    14. Embracing Change + Trusting Your Intuition

    Without our intuition, who are we? Recorded before the LA fires, before our life was turned upside down, before the inauguration, before we knew what was headed our way… I find it ironic that we chose the topic of Embracing Change before we even knew how much was coming. I start Episode 14 a bit differently this time to share a small bit of context to what part two may look like. Welcome back, and thanks for listening. Please, if you feel compelled to give, our GoFundMe link is below. As we restart our lives from scratch, we thank you for any contribution. 🙏 See you next time as we reveal what happened in the crazy month of January! ✨✨✨ GOFUNDME: https://gofund.me/56baf684 Astyl TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@astyling.life PIR TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@playitrealpodcast Instagram: ⁠instagram.com/sydrae.o⁠ Astyl Instagram: ⁠instagram.com/astyling.life⁠ Astyl Website: ⁠astyling.life⁠ Spotify playlist: ⁠https://open.spotify.com/playlist/40dQTQmJRLsyzVaSBulVwU?si=ve77CH3ySbqPN4e2z-6lqw&pi=u-IyZ92OV5S_qQ⁠ Leave a text or voicemail here: 805-395-2172

    6. Anger, Christianity, and Politics.

    We’re all enraged, right? This week on The Play It Real Podcast, we’re talking a bit about anger, but more about what to do about it. There’s a lot to feel, but even more to learn and step into. One of those things being: Our Power. Especially as women, it’s time we step into our highest, most authentic, real, and powerful self. Wake up and start your journey.
