Modern Sacred: Women's Work

Welcome to the Modern Sacred: Women's Work Podcast!

In this episode, Chelsea and Abby sit down with lifelong friend and astrologer Rachel Jernigan to explore the rich terrain of self-knowledge, spiritual growth, and the art of being fully human. Together, they reflect on reconnecting as adult women and dive deep into how astrology can illuminate our path toward self-actualization and 2026 astrological predictions.

From abundance and detachment to the dance between human desires and spiritual awareness, this conversation navigates the intersection of ego, feminine energy, and personal empowerment. Rachel and Chelsea also discuss the transformative power of letting go, embracing both our human and spiritual selves, and understanding the cosmic rhythms that shape our collective consciousness.
