Where might I benefit from doing or having less?What do I need to release to actually enjoy a slower pace?These are the radical questions October asks us to contemplate.After the rebuilding of this past September, it’s tempting to try to move at a million miles per hour.Instead, October is about being with tension and building strength necessary to be with that tension.In this episode, I share three themes to return to, to be with, and to contemplate throughout October.Share your thoughts in the comments section!

How might returning to our spiritual foundations help us navigate the aftermath of eclipse season?How do we allow forgiveness to emerge, rather than treat it as yet another thing to achieve on our list?How do we consciously, intentionally leave the past behind?September asks us to consider these questions. After the cosmic re-arrangement of the eclipse, we’re invited to continue returning to our foundational practices to clear the debris and finally appreciate the space that’s emerging for the new._______Resources & LinksApply for private ongoing guidance.

This week feels different than the rest of the month. We’re building towards a Partial Lunar Eclipse in Pisces. And this one’s kind of a f****r. We’re humans with egos, so letting go isn’t always going to go down easy. In this episode, I shared some perspectives to make it suck a little less. I also make sure you have some practices you can return to when things get challenging. The end of the month brings fireworks with Jupiter in Leo trining Saturn in Aries. This transit asks you to try things out and follow your instincts, even if it feels scary.Astrologically, we’re now solidly exploring terrains with no map. The only compass you have is your own gut instinct. The past is not here anymore. Let’s wake up and birth the new.Let me know how this episode lands. I read every single comment.

When it comes to heart, we’ve been fucked by Disney.The heart is a ferocious organ of perception. It’s the center of wisdom, intelligence, and the repository of the person’s life.

The heart is the answer. But its intelligence may completely baffle you. In this episode, I share some signs that your heart is activating. These signs may be surprising because our minds aren’t accustomed to associating them with the heart. Let me know how this lands. I’m curious to hear your thoughts.

On the surface, Venus and Mercury are flirting, playing, and cajoling with the outer planets. But underneath, there’s a more profound lesson at play.Interdependence is a tricky concept. We’re so immersed in our resistance to skillful relationality, so we instead toggle back and forth between codependency and hyper-independence. How do we behave in ways that reflect the interconnected nature of our wellness, liberation, love, and truth? How do we collaborate without holding ourselves back? How do we truly and intentionally bring out the best in one another? I offer some practices here.

Welcome to August! We discussed three themes for August 2026: * Power is relational. * Prioritize your heart.* Surrender into the mystery. This month, we’re being asked to listen deeply. To pay attention to what truly wants to be communicated and expressed beyond the words. We’re also asked to understand and experience our heart expansion more deeply. The journey is ecstatic, euphoric, and sometimes excruciating, and the reward of choosing the heart is that new doors will open for you.Finally, we’re walking into eclipse season in August, and there’s major shedding that would like to occur in our lives. This is not failure. This is a graduation point. Stay close to your spiritual practice, trust the Inner Sage, and let the big emotions move through, so you can make space for the new.
