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.

Thank you for joining me as we reflect on 2025 and have a taste of what’s to come in 2025. We’re stepping into a year of transformation, growth, and bold decisions, and I’m so grateful to have you along for the journey.

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.

Solar Eclipse in Aries  – Final March 2025

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.

Beautiful Soul, as this episode is released I am currently running a retreat in Bali which centres all around the Lion’s Gate episode and so I wanted to share some of the magic with you in an episode about the Lion’s Gate which is 8/8.

In the ancient tapestry of human history, the stars have always guided us, providing insights in to the secrets of the universe and providing light on our paths. The Sirius star system holds a place of profound significance, particularly in the context of the Lion’s Gate Portal.

For the ancient Egyptians, Sirius was not merely a distant star but a cosmic beacon of rebirth and transformation. Known as “Sopdet” in their language, Sirius heralded the start of the annual flooding of the Nile, a life-giving event that transformed the arid land into a fertile oasis. This celestial event was more than an astronomical occurrence; it was a sacred promise of renewal and abundance, deeply intertwined with the cycles of life and the spiritual rhythms of the cosmos.

As the Lion’s Gate Portal opens, it does so with the energy of Sirius at its core. This cosmic gateway, which peaks every year around August 8th, is a powerful alignment of our Sun with Sirius and the Earth’s position in the sky. It symbolises a period of extraordinary potential, a time when the energies of Sirius blend with the dynamic force of the Leo constellation, creating a potent moment for manifestation and transformation.

Sirius, the brightest star in our night sky, has long been associated with the divine, the mysterious, and the transformative. Its light, arriving from over 8 light-years away, illuminates not just our physical world but also our inner landscapes, offering a glimpse into the deeper realms of our consciousness. When aligned with the Lion’s Gate, this star amplifies the energies of courage, creativity, and leadership, urging us to embrace our highest potential.

The numerology of the date 8/8 also plays a role in the abundance and prosperous energy that comes with the Lion’s Gate. The number 8 symbolises infinity, balance, and material success, reinforcing themes of wealth and achievement. Many believe that the Lion’s Gate acts as a cosmic portal, elevating our vibrational frequency and making it easier to attract and receive abundance.

Let this be a time to reconnect with the ancient wisdom of the stars, to honor the cosmic cycles that guide us, and to embrace the radiant energy that flows through the Lion’s Gate. As you stand before this energetic gateway, know that the universe is aligning in your favour and the time has come to step boldly into the fullness of your potential.

Imagine a celestial gateway opening wide, its frame adorned with the shimmering light of a thousand stars. This is the Lion’s Gate Portal, where the universe aligns in a cosmic symphony to amplify your dreams and desires.

As the sun’s golden rays meld with the radiant energy of Sirius, the Lion’s Gate ushers in a wave of potent, transformative power. It’s a time when the fierce, regal energy of the lion merges with the vast expansiveness of the cosmos, creating a celestial dance that invites you to step into your most authentic self.

Feel the heartbeat of the lion’s courage pulsing through you—a rhythm that urges you to rise, to claim your space, and to boldly stride towards your deepest aspirations. This is no ordinary moment; it’s a call to awaken the fierce lioness within, to harness her strength and her unyielding spirit to manifest your dreams.

Envision yourself standing before this majestic portal, the shimmering light wrapping around you like a warm embrace. The Lion’s Gate invites you to shed old fears, to release what no longer serves you, and to step boldly into the limitless potential that lies ahead. It’s a time for profound transformation, where you can align your intentions with the vibrant energy of the cosmos and let your heart’s true desires take flight.

Let the lion’s roar echo through your being, filling you with the confidence to pursue your passions and dreams with unwavering determination. This is a moment to embrace your inner power, to lead with grace and authenticity, and to manifest the life you’ve always envisioned.

As you walk through this cosmic gateway, carry with you the wisdom of the lion: the courage to face challenges, the strength to overcome obstacles, and the heart to follow your dreams with fierce, unrelenting passion. The universe is aligning in your favour, opening doors you never knew existed, and illuminating the path to your highest potential.

Embrace the Lion’s Gate Portal as your invitation to shine, to dream boldly, and to manifest the life you’ve always desired. Step into this radiant energy with confidence, knowing that the cosmos is conspiring in your favor, and let your dreams roar into reality.

Work with Phi

Hello Beautiful Soul, Welcome to August 2024 and we are officially in Leo season with the upcoming new moon on the 4th.

Okay let’s go Leo New Moon! This is the most potent and magical time for manifestations as it tees up nicely with the Lion’s Gate portal of 8/8. The background to all this as we have been witnessing collectively is funky, big mysterious changes are ahead for all but we can’t say for sure what look at what’s unfolding in the US elections and the perception of the Paris Olympic Games Opening Ceremony. 

I’m being told to focus on the inner light and not being drawn to the funk that is there. To channel big LEO energy.

Imagine a stage bathed in golden light, where the spotlight finds its true home on a single, radiant figure. The main character. This is the essence of Leo—You are both the star and the stage, your heart the music.

Leo is the heroine of her own grand narrative, embodying a fierce bravery that defies the ordinary. She strides onto the scene with a boldness that electrifies the air, her every movement a testament to the courage it takes to follow one’s heart. Her path is illuminated by an inner light that refuses to be dimmed, a beacon guiding her through shadows and challenges alike.

In the grand theatre of life, Leo doesn’t just seek the spotlight—she commands it. She leads with a charisma that captivates and inspires, drawing others to her side with the magnetic pull of her authentic self. Her leadership isn’t about dominance, but about setting the stage for others to discover their own brilliance, too.

Leo’s energy is a celebration of self-expression in its purest form. Imagine a canvas where every stroke is a vivid declaration of who you are, a palette bursting with colors that have been waiting for this moment to be expressed. In the Leo light, there is no room for self-doubt; only the exuberant joy of being unapologetically you. It’s an invitation to sing your own song, dance your own dance, and paint your own masterpiece.

At the heart of Leo’s essence lies a deep connection to the inner child—the part of you that dreams without limits and loves without fear. Leo beckons you to reconnect with that pure, playful spirit, to embrace the wonder and curiosity that once defined your world. It’s about rediscovering the magic that lives in the simplest moments and allowing it to fuel your creative endeavours and personal growth.

To be touched by Leo’s energy is to feel the pulse of possibility, the call to rise above mediocrity and embrace the fullness of one’s own potential. It’s a call to harness the raw, untamed power of the heart and channel it into dreams, passions, and aspirations.

Leo calls us to embrace your inner spotlight, take bold steps towards your dreams, and lead with the fearless love that only you can give. The world awaits the story only you can tell, so shine brightly and let your light blaze a path for others to follow.

Here are 8 powerful journal prompts that you can do to channel the energy of the Leo New Moon in August 2024;

What is a dream or goal you’ve been hesitant to pursue, and how can embracing Leo’s courage help you take the first step?
Reflect on a dream or goal you’ve been holding back on. How can you channel Leo’s bravery to move forward with confidence?


How can you better express your authentic self, and what does self-expression look like for you under this Leo New Moon?
Consider ways you can show up more authentically in your life. What forms of self-expression resonate with you, and how can you incorporate them into your daily routine?


What are the areas of your life where you feel like you’re not fully shining, and what actions can you take to bring more light and visibility to these aspects?
Identify areas where you might be holding back. What steps can you take to let your true self shine in these areas?


In what ways can you embrace your inner child and allow her to guide you in pursuing your passions and desires?
Connect with your inner child’s dreams and creativity. How can embracing this playful spirit help you pursue what you truly want?


How can you use the Leo New Moon energy to set powerful intentions for your personal and professional growth?

Reflect on your personal definition of leadership. How can you take charge of your life and inspire others while embodying Leo’s dynamic qualities?


What fears or self-doubts are holding you back from fully embracing your potential, and how can you use the Leo New Moon to overcome them?
Explore any fears or doubts that might be inhibiting your growth. How can you use Leo’s fearless energy to address and overcome these challenges?


How can you celebrate and honor your achievements, no matter how small, and use Leo’s energy to build a habit of self-celebration and gratitude?

With each breath, I channel the majestic energy of Leo, turning aspirations into reality with fearless grace.

My heart beats with the rhythm of courage, guiding me to leap beyond my comfort zone and into greatness.

In the spotlight of the New Moon, I shed my old self and emerge as a dazzling new version of me.

My voice is a powerful instrument, and under the New Moon, I tune it to the frequency of my highest aspirations.

I am the cosmic playwright, penning a new act filled with courage, creativity, and boundless potential.

Insight into the energy and vibe of the Capricorn Full Moon taking place July 21st 2024. This episode also provides journaling prompts and questions for the Capricorn Full Moon with the themes being that of family, career, letting go, endings and beginnings as well as balance.

Work with Phi

This full moon is the second in that of Capricorn with the first one taking place 4 weeks prior on the 21st of June. Think of the previous full moon laying down foundational pieces of insights and information with this full moon to conclude it. You might find you’re having a do over, second review, a second chance as to whatever was taking place around the 21st of June. Was there something weighing you down? Something that didn’t fully finish? Something you needed to take responsibility for? A boundary to put in place?

It’s on the cusp of Cancer transitioning into Leo season. When these two come together it’s the thematic energy of family. Cancer is the mother of all the signs ruled by the moon, the feminine. The opposing partner sign of Cancer is Capricorn seen as the father of all signs, ruled by Saturn, which we know is all about structure, discipline and hard work.

Saturn is of course retrograde right now and has been since the end of June and will be until mid November this year. Paired with the full moon it’s a beautiful time to revisit, review and reassess any areas where Saturn is within your astrology and human design chart as well as general Saturninan themes such as discipline, structure, boundaries, personal responsibility and long term goals. The goal of Saturn is to establish strong foundations so keep that in mind too.

To also note energetically the degree in which the full moon in Capricorn is taking place is in the 29th which is the last degree of any sign known as the “degree of fate” so it marks a time where what has been brought up often signifies an ending, a breaking point, a breakthrough. The full moon in Capricorn has reached her peak, full self. It’s that moment after running a tiring marathon that it’s been a journey but at last here it is in sight the end: you can almost taste it and touch it. In fact this particular full moon in Capricorn has the nickname of the “buck moon” as during this time of the year because buck, deers, have fully developed their antlers, and it is time to shed them to start again and grow new ones.

Again given Saturn Retrograde it may be the time for unfinished business or karma to resolve itself for you to address, grow and evolve.

This leads to well 0 degrees which is the starting point of any sign and in terms of the cosmos, the planet Pluto is in that for the sign of Aquarius which means collectively we can expect the unexpected of new beginnings.

Without getting into the nitty gritty of everything going on in the cosmos, alongside the influences of Chiron the wounded healer in Aries, Neptune in Pisces, Mars and Uranus in Taurus it’s a dense pressure cooker with regards to internal tension and emotions arising from beneath the surface and shadows. Capricorn is an earth sign so really focus on practices such as grounding and earthing a well as spending time in nature to relax, reset and release. It’s feeling to me energetically like one of those moons that feels like a lot in the moment but afterwards and the end you feel so much better for it, lightened and lifted. Capricorn is the sea goat after all so instinctively and intuitively you know how to navigate the sometimes choppy, other times still waters of your emotions and the subconscious.

Without further ado, let’s get into some journaling prompts shall we?

Timing + Energy

Reflect on what was going on for you at the end of June compared to now?

What is coming to an end for you at this moment in time? What do you consciously want to let go of and shed?

Can you relate to a deer and it’s time to shed antlers? Does this correlate with the season and timing of your life? Linking to the past episode I did intuitively on identity shifts. Is one taking place for you in this current cycle of your life?

How would you like to see your life shift and change in the long term, say next 5 to 10 years?

Family

What is the state of your current family relationships and dynamics?

Are there any unresolved issues or tensions within my family that need addressing at this point in time? How can you approach this from a compassion and nurturing perspective for yourself?

Career and Reputation

Capricorn is linked to career and public image/reputation.

What is currently going on for you in your career and is there anything you need to complete and/or let go of? Is there a desire or need to recalibrate within your career?

How do you think you are perceived at this point in time whether it’s personally or professionally? What can you do off the back of this information?

Emotions

How can you balance your emotional needs with your personal responsibilities?

Reflect on a harmonious balance and interplay for you between nurturing yourself and having discipline and structure. Perhaps take inspiration from deer: gentle, sweet, innocent, graceful, loving, strong, protective – they are very attuned to what is going on around them.

Are you feeling like you are changing? You might be going through an identity shift. This episode is all about what is an identity shift, why an identity shift may occur, the emotions that can come up when going through an identity shift as well as practical tips and mindset perspectives on how to navigate and embrace an identity shift happening.

Hello beautiful souls, and welcome to today’s episode inspired by the 8 beautiful women I am taking on retreat to Bali in less than 3 weeks! A beautiful golden thread that weaves amongst us all is that we are all navigating and relating identity shifts whether its in regards to different stages of life or a coming of ages for example.

It’s so interesting for me to speak about it especially given my human design personally I have a completely open and undefined g centre and with that comes a common misconception especially for reflectors that it means you have no identity which isn’t true. I definitely have one and if you were to ask people who is Phi I think you’d find they would say human design expert, life coach, positivity queen, beach living, the colour orange, sunflowers and so fourth.

Thus we have this concept of self appointed identity and your true identity. There’s so many layers to this and I delve into this in greater depth in Chapter 7 Self Identity of my book The Great Unlearning available as a physical book, e book and audiobook too by the way!

I write that learning is that

You are (insert name). You are (insert number) years old. You are a (insert job here). 

Who are you? Who are you really? Are you you because of you or because the world made you this way? Do you know your place in this world? How do you answer those awkward ice breakers in a group environment? Fun fact about yourself? (Cue the anxiety racking your brain for one.) Two truths and a lie? What makes you, you? You are normal, right?

We have labels and ways we attempt to understand ourselves ultimately as a divine soul having a human experience. Our identity is one of those ways we make sense of the world and the best tool, modality and framework for that in my opinion is human design because it’s so incredibly powerful. It’s a map and guide to who you are through the lens of your energy, personality, where energy flows between different parts of who you are, life themes and amongst a diverse and rich set of information found in your human design blueprint which I’ll add I do readings as well as online blueprints which you can find on my website and to book in a reading with me.

So how did identity shifts come into the fold of conversation well the other day last week I found myself at the beach on the sand after I swim where I used to live for four years and it dawned on me that I hadn’t been back since I moved out off the back of the breakup 2 years ago with my ex partner of 3 years.

I had this moment where I was like wow I am so different to the girl who used to come to this beach everyday whether it was 5am before work and side hustle life coaching or 11am on a Monday to soak in my new found freedom running my own business.

That in itself I had so many identities tied to this one moment time and strangely but not really because nothing is a coincidence is it, that hey I happened to also end up at this beach around the time we parted ways for good when my ex partner moved back to England.

A few of the identity interplays I had back then:

I was going through my Saturn Return at around the age of 27. Before my Saturn Return begun I had just moved to my own two bedroom apartment and planned to have a hot girl single summer before I ended up meeting my ex partner, falling in love and he moved in with me. I was in a high flying corporate job as a brand strategy manager when the pandemic happened and with reduced work hours I had the downtime to start my passion project my Instagram which led to my side hustle as a life coach by demand and now it’s almost three years full time as a life  coach in my own business.

By the end of my Saturn Return my ex partner and I broke up and I moved to my dream apartment at a neighbouring iconic beach. If we take Saturn Return to extend to 31 for it’s final completion that’s still underway but here I am thriving and loving life three years as a life coach, have written a book, made multiple 6 figures in my business, about to take a group of incredible 8 women on retreat to Bali and recently celebrated one year with my new partner. Whewwww Saturn Return I know. As you can see so many different identities here: single, in a relationship, corporate identity, employee, self employed like even the suburbs I lived in previously was more a beach lifestyle, chilled settled down community to iconic, busy and bustling.

It aligns and makes sense to me of course that my book is The Great Unlearning: Awakening to living an Aligned and Authentic Life with the symbol being that of a phoenix. See that as a parallel to our identities within a life time, dying to rise and reborn from the ashes of our previous.

Such a worthwhile, life changing experience of identity shifts but not without it’s challenges, I think these two quotes could summarise my experience:

“Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don’t belong.”

Mandy Hale

“We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.”

Joseph Campbell

Identity shifts refer to significant changes in the way individuals perceive themselves and how they define their roles, values, and beliefs. These shifts can occur gradually or suddenly and can be influenced by various internal and external factors. They often involve a reevaluation of one’s self-concept and can lead to a transformation in behavior, attitudes, and life choices.

Major life events such as marriage, divorce, becoming a parent, or experiencing the death of a loved one can trigger identity shifts.

These transitions often require individuals to adapt to new roles and responsibilities, leading to a redefinition of their self-identity.

“Grief does not change you, Hazel. It reveals you.”

John Green

When my Dad was ill and passed away when I just turned 20 I became someone who lives life to the fullest, travel, try things I would never do such as when he was sick backpacking around Europe at 18/19 solo. Going to a festival by myself at Tomorrowland. Opening myself up to new experiences I previously said I would never do or consider.

As people grow and mature, their values, beliefs, and priorities can change.

Personal development activities, such as education, therapy, or spiritual practices, can facilitate self-discovery and identity shifts.

Coming out of spiritual closet, feel more comfortable once I left my corporate job for example but if I’m honest it started earlier with me sharing updates on the moon.

Changing careers or job roles can significantly impact one’s sense of identity.

Entrepreneur the way I see money e.g. investment vs a debt.

Moving from a familiar profession to a new one can lead to a reassessment of skills, strengths, and professional identity.

Going back to school, higher education.

Migration, exposure to different cultures, or changes in societal norms can prompt identity shifts.

Adapting to new cultural environments can lead to a blending or reevaluation of cultural identities.

Going back to Vietnam sparked this in me. A sense of pride, understanding my family more, my roots, ancestry and lineage.

Experiencing a major health crisis or achieving significant health goals can alter self-perception.

Overcoming illness or making substantial lifestyle changes can lead to a renewed sense of self.

Entering or leaving significant relationships can prompt identity shifts.

Interactions with new social circles, partners, or mentors can influence one’s self-concept.

Comparison to other people, self discovery

Inner reflections, midlife crises, or existential questions can lead to identity shifts.

Individuals might seek deeper meaning and purpose, prompting a reevaluation of their identity.

Other points Phi discusses:

“Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we’ll ever do”

Brené Brown

The aftermath of what can happen after a kitchari cleanse: emotional clearing and release. Phi touches on what emerged in terms of her emotions, shadow self and aspects of self as well as touches on themes of conscious partnerships: polarity, masculine and feminine energy, feminine testing and being all of who you truly are in a relationship.
