Have you ever wondered why midlife brings such dramatic shifts and transformations? The answer might be written in the stars. 

Modern astrologer Tara Redfield takes us far beyond basic sun signs to reveal how our natal charts—cosmic snapshots captured at our precise birth moments—contain profound insights about our life's journey. This celestial blueprint wasn't randomly assigned but deliberately chosen by your soul to guide your path through this lifetime.

Tara skillfully decodes the three fundamental components of natal charts—planets, signs, and houses—showing how these energetic patterns influence everything from your personality and relationships to career transitions and spiritual awakenings. Most fascinating is her explanation of predictable midlife transits that everyone experiences: Neptune square Neptune (bringing identity confusion), Pluto square Pluto (forcing transformative crises), and the Uranus opposition (the classic "midlife crisis" urge for reinvention) all hit between ages 39-46, followed by the healing Chiron return around age 50.

Whether you're navigating midlife changes, seeking deeper self-understanding, or just curious about cosmic influences, this episode offers validation and clarity. You'll discover why you've probably been reading the wrong horoscope your entire life (hint: they're written for your rising sign, not your sun sign), how empty houses in your chart aren't problematic but simply indicate areas that aren't major focal points, and why understanding these patterns helps you navigate life with greater awareness.

Ready to decode your cosmic DNA? Grab your birth time and join us for this enlightening journey into astrological self-discovery that explains not just who you are, but why midlife feels the way it does.

Our midlife spiritual journey often calls us to explore beyond conventional healing methods. When therapy plateaus and we're still carrying emotional weight, what other paths might open doorways to deeper healing?

Angela DeCraene joins us to illuminate the therapeutic potential of psilocybin journeys. As a psychotherapist completing her doctorate in integral and transpersonal psychology, Angela bridges ancient wisdom with modern science in her approach to healing. Having walked her own path from evangelical Christianity to spiritual exploration, she brings both personal experience and professional insight to our conversation about psychedelic therapy.

We dive deep into what actually happens in your brain during a psilocybin journey. The default mode network—responsible for your habitual thought patterns—temporarily goes offline, allowing parts of your brain that don't typically communicate to connect. This creates opportunities for profound insights and healing that might otherwise remain inaccessible. Angela explains why each hour in a psychedelic journey equals roughly one week of heightened neuroplasticity afterward, underscoring the critical importance of proper integration work.

What distinguishes therapeutic psychedelic use from recreational use? Angela and her partner Tammy have developed a holistic preparation and integration model that emphasizes self-leadership, personal autonomy, and careful attention to set and setting. Rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all approach, they create a container for individuals to safely explore their own consciousness with skilled support before, during, and after journeys.

Whether you're merely curious or actively considering psychedelic therapy as part of your midlife spiritual journey, this episode offers valuable insights into this increasingly mainstream healing modality. You'll learn about safety considerations, contraindications, and the importance of timing these experiences thoughtfully within the context of your life circumstances.

Ready to explore new frontiers in your healing journey? Listen now to understand how psychedelic medicines might help decompose what has decayed within us, creating space for new growth and deeper connection with ourselves.

Angela DeCraene is an explorer at heart who approaches both life and work with deep curiosity. As an entrepreneur and trained psychotherapist currently completing her doctorate in Integral and Transpersonal Psychology, she's researching the healing potential of psychedelic medicines—work that bridges ancient wisdom with modern science.

Angela collaborates with both two-legged and four-legged friends in her work, and together, she and her partner in the “deep work” have developed a holistic preparation and integration model for psychedelic journeys. Her passion lies in helping people not just have transformative experiences, but meaningfully integrate those insights into their lives.

A self-described "forever student" and traveler, Angela is drawn to the big questions about consciousness, healing, and what it means to live fully. Whether she's working with clients in some capacity, or exploring new frontiers, she's always seeking the deeper spaces where real transformation happens.

Tammi Janel takes us on a profound exploration of soul healing through plant medicine and intuitive guidance in this revealing conversation about midlife transformation. When faced with a serious medical diagnosis, Tammi didn't just seek physical treatment—she wanted to understand the energetic roots behind her tumor. This quest led her to psychedelic-assisted therapy, specifically psilocybin, which helped her access suppressed childhood trauma she'd carried for decades. Unlike recreational use, therapeutic journeys with plant medicine involve careful preparation, intention-setting, and integration afterward. Tammi walks us through what these sessions entail. What makes Tammi's approach unique is how she weaves together multiple healing modalities. Her soul readings access what she calls "the language of soul"—imagery, feelings, and intuitive guidance that connects us with our higher selves and ancestral wisdom. During the podcast, she shares insights from the reading she just completed with host Jen, revealing how we can distinguish between ancestral lineage (patterns passed through blood) and soul lineage (our higher purpose). The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Tammi introduces her Devoted Soul Method—a seven-step process for soul-led living that includes witnessing, honoring, releasing, surrendering, co-creating, and celebrating. She explains why many of us hit walls in our healing journey despite years of therapy, energy work, and spiritual practices. Sometimes the mind understands what needs healing, but the body still holds onto trauma, requiring different approaches to create embodied transformation. As we reach midlife, Tammy reminds us that this is our chance to live authentically without regret. "Your soul is rooting for you," she says, encouraging listeners to consider what it would mean to look back at the end of life knowing we lived fully aligned with our deepest truth. Ready to transform your spiritual journey? Listen now and discover how these alternative healing paths might illuminate your way forward.

Eavesdrop in on more of my convo with Beth!!! 

Beth Rockert is a CYT-200 yoga instructor, PMP-certified professional, and co-founder of The Om Well Collective Yoga and Wellness Center in Kankakee, IL. With 37 years of experience in Corporate America, Beth understands firsthand the stresses of professional life and is passionate about helping others find balance through yoga.

She loves working with those new to yoga practice, offering variations to every pose so each practitioner can find the version that fits their unique body structure and absorb the intended benefits. Beth weaves together the foundations of both the physical and spiritual practice, providing practical insights for integrating yoga both on and off the mat. She has a particular passion for using yoga to reduce stress, anxiety, and tension, creating a warm and supportive atmosphere in her classes.

Personally, yoga has transformed Beth physically, spiritually, and emotionally. The tools she’s learned through yoga guided her recovery from physical injury and a rare tumor. Breathwork and gentle movement helped her cope with the grief and loss that often accompany serious health conditions, leading her through the exploration of her “new” physical body as she relearned balance and strength.

Beth also holds additional credentials in Chair Yoga, Reiki Levels 1 and 2, Yoga for the Workplace, Yoga Inclusivity, and Yoga Activism. Outside the studio, she’s a proud mom, grandma, and wife — roles that deepen her compassion and understanding of life’s many stages.

What happens when the religious framework you've known your entire life no longer feels true? Beth Rockert, raised as a pastor's kid in a strict evangelical Christian household, courageously shares her spiritual coming-out story and the winding path that led her to a more authentic relationship with the divine.

Beth's journey began unexpectedly through physical healing. After suffering running injuries in her 40s, she reluctantly tried yoga, discovering not just physical relief but a doorway to deeper spiritual questions she had suppressed since childhood. For years, she navigated two worlds – attending church while exploring meditation and alternative spiritual practices – feeling the growing tension between inherited beliefs and emerging truths.

When diagnosed with a rare brain tumor in 2020, Beth's spiritual evolution accelerated during her recovery. Confined to quiet stillness, she deepened her meditation practice and found profound connections with ancestors and spiritual guides. Through vulnerability and raw honesty, Beth reveals how she processed the grief of lost relationships as friends and family struggled to accept her changing beliefs, while discovering an unexpected peace and expanded capacity for love.

This powerful conversation delves into the complex emotions of religious deconstruction – the anger, fear, and liberation that come with questioning core beliefs about worthiness and divine connection. Beth offers practical wisdom for those experiencing similar journeys: finding supportive therapists, practicing self-compassion through journaling, and cultivating patience during the inevitable anger phase. Her story reminds us that spiritual growth isn't about perfection but about authentically embracing our soul's unfolding.

Whether you're questioning your religious upbringing, navigating midlife spiritual shifts, or supporting someone through their own transformation, this vulnerable conversation offers compassionate guidance and the reminder that you're not alone. Ready to step out of your spiritual closet? This episode might just give you the courage you need.

Cannabis might not be what immediately comes to mind when thinking about solutions for menopause symptoms, but this powerful plant is proving to be exactly what millions of midlife women need. With one in four women already turning to it for relief, cannabis offers natural alternatives to pharmaceutical options that often come with unwanted side effects.

In this eye-opening conversation with Ellen Scanlon, host of the "How to Do the Pot" podcast, we explore the science behind why cannabis works so effectively for women's health. The endocannabinoid system—a major regulatory system in our bodies helps maintain balance throughout our physical and emotional processes. When this system gets out of whack (as often happens during hormonal transitions), cannabis compounds can help restore equilibrium.

We dismantle outdated stigmas, addressing everything from the racist origins of the word "marijuana" to the war on drugs messaging that scared our generation away from a plant that humans have used medicinally for thousands of years. Both Ellen and I share our personal journeys to cannabis—hers through recovery from a serious accident and endometriosis pain, mine through insomnia and autoimmune issues that weren't responding to conventional treatments.

The practical information in this episode is invaluable, covering different consumption methods (no smoking required!), optimal ratios of CBD to THC for beginners (hint: more CBD than THC), and how to navigate dosing safely. We discuss specific benefits for sleep, pain, hot flashes, and even better sex, providing a comprehensive guide for women curious about incorporating cannabis into their wellness routine.

Whether you're cannabis-curious or looking to refine your approach, this conversation provides a judgment-free space to learn about a natural option that's helping countless women reclaim their sleep, manage pain, reduce anxiety, and enhance their quality of life during midlife transitions. Remember—start low and slow, and always have some CBD on hand to counteract any unwanted THC effects!

Are you caught in a cycle of endless hustle, feeling disconnected from yourself and struggling to remember why you started your business in the first place? You're not alone. The burnout epidemic is hitting midlife women particularly hard, but energy expert Cindy "Cin" Meckler offers a revolutionary approach to breaking free.

In this transformative conversation, Cin shares her personal journey from medication-dependent burnout to becoming a multidimensional energetics expert who helps women leaders reconnect with their body's innate wisdom. She reveals the subtle, often missed signals your body sends when you're approaching burnout—like mental fog, emotional sensitivity, and that feeling of being completely checked out during conversations. These aren't just annoyances; they're your nervous system screaming for attention.

The beauty of Cin's approach lies in its practicality. Her Three-Breath Reset technique can provide immediate relief in the midst of chaos, while her insights on breaking technology addiction and setting boundaries offer sustainable solutions for the long term. 

For women entrepreneurs, Cin challenges the belief that success requires constant availability and hustle. By tapping into your intuition rather than following someone else's blueprint, you can create a business and a life that thrives with less effort. Those transition periods when clients seem to fall away? They're not failures—they're making space for aligned opportunities that match your evolving energy.

Whether you're battling burnout, seeking to reconnect with your intuition, or simply curious about how energy work intersects with business strategy, this episode offers practical wisdom for reclaiming your vitality. Because as Cin beautifully reminds us, "It takes courage to open the door to a new version of yourself, but time is all you have. It's okay to reinvent yourself over and over—that's what you're here to do."

Let's Connect!

Cindy Meckler is a Mind-Body-Spirit Energetics expert, modern psychic, and speaker who’s helped over 200 business owners move past frustration and stuckness by reconnecting to their body’s wisdom. Her clients call her work “transcending”—because she doesn’t just shift energy, she sparks deep reconnection. Cindy helps you clear the noise, trust your gut, and grow a business that’s as powerful and authentic as you are. She helps you drop the burnout and create success that feels aligned, effortless, and deeply fulfilling.

When a podcast interview goes terribly wrong, it becomes the perfect opportunity to get crystal clear about what truly matters on our spiritual journey. In this unexpected solo episode, I share the raw, real experience of having to stop an interview and dismiss a guest who revealed deeply problematic views that conflicted with everything my podcast stands for.

This challenging moment prompted me to pull back the curtain on my own spiritual evolution – from growing up between two different Christian denominations to teaching Sunday school, and eventually finding a more authentic spiritual path that transcends religious limitations. With complete transparency, I share my current spiritual beliefs: that we're all connected through divine oneness, that judgment and marginalization have no place in spiritual growth, and that authentic living is our true purpose.

What makes this spiritual awakening in midlife so liberating? For me, it's the absolute freedom from fear – especially fear of death. I explore why I no longer believe in hell, how I view Jesus as an ascended master while leaving behind religious dogma, and why I'm actually excited about eventually returning to divine love (though I'm in no rush!). This journey has taught me that setting clear boundaries with people whose paths don't align with mine isn't just acceptable – it's essential for spiritual growth.

Whether you're questioning your religious upbringing, feeling drawn to explore spirituality beyond doctrine, or simply trying to live more authentically, this episode offers permission to trust your intuition and honor your unique spiritual journey. Join me for this unfiltered conversation about standing firm in your truth, even when it means walking away from situations that don't serve your highest good. Ready to reclaim your spiritual journey on your own terms?
