Happy new year my love!

Most years I find January is slow, chilled maybe even dragged out but 2025? Oh no honey. This year has personally and professionally just been flat out that before I knew it last week was the human design new year and now today is the Lunar New Year. If you’re an astrological girly you may find the 29th of March later this year new year because it’s the first new moon of the astrological calendar.

Either way can you feel it in the energy that 2025 is going to be big!? It’s the cosmic invitation of 2025: Year of the Snake, Aquarius New Moon, and Renewal Led by the Energy of The Moon (feminine in nature, emotional, fluctuating). Because I love you guys I’m going to give two sets of journaling prompts – journaling questions for the Aquarius New Moon and Year of the Snake.

Welcome to this special episode where I’m going to dive deep into the transformative energies surrounding the Lunar New Year, the Aquarius New Moon, and the year of the Snake in 2025. First of all I want you to take a moment to anchor and let it sink in the shifting tides of the collective, tune into your own inner compass, and step boldly into a year of innovation, evolution, and authenticity.

Let’s start with the Aquarius New Moon which aligns with the transformative rebirth driven aligned Pluto and fuelled by the expansive, curious energy of Jupiter in Gemini. This moon whispers: What are you ready to let go of? What do you need to birth into reality?

In the backdrop, January has already brought dynamic shifts.      Jupiter and Uranus turning direct have cleared the path for forward momentum, while the North Node in Pisces and South Node in Virgo guide us away from rigid perfectionism and into the flow of intuitive compassion. Uranus in Taurus continues to shake up the foundations of what we value—be it our relationships, careers, or the planet itself—asking us to redefine what truly matters.

Pluto, as always, demands deep transformation. It doesn’t let us hide in comfort zones or cling to outdated beliefs. Instead, it calls us to confront and dismantle what no longer serves, paving the way for a future built on liberation, truth, and aligned purpose.

Let’s start off the Aquarius new moon.

Aquarius is the dreamer and the innovator, urging you to step outside the box. This isn’t just about personal evolution—it’s about contributing to something greater than yourself. Aquarius thrives in community, collaboration, and shared purpose. This New Moon asks:

How can you create something bigger than yourself?

What are you ready to give back to the world?

How can you balance visionary dreaming with grounded, practical action?

When I channeled this particular Aquarius New Moon in 2025 it feels like a declaration that the future isn’t meant to look like the past. This is the moon phase that dares you to dream differently, break the mould, and embrace your quirks as your superpower. As the water bearer of the zodiac, Aquarius is the sign of innovation, rebellion, and collective progress. It challenges us to reimagine what’s possible, both individually and as a community.

This isn’t the kind of energy that wants to play by the rules or follow tradition. Aquarius thrives on thinking outside the box, colouring outside the lines, and asking questions that others wouldn’t dare to consider. Under this New Moon, you’re being asked to tap into your most unconventional ideas, those ones that feel just a little too weird or ahead of their time. What if those quirks are the very thing the world is waiting for?

On a personal level, the Aquarius New Moon is a time to rewrite the narrative. Who do you want to be in this new year? Not the version that checks the boxes or follows the “shoulds,” but the version of you that dares to be unapologetically authentic. Maybe it’s the year to take up that unconventional hobby, launch a passion project no one understands yet, or join a community that aligns with your values, even if it feels a little out there.

Aquarius also reminds us of the power of community, but not in the traditional sense of fitting into a group. It’s about finding your people—the ones who celebrate your weirdness and inspire you to see the world differently. This New Moon asks: where can you connect with like-minded souls who want to build something unique and meaningful together?

Most importantly, this New Moon carries the energy of rebellious hope. It’s not just about leaving behind the past year; it’s about daring to build a future that feels alive, liberated, and truly yours. This is your moment to embrace what makes you different and let it light the way forward. After all, in the age of Aquarius, the boldest moves often come from the quirkiest visions.

The energy of this new moon is forward-focused, but it doesn’t bypass the inner work.

What unique ideas or perspectives do you have that the world needs right now?

Aquarius energy thrives on innovation and originality. Reflect on how your individuality can spark meaningful change or inspire others.

In what areas of life are you ready to embrace your quirks instead of hiding them?

How can you contribute to a community or cause that aligns with your values?

What unconventional dream or project do you feel ready to pursue this year?

Where in your life are you ready to break the rules or defy expectations?

How can you think outside the box to solve a current problem or challenge?

How can you use technology or innovation to elevate your life or work?

What part of yourself feels the most misunderstood, and how can you begin to embrace it?

What does being part of something bigger than yourself look like for you?

Now, layer this New Moon energy with the wisdom of the Year of the Snake in the Chinese zodiac. Snakes are symbols of renewal, transformation, and hidden wisdom. Just like a snake sheds its skin, 2025 calls you to release what’s been weighing you down—whether it’s old habits, limiting beliefs, or unresolved fears. This year is about moving with intention and grace, listening to the whispers of your inner knowing, and stepping into a lighter, freer version of yourself.

The Snake doesn’t rush. Its power lies in its stillness, its ability to observe and strike when the moment is right. What areas of your life need that level of focus? Where can you move with more purpose, instead of rushing or reacting?

The Snake is the art of patience. The snake moves with purpose, never rushing, never acting impulsively. It teaches us to slow down, to listen, and to wait for the right moment before taking action. In a world that often demands instant results, the Snake’s energy asks us to trust in divine timing. This year is about cultivating quiet strength, tuning into your inner wisdom, and trusting that the seeds you plant will bear fruit when the time is right.

In Asian cultures and traditions whether it be Chinese, Vietnamese (my heritage line for example), the snake is revered as a symbol of intelligence, resilience, and love. Those born under this sign or influenced by its energy are often seen as resourceful and determined, willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish their goals.

In 2025, the Snake is associated with the element of Wood, which brings a unique layer of growth, flexibility, and vitality to its energy. Wood represents life force, expansion, and the ability to adapt to challenges with grace. Think of a tree—it grows upward, reaching for the light, yet its roots anchor it firmly in the earth. The Snake’s connection to Wood reminds us to ground ourselves in our values and truth while remaining open to the winds of change. Personal growth this year might feel like a gentle, steady unfolding rather than a dramatic leap.

Wood also amplifies the Snake’s intelligence and resourcefulness. This is a year to lean into creative solutions and innovative thinking (which aligns with the Aquarius New Moon – mmmm I love alignment!).

If you’ve been feeling stuck, the energy of the Wood Snake can guide you to break free from old patterns and explore new ways of approaching your challenges. It encourages you to embrace curiosity and trust your intuition as you navigate uncharted territory. With resilience and intention, you can carve a path that aligns with your highest vision.

At its heart, the Snake is also a symbol of love—not just romantic love, but self-love and love for the interconnectedness of all things. In a Wood year, this love takes on a nurturing quality, inviting you to care for yourself, your relationships, and the world around you. It’s a time to prioritise what truly matters, to heal old wounds, and to build connections that uplift and inspire. The Snake’s energy reminds us that growth is most powerful when it’s rooted in love. I know that may surprise you but even in Western Culture snakes can symbolise love, especially eternal love. The snake motif was popular in Victorian jewellery, and Queen Victoria’s engagement ring featured a snake.

Snakes have also been associated with fertility deeply connected to the cycles of life, creation, and renewal.The snake’s association with fertility is also reflected in its presence in myths and stories about creation. In some traditions, snakes are depicted as creators of worlds, the force from which life emerges. In others, they are seen as keepers of sacred knowledge, guardians of the mysteries of birth, death, and transformation. Their movements—silent, fluid, and grounded—remind us of life’s natural ebb and flow, as well as the power of adaptability and quiet strength. Fertility, in this context, is not just about reproduction but about the continual birth of new ideas, new paths, and new opportunities for growth.

In ancient traditions, snakes were often linked to the earth’s rhythms, representing the fertility of the land, the abundance of nature, and the capacity for life to continually renew itself. In Indigenous cultures, snakes can represent the relationship between people, ancestors, and the land.

In mythology and spirituality, snakes are also tied to the creative life force known as kundalini energy—a powerful, coiled energy said to rest at the base of the spine. When awakened, it rises like a snake, weaving its way through the body’s energy centers, igniting transformation and enlightenment. In this way, the fertility of the snake is not just about external creation but also about awakening your own inner power and potential. This year invites you to explore how you can channel your energy into something that deeply nourishes your soul.

The Snake in the Chinese zodiac teaches us the value of silence and observation. Unlike louder, more overt personalities, the Snake relies on quiet discernment and a deep awareness of its surroundings. This energy reminds us that sometimes, stepping back, listening, and observing can offer profound insights and solutions. It’s an invitation to slow down, assess situations with care, and act only when the time is right.

Snakes are often associated with wisdom and complexity, representing the ability to see beyond surface-level appearances. This year, the Snake calls us to explore the deeper layers of ourselves and the world around us. It encourages embracing life’s ambiguities, seeing challenges as opportunities for growth, and understanding that there’s often more beneath the surface than meets the eye.

It teaches the importance of planning, patience, and knowing when to act. Instead of rushing into decisions, Snake energy encourages you to map out your path carefully and weigh the potential outcomes. This is a year to think long-term, prioritising goals that align with your core values and aspirations.

Snakes are known for their quiet strength and ability to endure challenges. From the zodiac perspective, the Snake embodies resilience—the kind that comes from within, not from external validation. It inspires us to develop emotional strength, rely on our inner resources, and adapt gracefully to life’s uncertainties without losing sight of our goals. It’s giving Taylor Swift Reputation Era!

The Snake’s energy is refined and elegant, often associated with beauty and grace. It teaches us the value of subtlety, showing how quiet confidence can be more impactful than loud displays. This lesson encourages you to cultivate a sense of inner poise, carry yourself with self-assurance, and let your actions speak for themselves.

The Snake is deeply intuitive, attuned to emotional undercurrents that others might overlook. Its energy invites you to strengthen your connection to your intuition and trust the subtle signals your body and emotions send you. Learning to discern truth from illusion and listening to your inner wisdom can guide you to make decisions that feel authentic and aligned

Snakes are protective creatures, valuing their space and well-being. This zodiac sign reminds us to honor our boundaries—whether emotional, mental, or physical. It’s a call to create environments where you feel safe and respected, empowering you to focus on your personal growth and self-care without unnecessary distractions or energy drains.

Where in your life could you benefit from being more observant or strategic, and how can you practice patience while moving toward your goals?


The Snake thrives on quiet observation and deliberate action. Consider areas where rushing has held you back and how slowing down and planning more intentionally could create better outcomes.

What boundaries do you need to set to protect your energy, and how can you honor them without guilt?


Snakes are known for their ability to protect themselves. Use this prompt to identify where your energy feels drained or misused and how setting clear boundaries could create space for your well-being and growth.

How can you cultivate a deeper relationship with your intuition this year, and what practices help you listen to your inner wisdom?

The Snake teaches the value of emotional intuition and self-trust. Explore moments when your intuition guided you in the past and brainstorm ways to strengthen that connection moving forward, like meditation, journaling, or body awareness.

What outdated beliefs or habits are keeping you stuck, and how can you shed them gracefully to make room for growth?


While the idea of shedding is common with Snake energy, focus on the grace and intentionality of this process. Reflect on what no longer serves you and how you can release it with gratitude instead of resistance.

What long-term goals feel most aligned with your authentic self, and how can you create a strategic plan to achieve them?

The Snake encourages strategic thinking and clarity in action. Write about your vision for the future and break it into actionable steps, focusing on persistence rather than instant results.

How can you embrace more elegance and subtlety in how you show up, both in your relationships and your work?

The Snake’s energy is refined and poised, reminding you that less can sometimes be more. Consider how you might embody quiet confidence and allow your actions to speak louder than your words this year.

What part of life’s mystery excites or intrigues you most, and how can you stay open to the unknown this year?

The Snake reminds us to honour life’s uncertainties and trust the unfolding journey. Reflect on your relationship with the unknown and how staying curious could bring unexpected growth and joy.

As we close out this episode, I hope you’re feeling inspired and ready to embrace the unique energy of this year—whether it’s tapping into your intuition, letting go of outdated beliefs, or daring to dream bigger. The Year of the Snake offers us the perfect opportunity for transformation, resilience, and empowerment, and the Aquarius New Moon invites us to think outside the box and embrace the unconventional. These cosmic energies are here to support you as you step into a future filled with possibility and growth.

If you’re feeling the call to dive deeper into your personal growth journey or navigate the changes ahead with clarity, I’d love to work with you.

Chloe and Phi talk about:

– How she and I started working together

Zoe shares how stepping into and deciding to attend the retreat was both an act of self care, celebration and empowerment, opening the door to mindset shifts and coming home to a sisterhood of like minded women.

We talk money mindset and abundance, uncovering blocks she hadn’t fully acknowledged, stepping into a new relationship with wealth and her capacity to manifest. Exploring her Human Design, using her sacral authority, and navigating her soul purpose revolving around laws… rules.

As a woman of colour, she speaks passionately about the importance of representation and creating inclusive spaces where diverse voices are heard. Post-retreat, she’s taking bold steps, from manifesting love and freezing her eggs to securing her future, to taking radical ownership of her life and letting go of distractions that no longer serve her to starting a new venture. The recharge and renew Bali retreat has been a catalyst for her to redefine success and truly align her purpose with her path.

Hello beautiful soul, wow of all dates 11/1 or 1/11 depending where you live what is unfolding is huge collective change karmically and in terms of our destiny. An 18.5 month chapter complete in Aries and Libra it is now Pisces and Virgo. This is all to do with what we call destiny markers what I say to simplify or the technical astrological terminology of the North and South Nodes, also known as the lunar nodes, are points where the Moon’s orbit intersects the Earth’s orbit around the Sun.

They represent the soul’s journey, with the South Node indicating past-life tendencies, comfort zones, and habits you’re meant to outgrow, while the North Node points to your soul’s purpose, growth, and the qualities you’re meant to develop in this lifetime. These points are not physical celestial bodies but carry deep spiritual significance, offering insight into karmic lessons and your ultimate path of evolution. We have collective ones as well as individual ones.

To find out your own individual energy, look into your astrological natal chart for placements in Pisces and Virgo for this new chapter and previously reflect upon the 18.5 month chapter that is closing on Aries and Libra. Personally I am so excited as someone with a Pisces moon. Pisces is known for feeling deeply so to have that on a collective level and leaning more into intuition, the spiritual, the woo thats chefs kiss for me.

For the past 18.5 months, the Aries North Node has encouraged individuals and the collective to step into their independence, courage, and self-leadership. This energy has been about embracing bold action, taking risks, and prioritising personal desires and passions. It’s been a time of self-discovery, pushing past fears of conflict or rejection, and learning to assert oneself unapologetically. Aries has asked us to break free from codependency, release hesitation, and trust in our ability to carve our own paths, even when the way forward is uncertain. Themes of empowerment, resilience, and standing firmly in your truth have been at the forefront.

Meanwhile, the Libra South Node has highlighted the need to release unhealthy people-pleasing, reliance on others for validation, and an overemphasis on harmony at the expense of authenticity. This period has invited reflection on relationships, balance, and fairness, urging a shift from external approval to internal alignment. It’s been about unraveling patterns of avoiding conflict, over compromising, or losing individuality in partnerships. Collectively, this transit has sparked conversations around justice, fairness, and equality while also showing where outdated relationship dynamics, social structures, or cultural norms need to be rebalanced or let go.

The collective shift of the destiny nodes affects everyone, highlighting universal themes of growth and release, but if these energies strongly align with your personal chart as I’ve said earlier—particularly your Sun, Moon, or Rising sign—you essentially become an astrological main character during this time. The areas of life these nodes touch for you feel magnified, calling for greater awareness and evolution. You may find yourself at the center of significant events, relationships, or inner transformations that mirror the collective themes, pushing you to grow in alignment with the current cosmic direction.

This influence brings opportunities for profound personal growth, but it also challenges you to release patterns that no longer serve your highest potential. Whether it’s stepping into leadership, letting go of old dynamics, or embracing your authentic self, your journey becomes a reflection of the greater collective shift, positioning you as an embodiment of the energies the world is being called to integrate.

The Pisces North Node and Virgo South Node represent a collective shift from striving for control, structure, and perfection toward embracing surrender, flow, and universal connection. Virgo South Node energy reflects the collective’s overemphasis on logic, productivity, and the need to categorise and fix everything. These traits, while valuable in their own right, can lead to burnout, hypercriticism, and a sense of disconnection from the bigger picture. As a society, this energy highlights the systems, routines, and detail-oriented mindsets that no longer serve our growth, urging us to release the illusion that we can control every aspect of life.

With the Pisces North Node, the collective is being called to trust in the unseen, cultivate compassion, and open up to spiritual and creative dimensions of life. Pisces energy asks us to let go of rigid boundaries and tap into intuition, imagination, and the wisdom of interconnectedness. This shift prioritises emotional healing, empathy, and the ability to see beyond differences, inspiring collective efforts that foster unity and deeper understanding. It’s an invitation to soften, surrender to the flow of life, and recognise the sacredness in all things, moving from a place of doing to being.

This alignment encourages shifts in areas like mental health, spirituality, and creativity, urging collective progress toward more holistic and intuitive approaches. It might bring about greater acceptance of alternative healing practices, greater focus on emotional well-being, and a heightened appreciation for art and connection. At its highest potential, the Pisces North Node can unite humanity through shared compassion and inspire solutions to global challenges that honor the whole rather than focusing solely on the individual pieces.

I’m excited for the leaning in and emergence of embracing Pisces core elements of arts, romance, and creative expression. We are going to see more emotionally authentic, soul-nourishing forms of art. The arts during this time being mystical, fluid, and intangible. Artists may feel drawn to explore themes of spirituality, dreams, and collective consciousness, leading to a period of artistic reawakening.

Art will become more of a channel for healing. The collective shift encourages individuals to trust their inner voice and create without overthinking, embracing spontaneous and organic forms of expression. Art, music, dance, and all forms of creativity can serve as a bridge between the material and spiritual worlds. Expect an increase in art that connects with the unseen, celebrates mystery, and invites us to explore the depths of human consciousness and the universe. Symbolism, dream imagery, and abstract forms will gain more significance.

What about oooh la la love. On a collective level, relationships and romance will increasingly move toward a spiritual, soulful dimension. The focus will shift from superficial connections toward finding soulmates, twin flames, and deeper emotional bonds. People may feel a longing for relationships that transcend the material and touch the divine.

The Pisces energy encourages us to dream big in love, but there’s also a tendency to idealise or see others through “rose-colored glasses.” Romantic relationships may be seen through a lens of fantasy, and while this can be beautiful, it may also lead to disillusionment. The collective is being asked to find a balance between idealism and reality in love, learning to let go of expectations and embrace love in its most spiritual form.

We can expect a lot of this to take place when we have Eclipse Seasons around March and then September in 2025; then February-March in 2026. In fact the Aries Libra chapter doesn’t officially close until the final eclipse in March 2025 handing the baton over to Pisces and Virgo.

The last time the Pisces North Node and Virgo South Node occurred was from 2006 to June 2008, a period marked by significant collective shifts that reflected the transition from control and analysis (Virgo) to surrender, intuition, and unity (Pisces). Globally, this was a time of heightened awareness of humanitarian and environmental issues, along with a growing embrace of spirituality and holistic approaches. The rise of social media platforms like Facebook (which opened to the public in 2006) began to dissolve boundaries, connecting people globally in a more fluid and intuitive way, a hallmark of Pisces energy.

In culture and media, themes of compassion and emotional storytelling took center stage. Films like The Pursuit of Happiness (2006) resonated with audiences, reflecting stories of faith, resilience, and interconnectedness.On a global scale, there were moments that pushed humanity to consider collective empathy. The aftermath of events like the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami (rebuilding efforts still ongoing in 2006) and other natural disasters highlighted the necessity of coming together in compassionate action.

On a global scale, there were moments that pushed humanity to consider collective empathy. The aftermath of events like the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami (rebuilding efforts still ongoing in 2006) and other natural disasters highlighted the necessity of coming together in compassionate action.

To make this collective shift your own, embracing Pisces energy, I have some journal prompts for you.

Reflect on the last time the North Node was in Pisces (end of June 2006- mid December 2007)—what major shifts or transformations were happening in your life? How did you move through that period, and what lessons did you learn?

What parts of your life are still shaped by Virgo’s need for control, perfectionism, or over-analysis? How can you begin to release those patterns to align more with the flow of life? Identify areas where a rigid, perfectionist approach is still guiding your decisions, and ask yourself if it’s truly serving you. Consider how this focus on precision or control may cause unnecessary stress or exhaustion.

Where do you tend to be overly critical of yourself or others? How can embracing compassion and understanding change your perspective? Acknowledge where harsh judgments, either towards yourself or others, have created distance or frustration. Ask yourself what would shift if you approached these situations with more kindness, forgiveness, and empathy. Practice seeing things from a compassionate perspective, understanding that we all have our flaws and are on our own unique journeys.

How can you create more space for intuition and creativity in your life? What small steps can you take to trust your instincts more deeply? Reflect on moments when you’ve ignored your intuition in favour of logic or practicality.

Reflect on a time when you prioritised your to-do list over your emotional or spiritual needs. What would it look like to balance both, allowing room for rest and nourishment? Think about a period when your focus on work, tasks, or duties left you feeling drained or disconnected from your true self. Consider how integrating time for self-care, rest, and spiritual nourishment could bring more harmony and energy into your life. Balance doesn’t mean perfection—allow yourself to show up for both your responsibilities and your personal well-being.

How does your current routine or approach to work reflect Virgo’s influence? In what areas could you shift towards a more fluid, holistic approach, focusing on the bigger picture? Look at your daily work routine—do you find yourself stuck in repetitive tasks, focusing only on details?

Pisces asks you to embrace surrender—what do you need to release control over in your life right now? How can you practice trusting the process more? Pinpoint areas where you may be clinging to outcomes or over-planning, which could be stifling your growth. Practice letting go of the need for certainty and control, allowing life to unfold with more trust. Surrendering doesn’t mean giving up; it means releasing resistance and opening yourself up to new possibilities.

Reflect on your relationship with spirituality or creativity—how can you bring more of these qualities into your daily life, regardless of external expectations? Think about how you currently nurture your spiritual or creative practices, and where you may feel disconnected or overwhelmed by external demands. Explore how small rituals or creative expressions can be incorporated into your routine, even in simple ways. By honouring your spiritual and creative sides, you can invite more peace and authenticity into your life.

As we close today’s episode, we’ve explored the powerful energy of the North Node in Pisces and the South Node in Virgo, both personally and collectively. This alignment invites us to release our attachment to perfectionism and control, encouraging a deeper connection to intuition, creativity, and compassion. Remember, it’s not about rejecting Virgo’s practical wisdom but about finding balance—embracing flow, trust, and the beauty of the unknown. Let’s carry these reflections with us, allowing them to guide us toward a more authentic, harmonious way of living. If you’re looking to start this year and embrace this new 18-month chapter with clarity and purpose, I invite you to explore how you can align more deeply with your soul’s path through 1:1 coaching, Human Design readings, or one of the three retreats I’m running this year.

Until next time, stay open to the possibilities that lie in surrender, having faith in yourself and the universe and self compassion.

Hello my love and welcome to 2025. We are going to kick this year off with Unlearning. As you know I’m super passionate about all things unlearning because I even wrote a book about it – The Great Unlearning.

I know from working with clients and chatting to some of you that in 2024 it really tested your strength, there was unraveling old identities and forcing truths to the surface. It was a year of upheaval, heartbreak, and unexpected revelations—each challenge quietly preparing the soil for something new.

As 2025 dawns, unlearning becomes the sacred act of honouring those difficulties while shedding what no longer serves. It’s the gentle release of outdated beliefs, habits, and fears born from survival, making space for a life rooted in thriving. This year is a blank canvas, inviting you to paint it with your most authentic colors, free from the weight of expectations you’ve outgrown.

Unlearning in 2025 is about trusting the wisdom gained through hardship and leaning into the power of starting again. It’s a collective permission slip to question the rules that shaped you and rewrite the narrative to reflect who you’re becoming. As you unlearn, you’re not just letting go; you’re stepping forward—into a softer strength, a deeper clarity, and a life led by your own heart. This is the year you stop apologising for taking up space and begin celebrating it instead.

This episode is going to set up the vibe, tone and energy for 2025.

This episode is going to set up the vibe, tone and energy for 2025.

Life moves fast—too fast sometimes—and we’ve gotten used to expecting instant results. Whether it’s success, relationships, or personal growth, there’s this constant pressure to have it all figured out immediately. But that rush often leaves us feeling like something’s wrong with us if things take time. This year, we’re letting go of that mindset and choosing patience instead.

Unlearning instant gratification means realising that good things—real, meaningful things—take time to grow. It’s about trusting the process, even when it feels slow or uncertain. It’s okay if your goals don’t happen overnight or if life feels like it’s unfolding one small step at a time. That doesn’t mean you’re failing; it means you’re building something real. This year, we’re making room for that slower, steadier pace, and reminding ourselves that patience is its own kind of power.

Like actually stop and think about when you rush and things move so quickly, do you feel good? Do you feel calm? Is your nervous system good? Not getting what you want Sarah, that guy and now you’ve slept with your old situationship and feel let down by yourself. Alexa, you wanted instant business success, dropped your prices so low and now your nervous system is a wreck with how much work you have to do for so little.

For too long, as women, we have been told not to ask for too much, to quiet your needs, and to accept what you’ve given—even if it doesn’t feel right. But this year, we’re letting go of those outdated beliefs. Love and abundance are not things we have to beg for; they are our natural state. Wanting more doesn’t make you demanding—it makes you in tune with your worth.

We’re also unlearning the habit of staying silent when something doesn’t sit right with us. Speaking up isn’t about being difficult; it’s about honouring yourself. Whether it’s in relationships, careers, or daily life, 2025 is the year to stop shrinking and start asking for what truly aligns with you. Because settling isn’t peace—it’s a quiet kind of discomfort. And you deserve so much more than that.

Remember love and abundance are our natural state. Why? Because these two beautiful things are rooted in who we are at our core—worthy, whole, and connected. From the moment we’re born, we are enough. We don’t have to earn love; it flows naturally from our relationships with ourselves and others. Abundance isn’t just about material things—it’s the recognition that life offers us infinite opportunities, experiences, and connections. It’s a mindset, a way of seeing the world through possibility rather than limitation.

When we strip away fear, doubt, and societal conditioning, what’s left is a sense of openness and connection—both to ourselves and the world around us. Love and abundance feel natural because they align with that truth. They remind us that we’re part of something bigger, something expansive, and that we are always deserving of having our needs met and our hearts full.

We’ve been taught to fear mistakes, to see them as proof that we’re not good enough. But the truth is, failure isn’t final—it’s a stepping stone. It’s how we learn, grow, and get closer to where we’re meant to be.  Every mistake carries a lesson, and every misstep holds the wisdom we need to move forward with more clarity and confidence.

This year, we’re embracing the idea that it’s okay to get it wrong sometimes. Mistakes don’t define you—they refine you. The quicker you allow yourself to stumble, the quicker you learn what works and what doesn’t. In 2025, we’re leaving behind the fear of failure and stepping into a mindset of curiosity and resilience, knowing that every fall is just a part of the journey to something greater.

At some point in our lives we have all been told and maybe even taught to shrink our vision, to be “more practical,” or to not aim too high. But this year, we’re reclaiming the right to dream unapologetically—and realising that the size of your dreams is just right for you. If the vision is in your heart, it’s there for a reason.

Being a dreamer doesn’t mean staying in your head; it means pairing your imagination with action. It’s about showing up, step by step, even when the path feels uncertain. Your dreams aren’t too big—they’re waiting for you to believe in them enough to move forward. In 2025, we’re embracing the courage to dream boldly and the discipline to make those dreams a reality.

Limiting beliefs that tell us money is hard to earn, doesn’t flow easily, or isn’t meant for us. For too long, we’ve held onto stories of scarcity—stories that make us feel guilty for wanting more or afraid to trust in abundance. But this year, we’re rewriting that narrative. We’re inviting wealth with open arms, knowing that it’s not selfish or greedy to desire financial freedom—it’s empowering.

Money is simply energy, a tool that amplifies who you are and what you value. By unlearning old fears, you create space for a healthier relationship with wealth—one rooted in gratitude, ease, and possibility. In 2025, we’re stepping into a mindset of abundance, knowing there is more than enough to go around and that we are worthy of receiving, keeping, and growing the wealth we desire.

Many of us have felt that saying “no” or asking for what we need risks creating distance or conflict. But this year, we’re reframing boundaries for what they really are—an act of self-love and an invitation for deeper respect and connection.

Boundaries don’t block love; they create space for healthy relationships to flourish. They show others how to honor us while also showing us how to honor ourselves. In 2025, we’re embracing the truth that boundaries are not walls—they are bridges to stronger, more authentic connections. By standing firm in what we need, we open the door to relationships built on mutual care, understanding, and trust.

Yes girly and this is coming from me, leaving and ending a year long relationship and seeing my inner circle and larger network change and evolve.

For too long, we’ve held on out of obligation, fear of being alone, or the hope that things will change. But this year, we’re letting go of connections that no longer serve our growth or well-being. We’re realising that it’s okay to step away from relationships that leave us feeling empty or exhausted.

Instead, we’re making room for relationships that lift us up, inspire us, and encourage us to be our best selves. This year, we’re choosing to surround ourselves with people who align with our values and bring positive energy into our lives. In 2025, we’re prioritising the connections that nurture our hearts, strengthen our spirits, and make us feel seen, loved, and supported.

We’ve been taught that needing others is a sign of weakness, that we should handle everything ourselves to prove our resilience. But this year, we’re shifting that mindset. We’re recognizing that asking for help is not a flaw—it’s a strength.

Welcoming support isn’t about being incapable; it’s about being wise enough to know that we don’t have to carry the weight alone. Support is a gift, both for us and for those offering it, creating deeper connections and fostering collaboration. In 2025, we’re embracing the power of community, knowing that true strength comes from knowing when to ask.

If you’re ready to make 2025 the year you step into your true power and unlearn the limiting beliefs holding you back, I’d love to work with you. Whether you’re looking for 1:1 coaching to deeply transform your mindset and align with your purpose, a Human Design reading to unlock your unique strengths, or to join one of the three transformative retreats, Flow in Vietnam end of May 2025, Recharge and Renew beginnings of August and Radiance end of September, beginning of October I’m running this year, there’s a space for you. Together, we’ll dive into the practices, insights, and actions that help you create the life you truly deserve. Reach out to start your journey today.

As we close this episode, remember that 2025 is all about unlearning and releasing what no longer serves you. From shedding the fear of failure to embracing boundaries, wealth, and support, this year invites us to expand and evolve in ways we’ve never imagined. Let go of the stories that have held you back and make room for a new chapter of growth, love, and abundance. Here’s to embracing the power of unlearning, and stepping into the life you’ve always been meant to live

Work with Phi

A very Happy New Year to you! As we step into this fresh chapter, I’m excited to talk about something that’s been on my heart—flow. Specifically, how you can embrace the power of feminine energy to make this year feel more aligned, effortless, and abundant.

In this episode, we’ll dive into what it really means to embody flow, how to notice when you’re resisting it, and some practical ways to invite it in—whether in your career, business, relationships, or personal growth.

As we begin 2025, I want you to feel empowered to move with the current of life, rather than against it. Let’s dive deep into a year of trusting your natural rhythm and embracing the flow of feminine energy together.

If you’re vibing this episode and feeling the call I’ll also be talking to you about the Flow Retreat I am running in a few months in May in Vietnam. I can’t wait I am so excited. Feminine energy is going to be a part of all the retreats I run this year! Flow is very much luxury self care feminine energy vibes.

Let’s start by breaking down what feminine energy really means. It’s not about gender or fitting into societal boxes. Feminine energy is about intuition, receptivity, creativity, and connection. It’s the part of you that thrives in stillness, listens to your inner wisdom, and embraces life with an open heart.

But here’s the catch: many of us have been conditioned to favour masculine energy—doing, achieving, and pushing forward. While those qualities are important, constantly operating in that mode can leave you feeling drained and disconnected.

Does this sound familiar? Maybe you feel like you’re constantly on a treadmill, chasing goals but feeling unfulfilled. Or perhaps you long for more ease and joy but don’t know how to get there. That’s where feminine energy and flow come in.

Flow is about aligning with the natural rhythms of your body, mind, and spirit. Think of it like swimming with the current rather than against it. When you’re in flow, you’re not forcing things to happen; you’re allowing life to unfold with grace.

Here’s a simple example: Have you ever had a day where everything just clicked? You felt confident, connected, and inspired. That’s flow. It’s not something you have to earn; it’s your natural state when you’re aligned with your feminine energy.

Diving into the concept of flow as it relates to feminine energy—a state that’s as powerful as it is misunderstood. At its core, feminine flow is about moving with life rather than against it, tapping into your natural rhythms, intuition, and creativity

Think of it as the “how” of embracing ease and receptivity—letting inspiration, emotions, and connection guide you. Flow isn’t passive; it’s an active surrender to what’s unfolding, where intuition leads and grace follows.

I’ve shared examples of what it means to flow, how about when you aren’t in flow? When you’re out of flow with your feminine energy, life starts to feel heavy, disconnected, and out of sync. One common sign is burnout—the result of constantly operating in a “go-go-go” mindset, prioritising productivity over presence. Instead of honouring your need for rest or replenishment, you push through exhaustion, often at the expense of your emotional well-being. For example, you might find yourself skipping meals, sacrificing sleep, or feeling irritable and drained even after accomplishing everything on your to-do list.

Another telltale sign is people-pleasing, where you prioritise everyone else’s needs above your own. This might look like agreeing to plans you don’t want to attend, overcommitting to help others, or staying in relationships or jobs that don’t honor your worth. In this state, you lose connection with your desires and intuition because you’re too focused on external validation or fear of conflict. Instead of flowing naturally, your energy feels stifled, leaving you depleted and resentful.

You’re also not in flow when you’re forcing or resisting what’s unfolding in life. Forcing shows up as controlling every detail to ensure a desired outcome, ignoring the signals telling you to pause or pivot. On the flip side, resisting might look like procrastination, avoiding decisions, or clinging to what feels safe even when it’s no longer serving you. Imagine staying in a job you’ve outgrown because you fear change or trying to make a relationship work when it’s clear it’s misaligned. Both forcing and resisting disconnect you from ease, creativity, and trust—the core of feminine flow.

Let’s get more practical and apply this to real life scenarios. Intuitively what came through was flow in relation to connections dating or being in a relationship as well as business.

One clear sign of being out of flow in dating is overthinking and strategizing every interaction. You might spend hours crafting the “perfect” text or analyzing every word and gesture for hidden meanings. Oh my gosh Alex said this what does he really mean. Bob replied to me 5 hours later instead of his usual 2. Why did Graham use this emoji?

This over-analysis takes you out of the moment, making dating feel like a chore or a game to win rather than an opportunity to connect authentically.

Another example is chasing or overextending yourself to gain someone’s approval. This might look like initiating all the conversations, rearranging your schedule to accommodate theirs, or ignoring your own boundaries to appear more agreeable. For instance, agreeing to a date idea you dislike or tolerating inconsistent communication sends a message that their needs matter more than yours. This imbalance not only drains your energy but also prevents a genuine, mutual connection from forming.

Always Initiating the Conversation: You’re the one who always starts the texts or calls, even though you’ve noticed they’re not reciprocating. You might feel like you need to keep the conversation going to stay on their radar, even though it’s becoming one-sided. This dynamic shifts the balance and leaves you feeling exhausted from constantly putting in the effort while they seem to take a backseat.

Over-Scheduling to Accommodate Them: You rearrange your entire week just to fit in a date or hangout that works better for them, even if it disrupts your own plans. For example, you push aside a night out with friends or skip a workout because they suddenly have time to meet. This can quickly create resentment, as you’re putting their needs ahead of your own and losing sight of your personal priorities.

Constantly Texting or Messaging: When they don’t respond as quickly as you’d like, you might send multiple follow-up texts or even a message that asks if everything’s okay. You feel compelled to stay in constant contact, fearing that any lapse in communication might mean they’re losing interest. This behavior creates pressure and often comes across as needy or insecure, pushing the person away rather than allowing them to miss you and come to you on their own.

Lastly, resisting vulnerability can also block the natural flow in dating. You might avoid opening up about your feelings, downplay your desires, or pretend to be indifferent to protect yourself from rejection. For example, you could suppress your excitement about a budding connection or hold back from discussing what you’re truly looking for in a relationship. This resistance creates a superficial dynamic where neither party can fully show up, stalling the potential for deep and meaningful connection.

When you’re out of flow in a relationship, one common sign is forcing connection or progress instead of allowing things to evolve naturally. For instance, you might find yourself pressuring your partner to communicate in a specific way, setting unrealistic expectations, or rushing milestones like moving in together or defining the relationship. Instead of creating intimacy, this can lead to friction and feelings of imbalance, as the relationship feels more like a project to manage than a partnership to nurture.

Another sign of being out of flow is losing yourself in the relationship. This can look like constantly compromising your needs and desires to keep your partner happy or to avoid conflict. For example, you might stop pursuing your hobbies, change how you dress, or neglect friendships because you’re overly focused on maintaining the relationship. Over time, this self-abandonment erodes your confidence and creates a dynamic where you feel unheard or undervalued.

A less obvious but equally significant example is resisting change or avoiding truth. You might ignore red flags, hold onto a relationship that no longer serves you, or refuse to address recurring issues out of fear of confrontation or loss. For example, staying silent about a lack of emotional intimacy or avoiding tough conversations about mismatched goals keeps you stuck in stagnation. This resistance to growth creates frustration and blocks the natural flow of connection and evolution in the relationship.

One common sign of being out of flow in your business is chasing clients or opportunities from a place of desperation rather than alignment. For instance, you might lower your prices to secure a client, agree to work outside your niche, or take on projects that don’t feel aligned with your values just to “keep the money coming in.” While this might provide short-term security, it ultimately drains your energy and creates resentment, as you end up doing work that doesn’t light you up or reflect your true expertise.

Another sign is forcing growth through hustle rather than alignment. You might over-schedule your time, constantly create new offerings, or push aggressive marketing strategies without pausing to reflect on what’s working. For example, endlessly tweaking your website or launching back-to-back promotions without a clear strategy can leave you feeling exhausted and disconnected from your original vision. This approach often leads to burnout and diminishes the joy and creativity that inspired your business in the first place.

Finally, operating from a scarcity mindset keeps you stuck in fear and resistance. You might avoid investing in tools, support, or mentorship because you’re afraid the money won’t come back to you. Or, you might overcommit to clients, saying yes to everything, because you fear that turning down an opportunity will mean losing out. This mindset stifles trust in your abilities and the abundance available to you, keeping you in a cycle of overwork and undervaluation. When you’re not in flow, your business feels like an uphill battle rather than a space where your creativity and impact can thrive.

Receptivity is the art of being open-hearted and unguarded, allowing life to flow to you rather than always striving to chase or force things. It’s about allowing yourself to receive inspiration, opportunities, and deep connections without resistance. When you’re truly receptive, you’re no longer focused on how to control the outcome, and instead, you trust that what is meant for you will come in its own time and form. The key is to stay open, letting the universe bring you what you need, without second-guessing or doubting its arrival.

When you embrace receptivity, self-doubt has no place in your heart. Often, we block blessings because of limiting beliefs or fear of not being enough. But when you practice being open, you begin to trust that you’re worthy of receiving. This mindset shift allows new possibilities to enter your life effortlessly. For example, you might start saying “yes” to opportunities that you would’ve previously turned down, not because you have all the answers, but because you trust the process and your ability to navigate whatever unfolds.

The beauty of receptivity is that it aligns you with flow. Instead of forcing outcomes, you step into a rhythm where you are in tune with what is unfolding. The more you stay open, the more you start to notice synchronicities, coincidences, and moments of serendipity. These moments are the universe showing you that you’re aligned with your true path. Being receptive allows you to feel at ease, trusting that everything you need will flow to you when the time is right, and that there’s no need to rush or push against life’s natural current.

Trusting your intuition is a powerful practice that enables you to make decisions that are aligned with your true self, free from the noise of external opinions or overthinking. Intuition is that deep inner knowing that guides you, and it often speaks quietly but clearly. The first step in trusting it is learning to quiet your mind and turn down the volume on external influences. When you stop overanalyzing and listen closely, you’ll find that your inner voice has always been there, patiently guiding you.

A key aspect of trusting your intuition is practicing small decisions with confidence. Start by listening to those quiet nudges for everyday things, such as choosing what to eat or what direction to take in your day. Each time you follow your gut feeling, even in seemingly trivial matters, you strengthen your ability to trust your intuition in larger decisions. The more you practice, the clearer and more reliable your intuition becomes, making it easier to lean on when the stakes are higher.

It’s also important to understand that intuition isn’t always loud or dramatic—it often comes in the form of a gentle knowing or a feeling of peace around a choice. When you trust your intuition, you release the need for perfection and control. You stop second-guessing and worrying about the “what-ifs.” Instead, you make decisions with confidence, knowing that your intuition is guiding you towards what’s best for you, even if you don’t have all the answers at once.

Creativity is a natural expression of feminine energy, and it thrives in a state of flow. When you’re in flow, your creative ideas come easily, effortlessly, and without resistance. You don’t have to force them or think too hard about the outcome. Instead, you let go of expectations and allow the creative process to unfold as it will. Whether you’re writing, painting, dancing, or solving problems, creativity flows when you surrender to the moment and trust that inspiration will arrive when it’s ready.

Flow in creativity is about being fully immersed in the present. When you’re in the zone, time seems to disappear. You lose track of the clock and the pressure to perform. This state of deep immersion allows ideas to flow through you like a river—unimpeded and abundant. In flow, you stop trying to control the process and start allowing the creative energy to guide you. It’s about having a sense of ease and letting go of perfectionism, trusting that whatever emerges is enough.

To cultivate flow in creativity, it’s important to create space for inspiration. This means letting go of self-judgment and giving yourself the freedom to explore and experiment without worrying about the outcome. Whether it’s starting a new project or working on something you’ve been stuck on, sometimes the key to creativity is simply giving yourself permission to play. By embracing flow, you create an environment where your creativity isn’t stifled by expectations or doubts, and where ideas can flow freely and naturally.

The first step in embodying feminine energy flow is to slow down. In our fast-paced world, we’re often conditioned to move quickly and constantly check off tasks. But the feminine energy thrives in the space of presence and stillness. Start by carving out moments each day to pause—whether it’s a few minutes of deep breathing, a walk in nature, or simply sipping your morning coffee without distractions. Slowing down creates space for intuition and creativity to emerge naturally.

Next, begin to trust your intuition. Feminine flow is about leaning into your gut feelings and inner knowing rather than overthinking every decision For instance, when faced with a decision, close your eyes for a moment and ask yourself what feels right, not what seems most logical. The more you honor your intuitive hits, the easier it becomes to hear and trust them in larger life choices.

Being present and practicing gratitude are two key ways to activate feminine flow. When you can embrace each moment with full presence and appreciation, you invite more of what you desire into your life. This can be as simple as noticing the small moments that bring you joy, sunrise, a meaningful conversation, swimming in the sea. The more you cultivate gratitude, the more you open yourself up to the abundance that is already flowing around you.

Release the Fear of Rejection – Feminine energy is about being unapologetically yourself and letting go of the fear of being rejected or judged. When you’re fully in flow, you can express your desires, boundaries, and emotions without hesitation. Practice showing up as your authentic self, even in situations that make you feel vulnerable. For example, if you’re dating, allow yourself to express interest without fear of being too forward or worrying about how you’ll be perceived. The more you release the need for external validation, the more aligned you’ll be with your own flow.

Flow in creativity is about being fully immersed in the present. When you’re in the zone, time seems to disappear. You lose track of the clock and the pressure to perform. This state of deep immersion allows ideas to flow through you like a river—unimpeded and abundant. In flow, you stop trying to control the process and start allowing the creative energy to guide you. It’s about having a sense of ease and letting go of perfectionism, trusting that whatever emerges is enough.

To cultivate flow in creativity, it’s important to create space for inspiration. This means letting go of self-judgment and giving yourself the freedom to explore and experiment without worrying about the outcome. Whether it’s starting a new project or working on something you’ve been stuck on, sometimes the key to creativity is simply giving yourself permission to play. By embracing flow, you create an environment where your creativity isn’t stifled by expectations or doubts, and where ideas can flow freely and naturally.

Work with Phi

Hello, hello—surprise! I’m back, and I couldn’t wait even one more day. I missed this space, missed you, and I’m so excited to dive back in. At first, I thought I’d wait until 2025 to return—new year, fresh start, all that. But then I realized: you don’t need permission from a calendar to do what’s calling you. When something feels right, the best time to start is now.

So here I am, stepping back into this space with gratitude and energy, ready to pick up right where we left off. Let this be your reminder, too—you don’t have to wait for the “right” time or for things to align perfectly. Trust your timing. Begin when your soul says yes, and the rest will follow.

As I went to record this I realised I can’t plug my professional mic into my laptop because I got a new MacBook and there’s no more USB ports so here I am on the fly recording off my iPhone.

A strong channeled message came through for our beautiful collective community here on The Grow Through It Podcast, a theme emerged which funnily enough all of my clients spoke to as well in one form or another this morning.

That message is: Meet yourself where you are. Meet others where they are.

Meet yourself where you are, not where you think you should be. The universe doesn’t measure you by the milestones you haven’t reached or the potential you haven’t fulfilled—it meets you in the here and now, with infinite love and compassion.

Your journey is not a race, and there is no prize for rushing past the lessons you’re meant to embody. Honour the version of you that exists today, even if they feel incomplete, confused, or messy. You are not behind. You are exactly where you need to be, and the simple act of meeting yourself with kindness unlocks doors to growth that force and self-criticism never will.

Extend that same grace to others. Meet them where they are, without expectation or need for them to move at your pace. Growth is sacred, but it is also deeply personal. When you release the urge to change someone or pull them along with you, you create the spaciousness for genuine connection.

Your evolution, when rooted in love, can inspire others, but it should never be a demand for their transformation. Let your growth be a byproduct of your self-love, not a tool for controlling others. Love doesn’t say, “You must grow for me.” It says, “I see you where you are, and I trust your path.”

True change, whether in yourself or others, must come from within. Anything else is fleeting and fragile. When you grow, let it be because your soul craves expansion, not because you are trying to prove something to the world or to anyone else.

In meeting yourself with love and meeting others with understanding, you allow life to unfold as it’s meant to. Trust in the timing of it all. The only person you are responsible for transforming is yourself, and in doing so, you become the light that naturally illuminates the way for others to step into their own truth—if and when they choose.

As we approach the end of 2024, it’s important to remember that the energy of a year doesn’t simply reset when the clock strikes midnight on January 1st. Energetically, the transition between years is more fluid—a continuation rather than a sudden shift. December has already been a reflective month, with a New Moon in Sagittarius opening the month and a Capricorn New Moon closing it.

These two new moons offer a sense of closure, grounding us as we prepare to step into the next chapter. This period feels less like a hard reset and more like an invitation to pause, reflect, and set intentions without the pressure of an immediate transformation.

Looking ahead to 2025, I’ll be dedicating a full episode to exploring its themes, energies, and opportunities. For now, I want to focus on this in-between space—the bridge between what was and what’s yet to come.

As we enter the Year of the Snake and a numerological Year 9, the themes of shedding, completion, and transformation will take center stage. To help you align with this energy, I’ll be sharing reflective questions designed to help you close out 2024 with clarity and set the foundation for the year ahead. Whether you’re listening to this on New Year’s Eve, January 1st, or even mid-January, trust that this process will meet you exactly where you are. Energetically, the new year begins not on a fixed date but in the moment when you decide to step into alignment with your intentions.

The significance of the here and now? The black moon and change in planetary positions of Chiron (the wounded healer) emerging from retrograde since July to direct now. What is a black moon? A Black Moon, the second New Moon in a single month, carries an intensified energy of beginnings and endings.

In Capricorn, the sign of discipline, ambition, and structure, this lunar event invites us to assess the foundations of our lives. What still supports our growth, and what is holding us back? This is a time to release outdated structures, limiting beliefs, and anything misaligned with our higher purpose, making space for clarity and intention as we move forward.

Chiron represents our deepest wounds and the wisdom that emerges when we work through them. Its retrograde period often brings unresolved pain to the surface, urging us to reflect, heal, and integrate. Now, as Chiron moves direct, there’s a sense of forward motion in our healing journeys. The lessons of the past months begin to crystallise, and we’re empowered to take those insights and step into a new phase of growth.

Together, the Black Moon in Capricorn and Chiron’s direct movement signal a powerful cosmic transition. They encourage us to honor the present moment—this threshold between endings and beginnings—as an opportunity for deep reflection and intentional release. This is not just about setting resolutions for the coming year; it’s about closing out 2024 with a sense of completion, allowing ourselves to shed what no longer serves us and step into the next chapter with a renewed sense of purpose and alignment.

Below are some end of year 2024 journaling prompts I have created perfect for New Year’s Eve journaling sessions.

What has been your deepest wound in 2024, and why?
Reflect on a moment or experience that felt especially challenging or painful. What emotions did it bring up, and what lessons might be hidden within it? Consider one step you can take, starting now, to begin healing this wound as you move into 2025.

What moment in 2024 felt like a true turning point in your life?
Think about a time this year when everything shifted—perhaps in your mindset, relationships, or personal growth. What made this moment significant, and how has it shaped the person you’re becoming?

What would you say was your greatest act of courage in 2024?
Explore a time when you showed up boldly, even if it felt scary or uncertain. What did this act of courage teach you about yourself, and how can you carry that bravery forward?

What relationships have deepened, and which ones have changed?
Reflect on the people in your life. Who have you grown closer to, and what made those connections flourish? Are there any relationships that have shifted or faded, and how do you feel about those changes?

How did you manage your time this year, and where could you have been more intentional?
Think about how you spent your days. Were your choices aligned with your values, or did certain things pull you away from what truly matters? How can you approach time differently in the year ahead?

When were you the most present in the moment this year, and what made it special?
Recall a time when you felt completely grounded and aware, fully immersed in what was happening. What about this experience made it meaningful, and how can you invite more of that presence into your life?

Which moments made you feel the most alive, and how can you create more of those?
Think about the times when your heart raced, your spirit soared, or joy filled every corner of your being. What were you doing, and how can you cultivate more of that energy in your daily life?

What were the biggest distractions in your life, and how did they affect your growth?
Reflect on what pulled your focus away from your goals or your deeper purpose. How can you set boundaries or shift priorities to minimise these distractions in the future?

If you had to sum up 2024 in one word, what would it be, and why?
Think about the essence of the year. What single word captures the themes, lessons, or emotions you’ve experienced?

If you could go back to January 2024, what would you tell yourself?
Imagine speaking to the version of you who began this year. What wisdom or encouragement would you offer, knowing what you know now?

What drained your energy this year, and what gave you energy?
Reflect on the activities, people, or habits that left you feeling depleted. What, by contrast, recharged and inspired you? How can you adjust your life to focus on what fuels you?

What were things you had to unlearn in 2024, and how can you rewrite them?
Consider beliefs or habits you realized were no longer serving you. What new stories or patterns can you consciously create to replace them in 2025?

What part of 2024 are you most grateful for, and how will you carry that gratitude into the new year? Think about a moment or lesson in 2024 that brought you unexpected growth or joy. How can that gratitude shape your mindset as you step into 2025? Carrying this feeling forward can be a powerful way to anchor your intentions for the year ahead.

Below are some new year 2025 journaling prompts I have created to help set up your new year ahead in 2025.

What energy do you want to bring into every area of your life in 2025, and how can you intentionally cultivate that energy daily?
Energy is contagious, and the way you approach each day can influence every area of your life. Consider what energy feels aligned with your vision for the year. How can you create simple habits or reminders to bring that energy to your work, relationships, and personal growth?

What fear do you need to face head-on in 2025 to unlock your next level of growth?
Fear often keeps us in a state of stagnation, but confronting it can be the key to growth. Identify a fear that has held you back and explore the possibilities that might open up once you face it. What would life look like if you didn’t let this fear control you anymore?

How can you make room for more play and joy in your life without guilt or hesitation?
Too often, we associate productivity with success, neglecting the importance of joy and fun. What does play look like for you, and how can you give yourself permission to experience it regularly? Creating space for joy might just be the key to sustaining long-term success and balance.

If you could design a dream year of your life, what elements would make it up?
Imagine that 2025 could unfold exactly the way you want it to. What are the key elements of your dream year—experiences, relationships, achievements, or feelings? Let your imagination guide you to create a vision that excites and motivates you.

How can you show up as a leader in your own life, regardless of your role or title, and what would that look like on a daily basis?
Leadership isn’t just about titles—it’s about the way you take responsibility for your own life. How can you make decisions, set boundaries, and take actions that reflect your inner leader? Start small by identifying one area where you can step into leadership daily.

If you had to choose just three things to focus on in 2025, what would they be, and why?
With so many goals and distractions, narrowing down your focus can bring clarity and power. What are the top three things that, if you dedicated your energy to them, would make the most significant difference in your life?

What’s one thing you’ve always assumed you’re “not ready for”—and how could you challenge that belief in 2025?
Sometimes, our limiting beliefs hold us back from pursuing what we truly want. What is one opportunity or challenge you’ve been avoiding because you believe you’re not ready? How could shifting your mindset about readiness open new doors this year?

If you could borrow one quality from someone you admire for 2025, what would it be?
Admiring someone’s quality or strength often reveals something we’re seeking to cultivate in ourselves. What quality in someone you admire would make a significant difference in how you show up in the world? How can you start embodying that trait this year?

What does success look like to you in 2025, and how is it different from what success meant to you last year? Success is constantly evolving, and your definition of it may have shifted over time. Take a moment to reflect on the milestones you celebrated in 2024—what did those successes look like, and how did they feel? Now, think about the year ahead: How do you want to define success for yourself in 2025, and what aspects of your life will it encompass—career, personal growth, relationships, or something else? Recognizing how your perception of success is changing can help you align your actions with what truly matters to you in the present moment.

Love & Positiivity

Meanwhile, the solar eclipse signals fresh possibilities, inviting us to set new intentions and embrace the unknown with courage. Tune in as Phi breaks down how these eclipses influence both the collective and personal level, and how you can harness this energy to realign with your purpose and create space for growth.

Work with Phi

Hello my loves,

Since I was last on here I ran my first retreat Recharge and Renew in Bali and oh my gosh it really was one of the best weeks of my life. I can’t wait to do it again next year there are already 3 confirmed retreats that haven’t officially been launched yet but I hoping it will next month in October my birthday month woohoo.

I felt really called to speak to you today about the energies at present collectively cause boy it’s a lot and if you’re not feeling it, I am genuinely so happy for you, if you’re like me and many clients and people I’ve spoken to online on Instagram huge rapid changes are on the horizon.

We are in a gateway, a bridge, an eclipse sandwich in between two eclipses. What’s really interesting about this current one is from the lunar eclipse in pisces, the next is a solar eclipse coincides with a new moon on the 2nd of October in Libra.

Eclipses are not just astronomical events; they’re cosmic catalysts that can shift our lives significantly. Each eclipse occurs in pairs. The one that recently happened in September, a lunar eclipse illuminated our inner worlds, revealing what needs to be let go of, while the upcoming October solar eclipse represents new beginnings and fresh starts. Together, they form a dynamic interplay that encourages us to embrace transformation and change.

The recent lunar eclipse in September invited us to look inward. What fears or limiting beliefs have been holding us back? What relationships no longer serve us? This eclipse shines a light on the shadows, urging us to acknowledge and release what we’ve outgrown. It’s a moment to honor our past experiences, but also to recognise the need for change.

Now with all of this said , it’s important to also take note of the background to all of this. The shift in destiny nodes too energetically. Currently, the focus has shifted from the Aries/Libra chapter for the last year and half to now starting to introduce Pisces and Virgo energy inviting us to explore new themes in our lives.

Essentially the recent lunar eclipse was a peak of a new chapter coming in over 2025 – 2027 in the energies of Pisces and Virgo so we’re not quite there yet given Aries and Libra with the upcoming solar eclipse in Libra.

Pisces emphasises spirituality, feeling, compassion, and creativity, encouraging us to embrace vulnerability and connect with a higher purpose. In contrast, Virgo is about practicality, letting go of over-analysis, and perfectionism.

Libra’s large influence continues still particularly in regards to our relationships. Libra encouraging us to evaluate existing partnerships and focus on balance and harmony where possible and healthy. This influence complements Pisces by highlighting the importance of empathy and emotional intelligence in our connections with others.

All in all what I am trying to say is this is part of the whole chapter series of Aries Libra energy 5 of 6 which which are complete, so have a listen to these dates to reflect upon what is going on in your life, particularly patterns and themes repeating themselves keeping in mind lunar is endings and solar is beginnings. Furthermore if you know more about your astrology you may want to see where you have placements in Aries or Libra, even if you don’t collectively we are all impacted by this energy.

You may want to pause the episode to allow yourself to do so and I’ll also be finishing this episode with journal prompts.

The last time we had this flavour of energy was between 2013 and 2016. There may even be full circle moments or connections from back then to now too.

It goes without saying there’s a karmic undertone to eclipse series. I had an episode back in March alluding to this so to recap and bring back to the forefront with the Aries Libra eclipse series; as it highlights themes of independence (Aries) and relationships (Libra). During this time, karmic patterns related to self versus others, autonomy, and partnership come to the forefront. Here’s how karma may play a role in this dynamic in your life:

Aries represents the self—individual desires, ambitions, and assertiveness. Libra, on the other hand, symbolises relationships, harmony, and cooperation. The eclipses in this series often bring karmic lessons where individuals are asked to strike a balance between personal independence and the needs of others. This can manifest as karmic situations where past imbalances in relationships, power dynamics, or self-sacrifice are brought up for resolution.

Eclipses have a way of revealing unresolved karma, often by bringing up people or situations from the past that trigger similar themes of individuality versus compromise. For example, if someone has been overly independent or neglectful of their relationships, this eclipse series may force them to address the consequences of that imbalance. Conversely, those who have struggled with setting boundaries or asserting their needs in partnerships might find themselves pushed to step into their personal power. Often people from the past can resurface, it’s important to tune in have they truly changed? Their actions? Their intentions so of course…

This eclipse series may highlight karmic relationships—those connections where lessons are learned and patterns from past lives or earlier in this life are revisited. These relationships may surface during the eclipses, offering an opportunity to resolve old debts or heal wounds that have carried through cycles of reincarnation or life experiences.

Aries is a sign of bold action, while Libra seeks peace and balance. The karmic lesson here often revolves around knowing when to act and when to surrender. Those who have karmic imbalances in this area may find the eclipse series pushing them toward situations that force them to confront these dynamics, teaching them the importance of timing and intention in their actions and relationships.

Given all this, it’s common to  experience emotional waves—intense feelings may surface as old wounds are reopened, new ones that arise. This can be uncomfortable but is also a vital part of the healing process. Allow yourself to feel these emotions without judgment. It’s the perfect time to reflect in however you choose to do that such as journaling or meditating.

Even look at what is going on globally collectively, we are in very much a dense upheaval phase, if you’re listening to this you’re likely an empath so very much feeling it too. Think about the nature of eclipses. An eclipse occurs when one celestial body moves into the shadow of another. In a lunar eclipse, the Earth blocks the sun’s light from reaching the moon, while in a solar eclipse, the moon obscures the sun’s light. Things are being illuminated on a global scale for example think about celebrities and what is coming to light or trying to be buried and hidden.

This dance of light and shadow symbolises the cycles of illumination and darkness we experience within ourselves. Just as eclipses bring temporary obscuration, we often face periods in our lives where clarity feels out of reach, and our path seems shrouded in shadow.

One of the most significant themes associated with eclipses is the process of letting go. Things, people, opportunities whatever out of alignment will get ‘eclipsed.’ Eclipses prompt us to release what no longer serves us—whether that’s limiting beliefs, stagnant relationships, or outdated patterns. This release can feel heavy and dense, like a weight we’ve carried for too long. However, just as the moon eventually reveals its light after an eclipse, we too can emerge lighter and more liberated on the other side of our letting go.

During this time in between eclipses, it’s common to experience a sense of upheaval or disruption. Unexpected events may surface, forcing us to confront what we’ve been avoiding or perhaps has been hidden in the shadows. While this can feel uncomfortable, it is also an opportunity for profound growth and transformation. The heaviness we feel often indicates that we’re shedding layers of old energy, clearing the way for new possibilities.

What I’ve really noticed amplified particularly in this season is the unexpected which you would see in my Instagram posts of late. When we encounter surprises during an eclipse, it’s essential to lean into the uncertainty rather than resist it. The universe is presenting us with an opportunity to align more closely with our true and highest selves. Embracing the unexpected allows us to adapt and grow in ways we might not have anticipated, leading to new paths and insights.

On a final note intuitively what I feel the flavour right now is a sense of things happening or coming to an end that you essentially knew already was coming. Coming back to your true self and what you truly want. Perhaps its a truth you’ve perhaps been avoiding or not fully acknowledging.

Life often has a way of circling us back to things we’ve always known deep down. We get caught in distractions, in the stories and expectations placed upon us, but there’s always a quiet inner voice—one that whispers the truths we don’t want to face. When you reach that point where things are coming to an end, it’s not a surprise, because somewhere within, you already knew this was inevitable. It’s that sense of déjà vu, that realisation that what is unfolding was always written into the path, waiting for you to see it clearly.

As things shift and close, there’s also a homecoming—coming back to your true self, the part of you that knew what you truly desired all along. It’s a time of unlearning and stripping away what no longer serves you, so you can stand in your authenticity once more. This space, the void   invites you to reflect on what you truly want, beyond the noise, beyond the expectations. It’s the raw truth that was always there, waiting for you to claim it.

This process is both a release and a renewal—a shedding of layers and a return to the core of who you are, the dreams you hold, and the life you’ve always known was yours to live.

Thus kicks off the October new moon solar eclipse on the 2nd presents an opportunity for new beginnings and manifesting. In this phase, take time to set clear intentions for what you want to manifest in your life. What new projects, relationships, or experiences do you wish to invite in?

What can really help during the in between is tapping into your intuition. The energy of the lunar eclipse has likely heightened your awareness, making it easier to connect with your inner wisdom. Spend quiet moments in reflection or meditation, asking yourself questions like, “What does my heart truly desire?” and “What steps can I take to align with my authentic self?” Trust the insights that come to you during this time. I’ve found revisiting your human design to be super helpful for many clients I am working with too.

As we navigate this transformative energy, it is so important to ground ourselves in nature whether its a beachside walk or sitting in your garden or the park, nature helps us connect with the Earth’s rhythms. It reminds us that just as the seasons change, so too can we embrace our personal transformations with grace and resilience.

Here are some journaling prompts to help you gain further insight into what’s going on for you personally during this time;

What is life asking you to release right now? Reflect on any feelings or situations that surface. Are there recurring patterns or attachments that no longer align with your higher self? Think about how letting go could open space for new possibilities and personal growth.

Which areas of your life feel imbalanced? Take a moment to evaluate aspects like work, relationships, or self-care. What emotions arise when you focus on these areas? Consider how restoring balance could improve your overall well-being and happiness.

Have you experienced anything unexpected recently? Reflect on your feelings around these events. Often, surprises offer valuable lessons. How might these experiences be guiding your personal growth or encouraging you to embrace transformation?

What beliefs or habits related to love and relationships should you let go of? Identify limiting beliefs that may be holding you back from deeper connections. How have these shaped your past, and what might change if you released them? Imagine the kind of love and relationships you want to invite into your life and how releasing these patterns could support that.

Are there relationships in my life that feel ‘karmic’—where lessons seem to repeat or feel heavy? How can you approach these relationships with more awareness and compassion?

What are the recurring challenges or conflicts you experience in connections and partnerships? How could they be tied to past actions or decisions?

Are there past relationships or experiences where you feel unfinished business? What might you need to release, forgive, or understand to move forward?

How do any fears of being alone or overly dependent affect your decisions in this Aries and Libra eclipse series?

Where do you need to set or strengthen boundaries? Reflect on any relationships or situations that leave you feeling depleted or overwhelmed. What boundaries could help protect your energy and support your well-being?

What qualities do you want to embody as you step into this next chapter? Think about the traits or characteristics you’d like to cultivate in yourself. Are there role models or inspirations that reflect these qualities? How can you learn from their example as you move forward?

How can you invite more joy and fulfillment into your life during this eclipse? Explore activities and that relationships that bring you happiness. What small steps can you take to introduce more joy into your daily routine? Reflect on how practices like gratitude or mindfulness might shift your perspective and allow you to savour the beauty in everyday moments.

As we navigate the energy of September lunar eclipse and the October solar eclipse, remember to honor your emotions, reflect on your insights, and embrace the new beginnings that are just around the corner.
