Life Anyway

The final episode of Season One is a solo chat with Kelly Ingraham about the lessons of this time, especially the call to go inward. Kelly shares some of her own personal realizations, the big themes coming up for us all, and how to apply these to your life. A mini class, Kelly offers journalling prompts that have catalyzed some of her biggest “aha” moments from this time and a DIY astrology lesson. This week Saturn, Venus and Jupiter go retrograde, bringing an opportunity for even deeper introspection. Kelly talks about what that means, how to look it up in your chart, and shares her own placements as examples.

Join Kelly and Jessica Carson in a candid conversation centering on how each of us carries both light and dark within us and how to awaken to our fullest selves through integration of this polarity. Jessica is an writer, speaker, consultant, teacher and author of the forthcoming (April 1, 2020) Wired This Way, a guide to self-study for creators and entrepreneurs. Wired This Way addresses why the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual imbalances of creative individuals is part of their magic - that our gifts and shadow are one and by diving into them we can come into greater self-understanding. Jessica and Kelly dive into how this applies to the current circumstances of the global coronavirus pandemic and how we are all being called to go inward and address our own darkness. Jessica explains why this is energy is in essence feminine and how all creativity is a feminine quality. Jessica and Kelly each share their musings on this period and how we can use it for our own growth, as well as share their own stories of how they have rebalanced after falling into strong masculine archetypes in their work and career.
