What emerges when we alchemize honesty with kindness and respect?This week brings a profound invitation to experience our full spectrum humanity in its multicolored nature. Mercury goes retrograde in Aries, bringing intense energy without a much rhyme or reason. Venus and Neptune meet in blissful union for Venus's last few days in Pisces, before entering the fiery, potentially confrontational land of Aries. The Sun meets with the North Node, unveiling thematics of the eclipse season.I mentioned Elizabeth Gilbert's Letter from Love practice.  Sign up for my newsletter to read my essays and be the first to hear about new offerings here.If you've enjoyed and benefited from the podcast, I invite you to apply for private mentorship and coaching with me.

What are psychic skills? How might learning them assist in cultivating deep self-trust? How might the practice of finding neutrality help us navigate challenging times personally and collectively?I'm excited to share another conversation with therapeutic intuitive Natasha Levinger. Together, we explored what it means to remember ourselves and to connect with self-trust through the lens of developing psychic skills. We also discussed the topic of energetically working with our conditioning and societal expectations. Natasha's brilliant insights and her fresh, inventive approach to this work have both benefited and inspired me over the years we've known each other. Our conversations always lead somewhere interesting and profound, and this one is no exception. If you resonate with Natasha's work and you feel curious about exploring psychic skills, Natasha's new offering, A Spell of Remembering, is open for enrollment and will begin on March 25, 2024.

What is intuition? How might we account for the myriad ways our intuitive faculties speak to us? How and why do we develop a trustworthy relationship to intuitive experience?Join me for a deep and lively conversation exploring the topic of intuition with my guest Emily Sadowski, PhD, the author of What is Intuition?  While intuition is a familiar and frequently-used concept within the spiritual communities, a majority of the conversations I've seen have revolved around the 'how.' To me, Emily's work is unique because she also explores the 'what' and the 'why' of intuition with rigor, nuance, and a warm, open curiosity.We also explored topics like how she became interested in learning more about intuition, how getting curious about our intuition can lead us deeper into inquiries about consciousness, and how to integrate intuition into our daily personal & communal existence.Here's Emily's bio: Emily Sadowski, PhD writes, teaches, and coaches smart, sensitive leaders in cultivating their self-awareness and self-compassion so they can connect with their inner genius and trust their inner knowing.Join Emily's upcoming course TRUST, an Intuition Development Immersion, starting March 23, 2024.Emily also offers 1:1 coaching and monthly integration circles.

In the brokenness of our times, how might questioning our performance of love tickle pathways for new worlds to open? What fresh forms of connections can blossom when we collapse the hierarchy of loving into a mycelial network of loving? How might the steady cultivation of our individuated lexicon of love strengthen communal bonds?This is a devotional episode dedicated to the Empress of the Solar System, Beloved Venus, through the lens of their journey in Aquarius. To celebrate the last week of Venus's current transit in Aquarius (ps we have not one but TWO trips of Venus moving through Aquarius), I'm recording a contemplation of Venus's journey through the land of fixed air. Join me for my guest workshop inspired by Venus in Aquarius, VISIONARY OF LOVE, hosted by the incredible Kelsey Rose Tortorice. Read more about it here. The workshop is on Friday, March 8, 2024 at 4-6 PM EST / 1-3 PM PST. If you can't make it live, replay will be available! In this contemplation, I discussed the idea of harmonizing everyday personal acts of love with the Field of Love, war as a product of distorted love, rooting beauty standards in the vulnerability of True Love, and Love as the bedfellow of Mystery.  Sign up for my newsletter to read my essays and be the first to hear about new offerings here.If you've enjoyed and benefited from the podcast, I invite you to apply for private mentorship and coaching with me.
