For this conversation, I was joined by New York City-based astrologer, Mecca Woods. Mecca and I chatted about what astrology is, how to find and use our birth chart, how astrology can be used in personal development, what we might expect for 2021, and of course she shared all of her favorite resources for anyone who may want to learn more.Resources MentionedVisit our Amazon Store for all the books mentioned on the podcast!Find Your Natal ChartTime PassagesSanctuary AppAstroGuide by ViceAstrologers.comAstro.comWhere to Find Meccahttps://www.mylifecreated.com/Instagram: @1meccanismTwitter: @TheMeccanismFacebook: @MyLifeCreatedStay ConnectedIs there a topic you'd like covered on the podcast?

Today we’re joined by Dr. Allycin Powell-Hicks to talk about seasonal affective disorder and how that might be heightening depressive symptoms you might have experienced in the past. Dr. Ally and I discussed tips for managing depressive symptoms, how we can tell if symptoms are something we should be concerned about, how to support ourselves in this very different holiday season, and some of the relationship challenges that have arisen during the pandemic and how to manage them.Resources MentionedVisit our Amazon Store for all the books mentioned on the podcast!Where to Find Dr. Allyhttps://www.allycinhicks.com/Instagram: @allycinhicksTwitter: @allycinhicksStay ConnectedIs there a topic you'd like covered on the podcast?
