In this bonus episode, I share everything you need to know about surviving Mercury's retrograde periods with grace and ease. Introducing Retrograde Revival Guide: my five week group program designed to help us lean into the challenges that Mercury retrograde tends to present, and come out of it with a stronger sense of self-expression, empowerment, and effectiveness. 

Over five weeks surrounding the Mercury retrograde, we will experiment with two things: bringing in a new, healthy, regenerative habit, while also detoxing from an old, unhelpful, unhealthy habit. Some people consider it good practice to "sacrifice" something to the god Mercury- this is kind of like that. It's the perfect opportunity to devote yourself to a new healthy habit, while also giving up something that isn't so great for you. 

But that's just the start! Each week includes lessons and workbooks on one of the Pillars of Personal Power- Mindfulness, Essentialism, Communication, Emotional Intelligence, and Staying in Alignment. Based on the evidence-based therapy program Dialectical Behavior Therapy, I share everything you need to know in digestible crash-courses so you can tune-up on the skills you needs to stay in your Power, even when mishaps and miscommunications throw you off your course. 

With Retrograde Revival Guide, Mercury's retrograde periods offer an opportunity to refine your daily habits, tune-up on your communication skills, stop self-sabotage in it's tracks, and tend to your physical and digital spaces, with support and intention, three to four times each year. The more you practice it, the easier it becomes, and Mercury retrograde may actually become something you look forward to! 

We begin Monday 12/18/2022, and enrollment will officially close 12/25/2022 at 12am MST.

ep. 31 In this week’s episode, I share a tarot reading for the collective that emphasizes the importance (and the difficulty) of acknowledging, honoring, trusting, and Be-ing in our Power. Then, the Expansive Astrology for the week is inspired by Sagittarius energy. This week, a discussion on Soul Alignment and allowing expansion even when the brain is full of contraction. Finally, this week’s astrological forecast breaks down where the planets are hanging out in the sky, and the moon’s activity for the week. And, as always, I remind you of your standing invitation to my next Moon Circle- this one will be 12/18 for the new moon in Capricorn.

In this week’s episode, I share a tarot reading for the collective that happens to be very on-theme with today’s episode all about balance! The six of swords reminds us the importance of being witnessed and held by others, while the Hierophant reminds us to look to our own inner wisdom for the guidance we seek. The Star arrived as our lesson, teaching us radical self-tending. Our anchor is both the Queen of Cups and the Ace of Wands- two energies on opposite ends of the spectrum that help us touch in with our power and leadership in unique ways. Then, Libra’s gift of balance sparks a discussion on the dialectics in life, how to find comfort in the grey areas, and how to get your brain on board.

Finally, I share an opportunity to win a free tarot reading!
