In the Season One finale of Fire Moon Rising,
The Woman finds herself standing on a bridge - not at the beginning, not at the end, but somewhere in between.

This episode is quieter than the others.
More spacious.
A pause at the edge of the year.

It’s a story about time - the timelines we inherit, the milestones we’re taught to measure ourselves against, and the quiet pressure to believe we’re “behind” when our lives don’t follow a prescribed path.

As a millennial woman, The Woman has learned to read her worth through productivity, stability, and achievement - even when those systems were never designed to hold her fully.
The bridge invites her to loosen her grip on borrowed clocks and listen instead to what her body already knows.

Guided by the Water Bearer, softened by Lady Mist, and held beneath a rising Cancer Moon, she reflects on what this year took, what it gave, and what it taught her about trust, self-worth, and timing.

There are no resolutions here.
No productivity hacks.
No rituals to “fix” what feels unfinished.

Just an honest reckoning with a year that was fucking tough — and a gentle reminder that being mid-journey does not mean being late.

If you’re closing this year feeling tender, reflective, or unsure of where you stand - this episode is a place to rest.

What happens when you realise that visibility isn’t just about confidence - it’s about safety?

In this episode of Fire Moon Rising, I explore leadership, identity, and the quiet fear many of us carry around being truly seen at work - especially after years of reshaping ourselves to survive shifting systems.

Through myth and memory, the Woman walks through a glass corridor of past offices - moments of brilliance, silence, criticism, belonging, and loss - guided by Venus in Capricorn, the architect of worth, boundaries, and self-respect.

This episode weaves together:

• performance reviews and leadership wounds

• the long shadow of Pluto in Capricorn (2008–2024)

• the question many of us are afraid to ask: Is it safe to be myself here?

This is a story about knowing your value - and choosing to leave environments that can no longer hold it.

If you’ve ever been told you’re “too quiet,” “not visible enough,” or felt yourself dim to belong, this episode is for you.

What if the darkest part of the year wasn’t a punishment… but a turning point you can’t quite see yet?

In this episode of Fire Moon Rising, I take you back to two Solstices - December 2024 and June 2025 - and the tarot spread that helped me understand what the last six months had really been about. From a Zoom call where the “house of cards” at work began to shake, to a cold Sydney winter morning in my green, plant-filled room with coffee and a deck of cards, this is the story of a woman standing at the still point of the year and quietly realising: I survived all of that. Now what? You’ll hear how seven cards — the 3 of Wands, 7 of Wands reversed, Ace of Cups, King of Pentacles reversed, 8 of Wands, 10 of Swords, Page of Pentacles, and the Stargazer oracle- became a mirror for my worth, my burnout patterns, my stubborn hope, and the slow return of my own light. If you’re in your own in-between season, this is your invitation to pause, look back with honesty, and plant one small, honest seed for what’s next.

In this episode:The moment I realised the “stable” Well at work was already wobbling A Winter Solstice tarot spread that called out my sabotage and my softness Why the Page of Pentacles and “Stargazer” felt like permission to begin again If this one lands, I’d love you to share it with someone in their own rebuilding chapter, or leave a review so more women in the in-between can find it. 🌙 And if you're in your own in between of work and worth - check out my 30 coffees later ebook https://drive.google.com/file/d/1F162Bbx0UuK3nWWVMvqxVb37V6V1CG0U/view?usp=drive_link

What happens when the universe doesn’t ask you to push...but asks you to finally rest?

In this episode, the Woman finds herself on a quieter road than usual - the desert still warm from last week’s full moon, her Aries Moon flickering tired sparks, and Saturn stepping forward with that unmistakable blend of tough love and ancient wisdom.

This chapter weaves together a powerful dream of a wave big enough to drown a truth, a shark that was never a shark, and the slow, startling realisation that burnout doesn’t arrive loudly - it whispers first.

Through the lens of the waning moon energy, Saturn’s shift into direct motion, and the emotional fallout of months of uncertainty, this fable explores:

• what happens when your body says “enough,”
• why rest feels like failure for so many of us,
• the difference between momentum and survival mode,
• and how slowing down becomes a spiritual practice, not a setback.

If you’ve ever held yourself to impossible standards, kept performing “fine” while quietly falling apart, or pushed past every internal red flag because you thought you had to - this episode might feel like an exhale you didn’t know you needed.

It’s a permission slip.
A soft landing.
A reminder that you don’t have to earn your rest.

Listen now, and if this story meets you in the place you’re in,
I’d love to hear which moment landed in your body.

Two dates.
Two disasters.
One missing brick in the Well.

What looked like a bad dating week was actually the first cosmic nudge that everything under the surface was about to shift.

In this fable, The Woman returns to the desert highway to speak with the Water Bearer, Lady Mist, and the planets themselves - Gemini, Mercury Retrograde, and Neptune - as they reveal the truth behind that strange December week.

This is a story about self-worth, timing, cosmic rerouting, and why sometimes the universe says no so you don’t say yes to the wrong person.

If you’ve ever walked home feeling embarrassed, bruised, or questioning yourself - this one is for you✨

In this cinematic fable, I take you through the last five years of my life - not as job titles or timelines, but as wells, vessels, and the archetypal characters who walked beside me:

The Water Bearer, Everwind, Sage, Bean Bag… and the versions of myself I had to becomeand un-become along the way.

This episode explores money, worth, collapse, surrender, unexpected miracles, and what happens when every structure in your life falls apart - and somehow you’re still held.

If you’ve ever felt like you were the second choice, or terrified to receive what you once prayed for, or like yourentire life had to dismantle itself before anything real began… this one might be for you.

Next week: love, timing, and theuniverse’s inconvenient reroutes.

Welcome to the very first episode of Fire Moon Rising - a podcast about intuition, timing and the fire you rise from when you finally stop forcing life to happen. In honour of the Scorpio New Moon, I decided to do something terrifying (other than launching this podcast)

I Stopped Pushing

After 9 months of interviews, pressure, self-doubt and burnout - I stepped back completely.

And then the universe moved.

Two interviews appeared from thin air. And an offer.

In this interview I share:

• Why 'no pushing in November' chose me
• What Scorpio energy reveals about surrender
• How to recognise when your timeline is shifting
• And the small signs that you are guided

DM your takeaway, I'd love to hear if this episode lands in the place you've been trying to hold together.
