Amy and Kat got a voicemail from Melanie in Knoxville about her current life status. She shares a home and two kids with her partner. They even got engaged somewhere along the way, but there’s still no wedding. While Melanie is mostly okay with that, questions around faith, last names, and what to call their relationship keep bubbling up. Does it even matter if they never make it official? Amy and Kat share their thoughts and personal experiences, and hopefully after listening, Melanie will have a better idea of what feels right for her.

Amy and Kat are feeling tired and in need of a reset. Enter: Sky Journaling! It’s a creative exercise that blends mindfulness with doodling and ends in some very honest cloud-inspired poems. They also break down the difference between pop psychology vs actual psychology, unpacking commonly used (especially on social media) terms like trauma bonding, gaslighting, and being triggered. And finally, inspired by a school activity Amy’s son is doing, they invite you to “find a win” (big or small) because sometimes, showing up at all is the victory.

In today’s episode of Write Your Story with Ally Fallon, I share a metaphor I’ve been using in my yoga classes lately that has served me in the rest of my life, too.  

If you’re new here, or if you missed it, I’m teaching yoga! For now it’s one each week at Hot Yoga of East Nashville, a free / donation based 60 minute flow class on Fridays at 4:30. If you’re in Nashville or if you come to visit, come see me at the studio!

Sign up for class for free on the MindBody app. 

I’m learning so much from returning to my yoga practice and from teaching. I’m reminded that my relationship to one thing is my relationship to everything, and so the lessons I learn in practice carry over to my life off the mat. 

I’m sharing one of those lessons in today’s episode.

In this episode of Soul Sessions with Amanda Rieger Green:

July 2025 brings powerful astrological currents with Saturn Retrograde and Mercury Retrograde guiding us through a period of deep introspection and self-redefinition. These shifts, along with a transformative New Moon in Leo, encourage us to cultivate a deeper sense of presence and authenticity.

Key Astrological Dates for July (Part 2):

• July 10th: Full Moon in Capricorn (Join Amanda for a FREE Full Moon Ceremony!)
• July 13th: Saturn Retrograde at nearly 2 degrees of Aries
• July 18th - August 11th: Mercury Retrograde at 15 degrees of Leo
• July 22nd: Sun enters Leo
• July 24th: New Moon in Leo at 3:11 PM ET at 2 degrees
• July 30th: Chiron Retrograde at 26 degrees of Aries

Missed Part 1 of the July Numerology & Astrology Forecast? Listen now.

Beginning July 13th, Saturn Retrograde in Aries initiates a slow, introspective phase that focuses on maturity, responsibility, and practical action, prompting us to re-evaluate our foundations. It highlights the divine masculine as an inclusive force of drive and secure presence, emphasizing authentic, organic flow over rigid control. 

From July 18th to August 11th, Mercury Retrograde in Leo will dampen external creative expression and soften the ego's voice. While Leo typically "roars," this retrograde encourages a more subtle, heart-centered approach to self-expression. It's a time for revision, not launching new projects, allowing you to refine how you genuinely share your light.

As the Sun enters Leo on July 22nd, a desire for playfulness emerges. Embrace this summertime fun vibe with enjoyable activities that balance your masculine and feminine energies.

The New Moon in Leo on July 24th at 3:11 PM ET calls for stillness and amplifying your light from within. It signifies a rebirth of authentic self-expression, shifting your energy towards presence over performance. Use this time to set intentions for showing up unapologetically and reclaiming joy as a sacred practice.

Chiron Retrograde begins July 30th in Aries, surfacing wounds around identity, ego, anger, and rage. Chiron, the wounded healer, reminds us that sharing our deepest traumas can lead to healing for ourselves and others.

Chiron's conjunction with Asteroid Ares brings divine discord to reveal truth and force issues to a head. This period is about being forged by fire, stripping away old layers to birth your divine warrior. Reclaim your sacred rage—allowing passion and anger to flow through you honorably, without directing it at others. 

This is a beautiful time to reorient your core power. What does presence feel like to you? What are you truly present for, and what is your presence radiating? Your gift lies in the present moment.

Amy and Kat explore the subtle (and not-so-subtle) pressures women feel and how easy it is to get caught in the cycle of “doing all the things” to feel worthy. Inspired by the book Rich Girl Nation, Kat breaks down the idea of the “hot girl hamster wheel” and what it’s costing us (not just financially, but emotionally!) They talk about the power of opting out or just simply learning to do something because you actually WANT to do it (and you can afford to do it) not because you feel like you have to! 

Also in this episode:

• The “choose your hard” list you didn’t know you needed

• Embarrassing moments that shouldn’t be embarrassing

• A listener’s card-free journal tradition that could be a Hallmark movie

Write Your Story with Ally Fallon: Human beings have a primal need that we don’t often talk about. 

It’s not food or water or love, although we need those things too. 

It’s the human need that drives you to watch Netflix, scroll Instagram, gasp at a text message that says, “you’ll never guess what happened!?” and even binge a great audiobook (the three I mention in the episode are in the notes below).  

And yet unlike food, water and love, this primal need often gets overlooked. 

No wonder we’re depressed or bored or dysregulated or overwhelmed. We’re treating a basic need we have like it’s secondary; and that oversight is costing us. 

I invite you to find ways to bring back this “lost” art so we can rediscover meaning, clarity and connection in our lives.

What's God Got To Do With It? With Leanne Ellington:

In the second episode titled "God In the Good," we pick up as Mattie Jackson continues sharing her transformative journey after losing her 28-year-old husband to a traumatic brain injury three weeks shy of their first wedding anniversary. She shared an inside peek behind her own healing process, and how God helped her shift her focus from everything she lost to everything she still had. In the midst of unthinkable tragedy, Mattie shares how she faced the challenges of moving beyond survival, facing grief, sorrow, and trauma, and rebuilding life with hope.

But God showed her life beyond this tragedy -- one that she could have never imagined....until she was ready for it. 

She eventually found purpose in her grief, and shared the power of turning "your mess into your message" and finding fulfillment in impacting others who are struggling in similar ways. Through her work with Nashville (the non-profit she co-founded to support widows and orphans) and writing a memoir, Mattie found purpose, honoring her late husband's legacy and demonstrating the transformative potential of choosing joy amid pain.

She also shares about her journey to finding love again after the death of her husband. As she delves into her own redemption story, Mattieie shares how God not only redeemed her personal life but also her purpose-filled professional life, and now she truly believes in the coexistence of pain and joy, sharing her belief that when one has the courage to delve into the depths of pain, joy's well gets deeper

Soul Sessions with Amanda Rieger Green: July is an incredibly potent and transformative month, acting as both a transitional period and a powerful frequency portal. You might experience moments of confusion, but these are often signs of a sacred initiation, guiding you through a profound shift.

This month amplifies the themes of 2025, a 9 universal year in numerology, signifying endings and drastic, dynamic change. Consider what's being stripped away in your life, allowing you to resonate more deeply with your soul essence. Old contracts and conditions that no longer serve your highest good are dissolving. 

Actionable Wisdom for July:

- Prioritize Solitude: Create dedicated time for inner reflection and connection.

- Practice Self-Care: Engage in activities that rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul.

- Listen to Your Body: Pay close attention to its responses, especially with the heightened energies.

- Trust the Dissolving Process: Release what no longer serves you with grace.

- Embrace Stillness: This is your anchor amidst the energetic shifts.

- Connect with Your Soul: Your inner wisdom and guides are your strongest allies.

July itself is a 7 universal month in numerology. The combination of the 9-year and 7-month energy creates a powerful "hermit" archetype. Solitary time is crucial for receiving "aha" and expansive moments. This doesn't mean isolating yourself, but rather consciously creating daily space to go within and rejuvenate. Remember to connect with your soul, your intuition and spirit guides are powerful sources of communication during this time.

Key Astrological Dates for July (Part 1):

July 4th: Neptune Stations Direct in Aries – This signifies an actionless initiation, where deep inner movement occurs even when you feel still. 

July 4th: Venus Enters Gemini – This transit brings a playful, flirty energy to love and relationships. It encourages creativity and a willingness to let your desires change. 

July 7th: Uranus Enters Gemini – Expect a profound upgrade to the collective nervous system and a significant surge of energy. Stillness and self-care are paramount to avoid feeling overwhelmed. 

July 10th: Full Moon in Capricorn (4:37 PM ET) – This powerful full moon illuminates what burdens and responsibilities you might be carrying that were never truly yours. This is also an excellent time to revisit your long-term vision (5-10 years) and ensure your daily routines align with your desired legacy.
