This week May talks about the lessons she went through this retrograde. The universe really tried to catch her slipping but she did not fall. Maybe tripped a few times but her balance was miraculously maintained. She also defines what retrograde is for those who are unfamiliar and tells you how you can prepare for the next one. As we are all here to grow and evolve, you can expect new lessons every retrograde. No one is safe, but it’s all out of love from our dear divine universe.

In this weeks episode may talks about downplaying yourself. Especially, when it comes to your accomplishments. Why do we do that???  May shares her reasons and discusses what has helped her release any negative feelings related to talking about her accomplishments & accepting compliments.

We all know getting back out there could be scary...but getting back out there once you’ve raised your standards ??? Scary can quickly turn into frustrating. Settling is not a term that’s in your vocabulary anymore and you're SPRINTING from the red flags. May talks about her struggle in getting back out there after the bar has been raised. There are pros and cons to this new found wisdom, and not all of it is easy or fun to go through. Though one thing is for certain, the wait will be worth it ! 

On this week's episode May addresses the importance of rest and not feeling guilty about it. Enjoy this night time rant of coming into a space of understanding that taking time off to do absolutely nothing is doing something..especially for your mental health. We live in a world that's constantly on the go, hopping from one project to the next...and for what?? Let’s all agree that working to live is far better than living to work. Rest = rejuvenation. At this point it's non-negotiable.

This week, May talks about being the bigger person and how hard it actually is. Especially, when you’re the one that is wronged and feel like you have every right to be petty after everything that was done to you. However, May explains a new definition she’s adapted that has helped her move forward and feel better about maintaining her peace versus exerting her energy to people that don't deserve it. It’s a constant battle but you deserve peace. 

It’s exhausting always trying to be everything for everyone. It’s exhausting trying to fit into a box and be everything anyone could ever need. If you are someone that feels like this or doesn’t understand the people that do, this episode is for you! This week May talks about her own struggle with the desire to be liked by all. In this episode you will come to realize that people pleasing often comes from deep fears and past hurt. However, to truly live you must let those things go and believe that it's ok to be who YOU want to be despite what others think.

Here is the book May mentions that helped her understand what she was going through on a deeper level:

In this weeks episode, Jess joins May for a chitchat about dating someone that overthinks...and by that they mean themselves. As the degrees to which May and Jess overthink can vary, their reasonings for that seems to differ. They chit chat about different scenarios and needs that are necessary, as well as ways that qualities in  partner that are mandatory if one is to ever date someone who thinks a lot. It's not as bad as the world can make it seem. Overthinking doesn't always equate to unnecessary drama. Sometimes you realize that it stems from past events you're trying to prevent from happening all over again.
