’re choosing – alignment​Water what you want to grow – cultivationThis cycle is then supported by 4 secondary pillars, each connected to a different element:​ do hard things with great self-care – earth​ time is what you make it – air​ it’s all beauty – fire​ everything has a ripple effect – waterI describe in detail what each of these pillars mean and what they look like in action so you can understand your own life through the lens of Design.Mentioned​Svādhyāya​The Mysteries of the Dark Moon​Xanthe Appleyard / Leisure Ethic​Kaitlyn Kessler​Identity Evolution Workbook​Jess Ellen Astrology​On Being interview with Matthew Sanford​Ep 019: Unity Consciousness​Jane Goodall’s last words

How often do we carve out time, to then only use it by succumbing to distraction or squandering it with petty little projects? How often do we arrive at a moment of spaciousness only to then not feel capable of immersing ourselves fully into it?In this episode I layout my schedule for the two weeks I'll be on a solo self-guided retreat – the projects I plan to work on, the books I plan to read, and the activities I plan to enjoy.I recorded this episode at 10pm the night before I flew out because I was having a lot of creative blocks around what I wanted to share this week and it took me awhile to arrive on this topic. But as I was journalling (in an attempt to stay up all night to get to the airport at 4am) the idea of sharing how I'll be using my time during this solo experience felt timely and relevant.So also please know that it's not the most structured and cohesive eps I've ever recorded!I'd love to what resonated for you from anything I shared here, and can't wait to update you on how the trip unfolds!Mentioned:Constellations Scorpio SeasonThe Mysteries of the Dark MoonEssbe JewelryRead the connected Substack to this episodeConnect with me:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ASTROLOGY READINGS⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LIFE COACHING⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUBSTACK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠PINTEREST⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠THREADS⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WEBSITE⁠

It may not be eclipse season anymore but these lunations are definitely serving spicy! The Aries Full Moon on October 6th will bring something fiery to the surface that requires your healing and attention. What in your relationships have you potentially be avoiding?

We're coming off of eclipse season and yeah - it's time to get organized! If you felt like the last month took everything up in the air, flailed it around, and dropped it in whole new places - don't worry, because this next season is here to help you lean into harmony, justice, balance, coherence, and connections to bring everything back into order.We have several planets in strong placements this month too, which means that the work and progress we've been striving for is about to get a big boost of momentum. Overall, I'm excited for this month, and I hope you are too – it'll be packed with great community vibes, really cathartic experiences, lots of focused motivation, and generally some charged energy.Mentioned:Constellations Scorpio season coming soonDeepening into Spirit w.

It is such an honor to have this chat with my long time friend, teacher and mentor Lindsay Fauntleroy! Lindsay is the founder of The Spirit Seed School, where she brings her knowledge of indigenous healing modalities, alternative medicines, and threads of connecting to spirit all together to support creators and leaders to heal in their own right. In this episode we talk about her journey to entrepreneurship, the evolutions of her business and how she's traversed them, her mission and vision for why her work in this world of colonialism, patriarchy, sexism, and division is so necessary, and so, so much more. She ends with a pledge that is a prayer for all of us, that had me in tears as we wrapped up our convo.

Everyday fear (not the kind of fear that arises when we're actually physically in danger) can sometimes operate under the surface – informing our decisions, directing our responses, and moving us in specific directions with us really knowing it.Especially when we're in the middle of big life transitions and transformations, fear of not knowing what's ahead is naturally likely to crop up.In this episode I dissect the physical, mental, and energetic components of fear, so that when it arises for you, you can more easily turn your awareness towards it, and know how to manage it. Note: this episode is not for anyone who is experiencing immediate or literal danger, or is struggling with phobia. Please seek profession support in both instances.

It's officially eclipse season friends!This last eclipse series of 2025 harkens us back to Spring of 2025 and Fall of 2024 – there's a theme of growth and unravelling in a part of your life and it's getting a boost of stimulation this coming month.The Pisces eclipse at the North Node on September 7th ushers in a new layer of connectivity, openness to possibility, and dissolving of boundaries that have kept us from the unification we're naturally born to desire. This moment might have you feel like you're spiraling a bit, but you can trust that after the dizzy spell dies down, you'll be on the path you need to now walk.This eclipse connects back to the eclipse in Pisces on Sept 18, 2024 and will connect to the eclipse on Aug 28, 2026.The Virgo eclipse at the South Node on September 21st as for us to continue a similar theme – of consciously (or unconsciously) shaking up the systems and structures and compartmentalized parts of our lives that have been holding us back from deeper connection, unification, understanding and fairness. This will likely be represented in the collective, but also within yourself. What defense mechanisms supported you and created safety for you in the past, but are no longer helping your energy now?This eclipse story connects back to the eclipse in Virgo on March 14, 2025, and will connect to the upcoming eclipses in Virgo on March 3, 2026 and Feb 20, 2027.Mentioned:⁠⁠Constellations⁠⁠ with ⁠⁠Jess Ellen Astrology⁠⁠How to work with the current big planetary shiftsConnect with me:⁠⁠ASTROLOGY READINGS⁠⁠⁠⁠LIFE COACHING⁠⁠⁠⁠SUBSTACK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠PINTEREST⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠THREADS⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WEBSITE⁠

Welcome Virgo Season/ eclipse season!This month I have a very special cohost and fellow astrologer, life coach, yoga teacher, Jess, with me to explore and translate the very full energy of Virgo season - because everything is better with friends!This new season begins officially on August 22nd, but the Virgo New Moon on August 23rd fully initiates us into the tone shift. From there we have multiple planets changing signs, Uranus stationing retrograde, and (perhaps the most important of all) two eclipses!What does this all mean?This month is a turbulent, friends. Everything is going to be getting shaken up. But if I had to sum it up into a few main themes I mention – unboundaried compassion, experimentation and play in relationship, undoing patterns and wounds of perfectionism, affirming ways to embody heart-centered energy, and major beginnings and endings. Everything is on deck.Don't want to navigate Virgo season alone? Join Constellations for a communal exploration of every single transit – so you can land with the energy as it's unfolding in the sky, and in your life (relationships, work, family, resources, etc) and now how to work with it in real time.The more resourced and supported you are for the rollercoaster energy of this month, the more you'll step out of Virgo season with hair do in tact, sunglasses still on, and a bounce in your step even after the wild ride.Mentioned:⁠Constellations⁠ with ⁠Jess Ellen Astrology⁠Key dates:08.22 Sun enters Virgo 08.23 New Moon - Virgo 0°08.25 Venus enters Leo (through 9.20)08.27 Venus in Leo opposes Pluto Rx in Aquarius09.01 Saturn Rx re-enters Pisces (through 2.13.26)09.02 Mercury enters Virgo (through 9.18)09.06 Uranus stations Rx (through 02.04.26)09.07 Full Moon Lunar Eclipse Total - Pisces 15°09.13 Sun conjunct Mercury in Virgo09.17 Mercury in Virgo opposes Saturn Rx in Pisces09.18 Mercury enters Libra (through 10.6)09.19 Venus enters Virgo (through 10.14)09.21 New Moon Solar Eclipse Partial - Virgo 28° opposition Saturn Rx in Pisces09.22 Monday Sun enters Libra

It’s been 5 weeks since I’ve been on IG, and here’s what I’ve learned:My brain craves stimulation and will reach for it every opportunity it gets. Not every thought that becomes conscious in my mind is mine to own (or share). Habits require conscious interruptions if they’re ever going to change. Third spaces are our keys to creating social resilience. We have to spend time with people that we didn’t choose to necessarily be with if we’re ever going to save society.In this episode I chat through all the ways I’m witnessing my brain change in real time as I spend more and more time away from this platform. And how in the “de-conditioning”, I’m discovering all the value I’ve been craving – via other outlets of connection, and self-expression.At the end of this episode I leave you with the question:What are you unconsciously choosing (that’s actually not in alignment for you) and that has you too scared to go against the grain?Mentioned:Leaving IG Substack pt. 1Leaving IG Substack pt. 2Constellations SeptemberConstellations August (free)My chat with Jess on her podcast about making choices aligned with your valuesConnect with me:⁠ASTROLOGY READINGS⁠⁠LIFE COACHING⁠⁠SUBSTACK⁠⁠⁠PINTEREST⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠THREADS⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠WEBSITE⁠

Now that I'm officially off of IG for the foreseeable future, I'm bringing some of my personal like updates to the pod!After a month of hosting friends and family, throwing big gatherings at the house, and generally being way more social that usual, I'm digesting everything that's been shifting in my day to day life, my sense of identity, and my understanding of my roles in community online and IRL. I chat the energetic influence of Uranus in Gemini, the Saturn-Neptune conjunct in Aries, and Pluto in Aquarius and how these major planetary placements are impacting me, my clients, and also you – and most importantly how we can work with them so they don't work us.Comment and let me know if you've also been feeling the big shifts in your own life, and be sure to check out Constellations for astro support through August and beyond.Mentioned:Uranus in Gemini substack articleUncategory by Xanthe Appleyard & Lois MacSocial Change Ecosystem MapConstellationsFreedom epsConnect with me on:ASTROLOGY READINGSLIFE COACHINGSUBSTACK⁠PINTEREST⁠ ⁠THREADS⁠ ⁠WEBSITE

I have the pleasure of hosting the incredible Kaitlyn Kessler!Being in Kaitlyn’s orbit has been so inspiring simply because she exudes this level of alignment in all of her work and communication. It's alignment that’s not just beautiful, but it's also subtly ultra bold and very brave.  We recorded this episode a few months ago before she made the massive move to Spain from Charlotte, SC. It’s so fun to listen back and hear her declarations of what she was anticipating her life to look like once she landed in Europe, and to now be witnessing all of that unfolding for her in real time. We talk a lot in this episode about the power of telling your own story, and we go back and forth between the benefits of being seen in public and also how scary it is to put yourself out there, and  be seen.  You can find Kaitlyn on her:WebsiteInstagramSubstackSpacious PodcastWanting in Public PodcastThanks for tuning in!

This month we're invited to explore the intersection of leadership, community, and responsibility. With Mercury still retrograde in Leo and Saturn in Aries influencing the Full Moon in Aquarius, the first half of the month invites you to examine your long-term plans, structural power dynamics, and your role as a leader, particularly within community contexts.This Full Moon wants to ask you: How do we balance personal authority with collective responsibility?The New Moon in Virgo continues this theme by offering a potent time to reflect on how you communicate, express your ideas, and lead with integrity.Virgo’s earthy practicality supports grounding these ideas into real, tangible practices — but with Uranus squaring the lunation, you’re also invited to be bold and visionary, shake up stale narratives, and ditch perfectionism in favor of purpose-driven presence.Key Dates:08.09 Full Moon in Aquarius08.23 New Moon in Virgo

Welcome Leo Season!Officially beginning July 22nd, this month includes a Mercury RX, along with several planet ingresses (sign changes) – many of which activate the Saturn–Neptune conjunction in Aries.What does this all mean?We’re going be reviewing a lot of the ways in which we do things, the ways in which we show up and demonstrate leadership, how we express ourselves and find harmony in our relationships, and what we want to uphold in our ever evolving identities.And, if that doesn’t sound like enough fun, there’s also going to be even more erosion of systems and structures that used to make sense, but are in the process of being released for new things to be built.Mentioned:Astrology readings with meConstellations with Jess Ellen AstrologyKey dates:07.22 Sun enters Leo07.23 Sun sextiles Uranus07.24 New Moon - Leo 2° trine Saturn RX & Neptune RX and opposing Pluto07.31 Mercury RX conjunct the Sun in Leo & Venus enters Cancer (through aug 25)08.01 Venus squares Saturn RX & Neptune RX08.06 Mars enters Libra (through sept 22)08.08 Mars trine Uranus08.09 - 08.10 Full Moon - Aquarius 16° & Mars opposes Saturn RX & Neptune RX trine Pluto08.11 Mercury stations direct 4° Leo opposing Pluto and trine Saturn rx and Neptune rx08.12 Venus conjunct Jupiter in Cancer 14º08.14 & 8.18 Mercury sextile Mars08.22 Sun enters Virgo

Today I'm joined by fellow designer, creative, artist, and curiosity-follower Kristina Bleiler of Gem Creative Co. Kristina has been such an inspiration – since the moment I started following her I knew she brought a special playfulness, depth, and inquiry to the creative work she does.In our conversation we talk about the power of community - online and in person, her experience of growing up in the church, and how moving away from that foundation, and into a life emboldened by her own curiosity, guided her to be an entrepreneur and leader with integrity and openness.Kristina was such a joy to chat with, and I hope you get as many gold nuggets out of this episode as I did!You can find Kristina via:WebsiteInstagramSubstackThreads

This week's episode is inspired, not just by the day this episode drops (July 4th) but also the conversations I've been having lately in my communities and with myself.Questions like:What makes you feel free?How are you restricting your own freedom?What inner division, insecurity, doubt, or violence are you waging against yourself that is keeping your from your own liberation?In this episode I explore the ways in which we can not only find freedom within ourselves, but also how we can use our freedoms and privileges to support others in being able to access their own.Freedom is not something that is given to us – we have to protect it.Mentioned:On Being w.

In this midyear episode the lunations ask us to assess our long-term visions, and definitions of embodied leadership.The polarity of Cancer and Capricorn is highlighted during the Capricorn Full Moon, and we're invited to examine how practical ambition and inner nourishment must work together. It's also a great moment to reflect on what you’ve built so far this year, what you’re still devoted to, and how your body can serve as a compass for what truly matters. The Leo New Moon forms a tense opposition with Pluto in Aquarius, triggering deep questions about power, leadership, and identity. Reflect on themes from early November, January, and April to determine the emotional echoes or power dynamics that might be resurfacing around this time.Key Dates:07.10 Full Moon in Capricorn07.24 New Moon in Leo

I loved this recording with Kristine from @wellwithkristine!! As a somatic coach and all around wonderful human, Kristine and I get into the nuances of the world of somatics – how her origins in the corporate world drove her directly into burnout and from that place of complete physical disassociation she found herself redirected into the magic of somatic therapy.In this episode we chat what it’s like to not live from the neck up, the power of healing in community, the magic of being Cancer suns (and having the same birthday I might add!), Kristine’s ambitions for making somatic therapy more accessible, and the bravery required for the business.I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I enjoyed chatting with Kristine!You can find Kristine at her following channels:InstagramWebsite

“Your growth isn’t linear” - is a phrase we’ve heard a million times, right? But what does it actually look like in a real experience? In this week’s episode I share a through line of cyclical growth via my own experience with yoga – of finding the practice, becoming a student, becoming a teacher, opening and running my own studio, closing that studio during the pandemic, up to today where I find myself having returned to being a student.I discuss what propelled each iteration, and also how even though it may look like I’ve lost what I grew, and maybe I’ve stepped backwards to where I’ve started, I’m still several layers progressed from where I began.This personal share is an invitation for you to get curious about your own spiral of growth, where you are on that path, where you’ve come from, and where you’re journeying towards.Mentioned in this episode:Identity Evolution workbookDefine your history to know where you’re going practice

This is the turning point of the year friends!!! After so many retrogrades, major planetary sign changes, eclipses, and general cosmic chaos – this is the point where the skies finally gift us some reprieve. This month is packed with abundant, generous, expansion, freedom-inducing Jupiter energy, and I'm so excited about all of it for all of us.The Full Moon in Sagittarius on June 11th is a peak moment of growth, stretching, and joy. You can ask yourself:What is my deeper “why”?Where have I been called to expand my perspective or release outdated beliefs?What wisdom am I gaining from my body?Then the best New Moon of the year, in Cancer, marks a key date for setting THE intentions that we want to see nurtured, fortified, and fed. You can ask yourself:What do I want to start again in terms of my emotional body?What parts of my inner home need refreshing or nurturing?What do I really want—what lights me up from the inside?I also go into reflection questions for each rising sign because this is SUCH a good New Moon, and I desperately want you to work with it. Wishing you all the most abundant June!Mentioned: Ep 012 Creating HomeMoon Sign SubstackTime stamps:6:17 Sagittarius Full Moon18:43 Cancer New Moon

My new friend, Rachel Levine, and I sit down for a rich conversation that is essentially all about how to listen, follow, and live devoted to your intuition. Rachel is a new connection, but she's quickly becoming a friend because her kindness, sincerity, and pure heart are palpable in all of our interactions. In this episode we discuss the magic of being a dog mom, the energetic difference between routine and ritual, how living with intention and ritual can and is accessible for everybody, the myriad of ways to invite yourself back into your experiences, and Rachel’s journey to discovering that a big part of her destiny is to be a community builder.You can connect with Rachel via:Her InstagramHer substackHer event on May 31st!Her websiteHer podcastHer apothecaryAlso mentioned in this episode - the incredible Xanthe Appleyard of Oh SierraTimestamps:8:13 The importance of being a dog mom 13:41 The energetic difference between routine and ritual 22:12 How ritual and coming back to yourself is accessible for everyone 29:49 Inviting all modalities we know and love into our work37:19 The journey back to community and building it intentionally47:58 Our self-made obstacles 52:36 Our obstacles are gateways 59:13 It's easier to make friends as an adult than they say
