In this reflective episode, we’re harnessing the themes of The Star Card as we look back with reflection and appreciation. It's been quite a year (to say the least,) and we're dishing out the raw, real deal – from breakups to breakthroughs and all the things we’re no longer entertaining as we enter into a new year. 

We also chat about:

• How our journeys from 'living luxuriously' while traveling to facing daily triggers back home have redefined our perspectives
• Unpacking the power of our thoughts and words and how they’re shaping our upgraded reality
• Shifting our financial stresses to vibrating on the frequency of abundance
• Dating and the 'Dirty Sock Theory': Our approach to attracting the love life we deserve

+ so much more!

The Star Card Deconstructed: Imagine The Star Card as a cosmic cheerleader, heralding a renewal of hope, strength, and energy, especially when the going gets tough. It's a celestial nod to the Universe's hidden blessings, even when the path seems chaotic and littered with obstacles. This card is your gentle nudge to remember your inner resilience and to brave the unknown with faith. It's the Universe whispering, 'You've got this,' right after a rollercoaster ride."
