Lit AF Relationships

We’re talking about astrology with this week’s guest Dana Augustine. She is a teacher, astrologer, and the host of the Self Help Witch podcast. She kicks off the episode with an astro update so you know what’s going on in the cosmos. We then go on to chat about sobriety, codependency, and where to learn more about these topics in your astrology chart. I got a reading from Dana last year and I love the way she makes astrology incredibly approachable. It’s an entry point into healing. And she shares how she has used it as a tool for self-awareness. Dive into the episode to learn more about using astrology on your own healing journey.

Today I’m joined by career coach Ali Dunn. We have an amazing conversation about why it’s important for women to start speaking up in the workplace and asking for raises. She shares her top tips and tools for cultivating confidence and working with imposter syndrome. My favorite tip she talks about is having a brag folder. And how taking action is so important when dealing with imposter syndrome and perfectionism. She also shares how she is balancing a career with motherhood. There is so much in this conversation. Ali makes the tough topics approachable and relatable with a healthy dose of humor. Dig in if you’re looking for some career inspo.

This week I am joined by astrologer Nadia Diamante. Nadia is an ethical hedonist, sapphic queer with an irreverent and wild spirit and a love for all people of all identities. She gives us an astro update and explains how she incorporates asteroids and mythology into her work. Nadia is hilarious and obsessed with Gen Z-ers. Throughout the conversation Nadia queers astrology forcing us to question the white male gaze that has been fed to us for centuries. She finishes the convo explaining how to find asteroids in your own chart and encourages all of us to do our own astrology research. Tune into get your astro report.

This week I share why grief is at the very bottom of every core wound and trauma we’ve experienced. Grief does not like to be touched. She loves to be by herself. But when you find her she’s got a lot of valuable things to say in order to heal. I get to the story of grief by way of perfectionism. It’s a personal share of how I’ve honed my perfectionistic tendencies throughout my life. I share how it showed up in ballet, my nonprofit career, body shaming, and ruminating on convos. At the very bottom of my perfectionism is the desire to be loved and with that is a lot of grief for every moment I didn’t receive it. So buckle up! It’s a funny one.

Today I am joined by therapist and coach Taune Lyons. We discuss ALL things attachment style and how she uses it in her practice. We cover reparenting, immersing ourselves in secure environments, and the five pillars of secure attachment. She shares recommended somatic practices to feel safe enough in the body in order to be more vulnerable in relationships. Basically it all comes back to SAFETY! We finish the convo talking about how she helps her clients define their own gender identity and sexuality. She shares so many resources that are linked below.

Today I chat with Galactic Seer, Beth Kiacz. She shares how she helps clients develop their own relationship with channeling and spirit guides. She has an earned-secure attachment style recovering from fearful-avoidant as a child. Channeling and communing with her spirit guides have really helped her develop trust and ease anxiety in her body. Which are the two most important things for fearful avoidants to heal. We go further into how to stop people-pleasing and why ancestors like to hang out in our throat chakra. I thoroughly enjoyed gabbing with Beth it was a delightful convo.

Today I am joined by shadow work coach Rachael Besser and Lesley Stevens. We happened to attend the same networking event and all came down with COVID at the same time. We share how we all got through it together. We get into the details of how it affected each of us differently, what tv shows got us through the week, and what we learned from the experience. This is no way medical advice. Not at all. No way, not here. We like to leave the medical advice up to the professionals. But it is a hilarious and heartwarming recounting of our experiences. We wish you all happy healing and/or continued avoidance of COVID-19. MWAH!

This week’s episode features Chinese-Canadian Breathwork Coach & Intuitive Guide, Christine Lu Singh. We talk about all things breathwork. She shares about her transition from her corporate PR job into being a breathwork facilitator. She talks about the divide she felt between her soul and her ego before she made the leap into her new career. And she also shares how to gently move through trauma using breathwork. We then shift to talk about her process of co-authoring a book while pregnant. I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation and highly recommend it for anyone that is interested in embodiment tools.

Today’s episode is all about habits with holistic health coach, event designer, and hatha yoga instructor Livia Marati of Ina Wellness Collective in Guam. She shares what helps drive healthy habits and the motivation to keep them. My favorite part was her sharing about her morning routine which involves the simple steps of lighting incense and putting on music. Habits don’t have to be over the top and complicated. They simply must inspire joy. Simple. Easy peasy. We finish the conversation by talking about how seasons affect habits and how to work with them instead of against them. This includes all seasons including the calendar year, menstrual cycle, and the moon phases.
