Journalist Maressa Brown joins Julia to discuss her new book, Raising Baby by the Stars. She explains how astrology can teach you about your child and support your parenting. Maressa also made a few major life pivots that found her restructuring her life as a married woman employed in lifestyle journalism in NYC to a single woman freelance writing for women’s magazines in LA.

IN THIS EPISODE:
- [03:07] Maressa shares who she is and how astrology framed her life from infancy. She also discusses moving from one form of journalism to another
- [11:56] Maressa outlines how a child's natal chart will reflect what they become and what characteristics they will have
- [14:13] Discussion of the north and south nodes and how they connect with the planets. She talks about Gemini, Mercury and Aquarius
- [17:01] Maressa shares that there are connections between a child’s planetary placement and the parents and how astrology becomes another tool in your toolkit of parenting
- [25:12] Maressa discusses how she met her fiancé and how she created the life she dreamed of, and the most significant challenge she faced moving from New York to LA
- [34:42] Maressa discusses her infertility journey and how she and her fiancé handle the discouragement and encourage one another
- [42:22] Maressa tells how you need to stand up for yourself going through the IVF process, and she expresses what family means to her
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Maressa’s book discusses how astrology predicts your child's emotional well-being and how they grow, learn, and develop.
- A parent can clash with their child because of their signs
- A person needs to stand up for themselves when seeing a doctor. Self-advocacy is critical.

BIOGRAPHY:
I’m a Los Angeles-based journalist, author, and astrologer with nearly two decades of professional experience covering lifestyle, astrology, parenting, and pop culture. Whether I’m delivering expert-voiced astrology writing, doing one-on-one interviews with celebrities like Jane Fonda, Channing Tatum, Serena Williams, Jimmy Fallon, or Mindy Kaling, developing and penning my signature monthly horoscopes for publications like InStyle or brands like Geico or Neutrogena, or tackling in-depth features on buzzworthy trends, my copy is conversational and substantive. I have appeared in live and taped-to-air video segments as a commentator on WGN-TV and Good Morning America. My content area specialties include Health, Love & Sex, Astrology, Parenting, Pop Culture, News & Politics, Beauty & Style, On Camera, and Branded Content. A graduate of Emerson College, I’m also a member of the International Society for Astrological Research (ISAR) and the Authors Guild.
