In case you missed my live conversation with my friend Laurie Gunning Grossman, you can still watch our replay. This is a good one!

I was so honored to chat with Laurie about the summer ahead, what to expect, and how to use this time to shape your next steps while still enjoying the season.

I also made a very exciting announcement about the summer program I’m launching at the end of June. It’s for people who are feeling a little confused and uncertain about their next steps and want a simple, structured method to help them focus on one goal that will really move the needle in their lives. Instead of trying to do it all this summer, it’s about focusing on doing one thing well so you have the structure you need to get it done, and freedom you want to enjoy the season! Four calls, four weeks, easeful and effective. Boom. (More to come, but if this interests you reply and let me know and we can chat further.)

In my 30 minutes with Laurie, we covered a lot of ground:

* The astrological and collective energy of 2026 — why so many people are craving a win right now and what that craving is actually pointing to

* The daydreaming trap: what it is, why it keeps us stuck, and how to recognize when you’ve slipped into it

* Structure as a doorway to freedom — and why that’s not the contradiction it sounds like for people on a spiritual path

* Small wins as a strategy: how connecting incremental steps to bigger goals builds real momentum instead of overwhelm

* Voting against yourself: the subtle ways fear of visibility and attachment to old stories keep us from moving forward

* The September 1 exercise: a practical way to identify one or two goals that would genuinely change your life by end of summer

I love my friend Laurie so dearly. Connections with her in Sedona last year was such a gift, as it is with everyone I meet these days. Friends, this is how the world works when it is at its best.

I work practically, talk spiritually, love science, and believe the unknown has many gifts to offer us when we engage with it.

Let’s have a great week!

Trust yourself and be well!

This is a month to get busy and get it done. June is the end of the first half of the year and it’s a good time to wrap up what you’ve learned and start embodying the new you. July is going to be another game-changer so we’re going to want to have recalibrated, alchemized, and metabolized all that we’ve learned so far.

In this podcast I speak about a new program I’m launching in July that focuses on One Summer Win.

* We focus on one manageable goal for 4 weeks

* You move the needle where it counts so you don’t have to play catch-up in September

* You still have plenty of time for the joys of summer like kids incongruent camp schedules, long dreamed-of getaways, and last-minute rosé with friends

Are you ready for your summer win that will make all the difference?: Let’s Talk

Theme of This Week: Eyes on the Horizon

📌Think of it this way: It’s an intense week and we all need to remember that squares and squeezes lead to lasting change.

♊️ Energies this Week

May 25 - Sun square Nodes, Mars square Pluto, Sun Trine Pluto

May 26 - Grand Air Trine

May 28 - Venus square Saturn

May 31 - Full Moon in Sagittarius

💫 Integrating these Energies in Real Life:

This is going to be a week of squeezes and pushes. When I coach people I remind them not to fear the hard stuff, but instead to see it as information they can use to inform their future. I know it’s not always that easy, but the wheel of life is always turning and this year is particularly busy. There is no escaping change, and that isn’t a bad thing.

This week things are heating up again - we rarely get a reprieve this year - and June is going to be a busy month that brings us into a very busy summer.

May is going to go out with a roar and that’s okay. Let it be a big month and know that we’re all being set up for change, growth, and excitement ahead. The world is keeping us on our toes, so meet it where it is and let’s make this a good week.

🎯 4 Things to Focus on This Week:

1️⃣ Nimble

2️⃣ Reflect

3️⃣ Awareness

4️⃣ Trust

Trust yourself and be well.

Let’s have a good week!

Theme of This Week: Surprise!

📌Think of it this way: We’ve had a week or two of brightness and ease in May and now we are moving into more game-changing weather.

♉️ Energies this Week

May 18 - Mars into Taurus, Venus into Cancer

May 19 - Mercury Trine Pluto

May 20 - Sun into Gemini

May 22 - Sun conjunct Uranus, Mercury sextile Saturn

Since we’re all sitting in a giant energy grid it’s important to know the energies at play so we can harness them and use them to our advantage. This week is still a week for action, but also for staying flexible when the surprises come your way.

Theme of This Week: Soak it up

📌Think of it this way: This is a week with a lot of beneficial alignments. Get excited for it and the new moon that caps it all off next weekend!

♉️ Energies this Week

May 13 – Mercury sextile Jupiter

May 14 – Sun conjunct Mercury (Cazimi)

May 16 – New moon in Taurus, Mars conjunct Chiron

May 17 – Mercury moves into Gemini, Mercury conjunct Uranus

💫 Integrating these Energies in Real Life:

I love this week. It starts off with a glow from the Sun sextile Jupiter on Sunday. This energy sets the tone for an exciting week ahead. A lot of this week will center around communication with Mercury in the mix. It’s going to ping a lot of planets and the reverberations will be felt by all.

Take this as guidance to use the week to communicate what you’d like, what you want, and where you want to go. Put values into motion through words, and make words part of your action. Equally as important, read a lot and take in as much as you can. Knowledge is power. This is new era is about witnessing the tall structures we’ve built that have elevated a chosen few fall the pieces. The rebuilding won’t be about building another tower. Instead, it will be about rebuilding intentional communities so we all work more like bees in a hive than serfs to people on pedestals.

The new moon at the end of the week is a real line in the sand. After a tumultuous first few months of 2026, we are landing on stable ground as individuals. Taurus is an Earth sign and it’s really time to keep seeding and tending to our gardens now and through November. Remember, seeding can be anything from what we want to grow, what we want to accomplish, what we want to do for ourselves, and more. It’s about growing things for the long term, not trying bring a vision board to life.

Do note, this also means we’ll also be leaving the fire energy of Aries and having to begin to acknowledge the consequences of the actions taken during this time. World astrology is different than personal astrology, but there are parallels. Continue to focus on empowering yourself to create the future you seek and your own intentional communities. This is the new era and it will take a long time for it to form from what is falling. There is more to come in July and August, but we will save that for future podcasts!

🎯 4 Things to Focus on This Week:

1️⃣ Communicate: Get out into the world with your words and use them to build the next steps you seek.

2️⃣ Read: Take in all the knowledge and input you can, using curiosity and discernment as you go.

3️⃣ Move: This energy will move and feel good. Keep up your pace and move throughout the whole week with your eyes on the horizon.

4️⃣ Certainty: We are firmly in the new era now and it’s time to use this energy to your benefit. Love it and move with it!

Trust yourself and be well.

Let’s have a good week!

Theme of This Week: Stay steady

📌Think of it this way: We start off the week with two big squares, then Pluto stations retrograde, and then Sunday brings us one of the luckiest days of the month. Some weeks are like this and it’s nothing to be wary of, just know you might have to stay nimble.

♉️ Energies this Week

May 4 – Mars squares Jupiter

May 5 – Mercury squares Pluto

May 6 – Pluto goes retrograde

May 10 – Sun sextiles Jupiter

In Kabbalah we’re still in the period called the Omar, which is all about rebuilding your vessel to hold more light and energy. In this time we might be confronted with temptations from our old belief system and we’re going to have to choose not to go backwards, only forwards. Can we all feel the examples? I can!

💫 Integrating these Energies in Real Life:

This week begins with some pressure, some squeezes, and ends on a high. In the middle Pluto goes retrograde, which usually reflects the themes of this planet going inward for a while. Pluto is so far out in our solar system, I don’t think we’ll feel this too much. I think it will be more about the themes of transformation downshifting a little bit.

This is a week to stay nimble and keep your eyes open for opportunities for growth, moments you to have draw boundaries, and let the luck come in too. This might be a good time to revisit the idea of creating your own luck, because May is a brighter month for these lucky moments.

I’m a little less stressed about reporting on this month than I was in April. There was just so much intensity last month and I didn’t want to lead anyone astray or fearmonger. The reality is the world is changing, the petrodollar is collapsing, and we’re all beginning to see how intentional communities are the way forward in our world. This isn’t about upending who are you and what you do, but the inner work on knowing who you are and achieving individuation and then walking more confidently in yourself is essential. Allow the Uranus in Gemini transit to rewire both your internal and external world.

🎯 4 Things to Focus on This Week:

1️⃣ Grow: Remember a square = squeeze = growth. Just let it happen. It may be more external or more internal. Either way, accept and let it happen.

2️⃣ Rewire: Consider this an overarching theme for the next 7 years.

3️⃣ Create Your Own Luck: Luck isn’t about a genie in a bottle. It’s about taking the action towards what you want and trusting the outcome will arrive.

4️⃣ Trust: Keep building towards where you want to be by late summer. The energy is funneling us all in this direction and we’ll be happy we put in the work now as the era continues to shift.

Trust yourself and be well.

Let’s have a good week!

I blend spiritual insights with grounded service to help you build a life of meaning and fulfillment.

You’re never stuck in your story; you’re meant to live happily and with ease. It’s my mission to empower you with this truth.

How are we all feeling now that April has come to a close? A little wind-whipped? Yeah, me too. April was never going to be an easy month. Game-changers months rarely all. Even thought it doesn’t mean it was bad, it was likely very fast and a lot to process.

In my world, I’ve been working hard on my SOUL portal, which I intend to launch by the end of this month. It’s built around my four coaching pillars;

* Know Who You Are

* Know What You Want

* Know How You Want to Live

* Bring it to Fruition

I’m excited to share this but working on it has been a lot. I’m constantly dancing between racing to get it done, but being forced to metabolize information and let it form naturally. There’s a lot of tension in this process - but it’s necessary!

This month will be a little lighter, a little breezier, but not because less is happening. We’ll be doing plenty of square dancing, Uranus will throw in a few twists, and there are TWO full-moons. However, it won’t be quite as intense as the fire heat of Aries season.

The whole purpose of this podcasts is to remind you of your abilities so you can navigate life and make yours as meaning and fulfilling as possible. I use the data provided by astrology and my spiritual teachers to give you the context of the larger energies at play so you understand the broader themes in our world. These themes from the macro are always reflected in the micro.

As a coach who helps people focus on their future, I’m always studying what’s ahead so I can prepare people to harness these energies effectively instead of feel they’re at the mercy of them. This doesn’t mean we have complete control over our future, but it means we can use our power in the present to shape the lives we love and trust the Universe will work with us.

As of next month, this workbook will be available on SOUL. I’ll be using this portal as my living library, and yes, there will be a lot of great content that’s constantly updated for only $15/mo. This keeps it all simple for members, but also makes it easier for me. I’ll have more information about it soon.

Theme of This Week: Turning the page

📌Think of it this way: We’ve walked through the fire and are wrapping up one of the most intense months of 2026. Whatever thriving and growing is here for a reason, whatever was burned down now gives us ashes to rise from. There’s a lot being very obviously dismantled right now, the transparency is so obvious, so let’s let it fall and focus on building anew.

♉️ Energies this Week

April 28 - Venus in Gemini trines Pluto in Aquarius

May 1st - Full Moon in Scorpio

May 1st - Venus in Gemini sextile Saturn in Uranus

May 2nd - Mercury enters Taurus

In Kabbalah we’re still in the period called the Omar, which is all about rebuilding your vessel to hold more light and energy. In this time we might be confronted with temptations from our old belief system and we’re going to have to choose not to go backwards, only forwards.

💫 Integrating these Energies in Real Life:

The Uranus ingress into Gemini is still going to reverberate for the next few days, and then we’ll be prepared for the long term changes, too. This week gives us a little breather, otherwise, as we wrap up an extremely intense month. The full moon is somewhat intense, but it’s not a heavy one. It kicks off the month with an ending that needs to happen.

How have you felt it? What do you need to integrate? In a call with my teacher Carissa on Friday we talked about how the new, higher energies keep hitting pockets of old sediment, stuff that needs to be cleared out. This is the shadow work, this is the healing work, the self-awareness we all must possess to become the light workers. However, this doesn’t mean we’re all supposed to lean into woo-woo lines for work, it just means we’re meant to choose the higher timeline, choose the higher energy, and stay there to the best of our ability.

I know the powers that be want us to stay in scarcity mode, in fear. But that’s because when we’re there they can maintain control. The gift of the cosmos right now is that transparency is clear and what’s obviously flailing won’t last. Our job is to have faith in return of power to the people from Uranus in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius, and use the power we’re given with integrity and humility. When we maintain our ethics we can move forward in the best way.

🎯 4 Things to Focus on This Week:

1️⃣ Stay open: It’s easy after a month like April to feel closed off, but stay open to possibilities and what can come.

2️⃣ Community: Uranus in Gemini is all about community and it’s time for us all to commune now and into the future.

3️⃣ Expand: Expand your energy as far and wide as it can go. This is the time to be out in the world.

4️⃣ Trust: We’re still in an intense corridor. This energy does not let up this year. The process is leading us into a new way of living with mind-heart coherence. This doesn’t mean we have to change what we do for a living, or who we are, it just means we have to activate our hearts and leaning into our commonality instead of seeing one another as enemies or “other.”

Trust yourself and be well.

Let’s have a good week!

Theme of This Week: Allow the game to change

📌Think of it this way: This week Uranus finally changes signs to Gemini, we’re still in peak fire energy, and Pluot comes out to play. What’s forged in the fire will last, but we can’t resist the change. This is the week to move with it, even when it’s uncomfortable, and all the game to change

♈️ Energies this Week

April 20 - Sun into Taurus, Mercury conjunct Saturn

April 23 - Venus conjunct Uranus

April 24 - Venus moves into Gemini

April 25 - Uranus moves into Gemini

April 26 - Sun trines the North Node

In Kabbalah we’re still in the period of the Omar where we’re trying to build our vessels for the new year. Keep using constructive language, taking constructive action, and giving your dreams structure. This tracks with the astrology of the time and it’s going to continue for the rest of the month.

💫 Integrating these Energies in Real Life:

This week is more volatile than the first half of April. We’re now moving into a time where the energy is a little more haphazard in that it will whip to and fro, destabilizing our lives and our emotions to some degree. Don’t be scared of this, just be aware. The purpose isn’t to scare us, it’s force us to choose the higher energy, the higher timelines that are available to us.

We all know we don’t make moves when we’re comfortable where we are. Even if there’s a degree of discomfort, we will still choose it over the unknown. So, the cosmos do their job by forcing us into discomfort so we start to reimagine what a comfortable future will look like to us, and bravely walk into the unknown to shape it.

Uranus is always working to speed things up and change the game in this pattern. This is when we get the bolt out of the blue we can’t predict! Throwing this into the mix is always something else, but it keeps life interesting that’s for sure.

As we close out the month of the April the most critical thing is to remember to not make fear-based decisions. Stay out of scarcity mode. It can be easy to retreat to a place you feel “mostly good” or content in the name of safety. However, choosing that comfort to be your shelter from the storm won’t serve you in the long run.

The new era is here and we all must participate. The old will continue to collapse and dissolve, while the new is already being seeded and cultivated. The liminal space is where we all converge to grow and change, understanding the new hasn’t completely arrived yet, and that’s okay.

🎯 4 Things to Focus on This Week:

1️⃣ Where do you want to be by late July?: Think this through very carefully. The energies of May & June are milder, but July is wild. The Pluto in Aquarius power back-to-the-people is real. Imagine the energy of institutions we thought were serving us literally being transferred back to us as individuals. This is the call! Where do you want to be by July? Then, make a plan.

2️⃣ Roll with it: The wave of Aries energy is pushing us so hard. Surf it. Roll with it. Do whatever you need to do to be flexible. Keep taking action with purpose.

3️⃣ Zoom out: I love the mechanics of change. But even I need to be reminded to zoom out and remember the bigger process at play. Though it can be alarming, it’s also comforting. Gaining perspective of the big picture is always a good idea.

4️⃣ Certainty: This isn’t about ostriching yourself, it’s about knowing you can handle whatever comes your way right now. Have complete certainty in that.

Trust yourself and be well.

Let’s have a good week!

Theme of This Week: Into the Deep End

📌Think of it this way: This week we are hitting the peak of April fire energy. There is no turning back, only moving forward, but we must take care not to burn ourselves out.

♈️ Energies this Week

April 13 - Mars conjunct Neptune

April 14 - Mercury sextile Uranus

April 15 - Mercury enters Aries

April 16 - Mars sextile Pluto

April 17 - New Moon into Aries

April 18 - Mercury sextile Pluto

April 19 - Mars conjunct Saturn

In Kabbalah we are in a period called the Omar that will last another 40 days and it’s all about rebuilding your vessel to hold more light and energy. It feels like we are in these cycles a lot with Kabbalah, it’s all a lot of the same message but with slightly different context and purposes. This period is to allow things to leave and challenge ourselves to build anew. We must break up with old illusions and stories and realize it’s the energy we give the stories that makes them seem true to us. In this time we might be confronted with temptations from our old belief system and we’re going to have to choose not to go backwards, only forwards.

💫 Integrating these Energies in Real Life:

All the data this week points to big heat. This is a week we will all be fired up and feeling some pressure. The key is to stay out of fear-based decisions, let yourself feel your passions, and put yourself into the arena.

The presence of Neptune in all the heat is good. The creative energies and the action planet merge to get things rocking and rolling. This week points to inspiration and evolution and acting on them.

I can’t emphasize enough how much I want everyone to seed new thoughts, dreams, and any other initiatives this week. It’s a time for working with the heat because the chaos on the world stage is not going to let up. Stay informed, but focus on where you want to be by late summer and work towards that.

🎯 4 Things to Focus on This Week:

1️⃣ Transformation: This is a week that transform. Think of how fire transforms a substance, it will do this to all of us so feel the heat, use your thoughts, words, and actions for good, and allow it to happen.

2️⃣ Communicate: Use your words carefully this week. It’s easy to be a week of intense energy and we should commune with one another, but be careful as we do so.

3️⃣ Sustain: With all the fire energy we will be motivated and I encourage you all to treat yourselves well so you can sustain this energy and not tip over into burnout.

4️⃣ Trust: Between now and late July we’re in a big, intense corridor. As the timelines split it’s essential we move with the higher one by using our hearts as a compass, keep our minds and hearts in coherence, and work from this alignment.

Trust yourself and be well.

Let’s have a good week!
