Katie is back and she kicks off her return with a vulnerable life update. Then, sits down with astrologer Sophie Williams for a rich, nuanced conversation about astrology as a tool for radical self-acceptance and discovery.

What begins as a breakdown of birth charts and planetary placements evolves into something much deeper: a reclamation of both the light and dark within us. Sophie shares her personal journey into astrology and how studying the planets transformed the way she understands relationships, family patterns, and her own inner world.

In this episode, they explore:

1. What astrology actually is (and what it isn’t)
2. Sophie’s journey into astrology
3. The foundations of the birth chart
4. A deep look at Mercury, Venus + Mars
5. The role of the rising sign and how we “show up”
6. What it really means to be “compatible” (and why opposites can create powerful chemistry)
7. Why “challenging” placements aren’t punishments, but invitations into growth and self-awareness
8. The idea that we don’t have to constantly “heal” or optimize ourselves to live a good life
9. Embracing both the light and shadow in your chart as a path toward wholeness
10. Sophie’s Liberating Astrology Certification and her mission to teach astrology in an empowering and integrative way

This episode is a reminder that astrology isn’t about labeling yourself or predicting your fate. It’s about understanding your complexity, honoring contradictions, and learning to live in fuller alignment with who you already are.
