Breathe In, Scream Out

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.

In this week’s episode, Katie Healy returns with a fiery, heart-opening breakdown of Sagittarius season and why this final full moon of 2025 is inviting us to let go of the narratives that no longer serve who we’re becoming. As the teacher of the zodiac—ruled by Jupiter—Sagittarius energy invites expansion, while its sister sign Gemini brings curiosity and quick wit. Katie explores how these two forces interact and ultimately shape the overall energy of this season.

With her own chart rich in Sag, Katie offers an honest look at its shadow side, from the pressure to have all the answers to the instinct to protect oneself through certainty. She dives into the archetype itself: half human, half beast, and the only sign carrying a weapon (for her, that weapon may or may not be her mouth!).

Tune in for the ultimate birthday episode, rich in wisdom and grounding!

Key dates:

• Full Moon in Gemini on December 4
• New Moon in Sagittarius on December 19

Katie explores: 

• The importance of being a “villager”
• Reflections on Scorpio season
• Navigating the Full Moon in Gemini

Katie and Aude explore the balance between healthy skepticism and deep inner knowing, and why trusting your intuition doesn’t mean abandoning logic—it means learning how to listen to yourself again. 

Aude shares the profound rock bottom moment that activated her purpose and how ancient the energetic practice, Reiki became the catalyst for realignment. This conversation is for anyone who wants to blend the modern world with ancient spiritual practice, navigate intuitive decision making, and explore a more empowered way of living and leading.

Katie dives into the theme of discomfort, specifically what it means to sit with what’s hard instead of rushing to escape it. We live in a world that resists discomfort at every turn. The moment something feels uneasy, we grab our phones, open the fridge, scroll, or disassociate. But what if this season is inviting us to stay?

Welcome to Scorpio season, where transformation, truth, and depth take center stage. Scorpio (the eighth sign of the zodiac!) rules the realms of death, rebirth, and transformation. It’s fixed water energy: intense, emotional, and unflinching in its desire to go beneath the surface.

This month’s Full Moon in Taurus (November 5) and New Moon in Scorpio (November 19/20) bring a mix of grounding and depth. Taurus, another fixed sign, reminds us to root into the abundance we already have—while Scorpio invites us to explore what’s hidden, to meet the parts of ourselves we’ve avoided, and to trust the wisdom that lives within. 

In this conversation, Katie explores:

• How our constant need to self-soothe keeps us disconnected from growth
• What it means that Scorpio rules the 8th house 
• Understanding fixed energy (Scorpio + Taurus) 
• How Scorpio energy asks us to meet the hidden parts of ourselves with honesty 
• The difference between transforming to grow + transforming out of fear of being yourself
• Exploring the shadow side of Scorpio (control, anger, possessiveness, obsession)
• The shadow side of Taurus (overindulgence, stubbornness, attachment to comfort)
• The emotional fatigue of constant transformation + the cultural pressure to “evolve”
• Why slowing down is not regression, but an act of deep trust

In this raw conversation, Katie Healy sits down with Eden Marryshow, an award-winning filmmaker, writer, and actor from Flatbush, Brooklyn. Inspired by a student, “Peanut” Bilbro, who always believed in him, he left teaching after her tragic passing to pursue filmmaking—creating the acclaimed Bruce!!! and now completing Can You Stand the Rain.

Katie and Eden unpack the fantasy of “arriving” versus the lived reality of uncertainty, failure, and rebirth. Eden shares how he reframed failure as a form of death. It’s a necessary shedding that clears space for what’s next. They reflect on how Western culture’s fear of death limits not only our understanding of loss, but our relationship with creativity and meaning. They also dive into the connection between pain and purpose, and why processing trauma is essential for creating art that heals. 

The convo ends on hope, which in its truest form is a radical act of empathy. If we want to build a world that’s worth living in, we have to uplift stories that remind us that it is.

In this conversation, they explore:

• Eden’s life story
• Leaving a job that doesn’t fulfill you to chase a deeper calling
• Redefining failure and success
• Why Western culture misunderstands death and loss
• Turning pain into purpose through creativity
• The power of empathy, hope, and storytelling
• Confidence vs. arrogance
• Why “irrational confidence” might be the key to making your dreams real

In this episode of Breathe In, Scream Out, host Katie Healy explores the energy of Libra season, which began on September 22 and ends October 22, and is marked by the Aries Full Moon on October 6 and the Libra New Moon on October 21. 

After the WILD rollercoaster that was eclipse season (is everyone ok?!), we’re moving through an integration period that invites us to recalibrate, ground, and find balance again. Libra, an air and cardinal sign ruled by Venus, reminds us that balance is not a destination but an action. Represented by the scales, Libra energy invites beauty, harmony, and the right relationship back into motion. Yet with that beauty also comes the shadow: self-erasure, avoidance, or seeking harmony at the expense of truth. 

As we move through this season, we’re asked to see balance as a living practice rather than a perfect state.

In this conversation, Katie explores:

• The energetic significance of Libra season and its connection to balance + beauty
• How the Aries Full Moon inspires boldness, authenticity, and decisive action
• Why waiting for the “perfect moment” is an illusion
• The ongoing integration period after eclipse season and what it means for realignment
• Releasing the need to shape-shift to fit others or to play small
• Finding your center through relationships and community
• How to embody balance as an ongoing action, not a steady state

Breathe In, Scream Out is produced by Marielle Marlys. 

In this episode of Breathe In, Scream Out, host Katie Healy welcomes Trish Barillas, a Certified Life Coach with over 20 years of experience helping people move through anxiety, heartbreak, and life transitions with strength and clarity.

Trish’s story is deeply personal: she’s lived with anxiety since she was five, grew up as a parentified child of Guatemalan immigrants, and has navigated her own journey with medication, grief, and identity.

She shares wisdom from her Guatemalan roots, where grief is not hidden away but honored through sacred traditions of life, community, and love. Grounded in those values, she’s built a coaching practice that is both compassionate and results-driven—reminding us that true healing isn’t just about talking, but about doing the work to create real change.

In this conversation, Katie and Trish explore:

• When is your suffering enough? 
• Why medication can be a game-changer
• How you should advocate for yourself in the healthcare system
• The role of culture, tradition + spirituality in understanding grief + celebrating life
• Why breakups can be powerful teachers if you allow them to be
• The truth about change (it’s uncomfortable, but it’s also the path to growth)
• Why suffering is not a life sentence
• The importance of building peace into your everyday life

Trish reminds us that mental health cannot be put on the back burner, because eventually our bodies will demand we pay attention. This episode is an empowering reminder that while anxiety may not be a choice, healing and growth always are!

Both the Sun and the Moon have been eclipsed! Historically, this was a time that ancient people once feared signaled the end of the world. But in astrology, eclipses are never about endings alone; they’re invitations into accelerated change, healing, and new beginnings. Astrology is information—a way of experiencing the cosmos, the people around us, and ourselves in real time. And right now, the sky is rich with lessons. Key dates to recall:

• Two New Moons in Virgo (Aug 23 + Sept 21 partial solar eclipse)
• A powerful Pisces Full Moon on Sept 7 (bringing release, endings, and illumination)
• Saturn moving through Pisces until Feb 13 (and won’t be back here for 28 years!)

In this episode, Katie explores:

• Why new moons open doors to beginnings, full moons close cycles, and eclipses amplify it all
• The Virgo–Pisces axis: balancing discernment, discipline, and structure (Virgo) with surrender, intuition, and creativity (Pisces)
• Virgo’s shadow of perfectionism and “never enough” thinking, and how embracing your imperfections can be your truest gift
• Pisces’ shadow of escapism and illusion, and how to ground your dream state into reality
• The reminder that you cannot lose what is truly yours (trust that what’s unfolding is exactly as it should be!)
• Why eclipse energy feels like life is “sped up”
• How to release repeating patterns and illusions under the Pisces Full Moon
• The importance of processing emotions somatically instead of bypassing them
• The North Node & South Node: soul lessons versus innate gifts
• How this Pisces Full Moon eclipse will affect you, based on your rising sign

The message of this Virgo season? Stop waiting for life to be perfect. Stop waiting for the fairytale version of what you thought it should be. The more we try to control or escape, the louder the discomfort becomes. This is all there is… and that’s the beauty of it.

Grief is the one guarantee we all share, and yet as a society, we often don’t know how to face it. In this episode of Breathe In, Scream Out, host Katie Healy sits down with Brie Bednarski, a spiritual counselor who blends depth psychology, somatic healing, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and earth wisdom to guide people through soul-level transformation.

Together, Katie and Brie explore the ways grief cracks us open to life, love, and transformation. Brie shares her deeply personal story of losing both her mother and father, her journey through rock bottom and suicidal thoughts, and the tools that helped her find her way back, like plant medicine, somatic healing, and learning to honor every part of herself.

This conversation reminds us that grief isn’t something to “get over.” It’s something to metabolize and live alongside.

They talk about:

• Brie’s story of losing both of her parents 
• Why we live in a grief-illiterate society (and how we can change that)
• The connection between death, aliveness, and transformation
• How somatic healing and IFS help us regulate and honor all parts of ourselves
• Brie’s experience with medicinal microdosing as part of her grief journey
• The language of intuition and how to follow what lights you up
• What becomes possible when we learn to sit with grief rather than suppress it
