The Daily Fix: Intuitively Led Business

Being Yourself In Business (Even The Weird Bits)

Being yourself in business sounds like soft advice until you actually do it in front of a live room. I binned the prep for a live call, worked the way I really work, and the connection in that room was instant.

I had proper prep for this one. Strategic approaches, the right order, the flow it should follow. Then I asked Spirit and went with the energy of the group instead.

What came out was the stuff I don't usually narrate. Spirit moving through my body while I was teaching, my throat and chest going red like hives, the tree in my garden I ask to call people in, the names I write up on my window before I hold a space. None of it is trained. It's just how I work.

Being yourself in business gets sold as a vibe. In practice it means saying the parts you assume nobody wants to hear, in a room where staying on script would be easier. This one is about the layers you keep to yourself even in spaces where you feel completely safe, and what happens in a room when you stop keeping them.

IN THIS EPISODE:

- Why I dropped the plan I'd prepped for the live call

- How Spirit communicates through my body, and what I do with it mid-session

- Ritual writing, the window, and asking a tree to call people in

- The layers I don't share, even where I feel completely safe

- What happened in the room when I said all of it out loud

- Why people connect harder when there is more of you in the room

KEY MOMENTS:

00:00 The prep I did, and why I didn't use it

01:00 Red throat, red chest, and Spirit talking through my body

02:00 Speaking to trees and writing names on my window

03:00 The parts of me that don't get seen or witnessed

04:00 Head nods, recognition, and what that told me

"All I was doing was saying some of the things that I say regularly over here."

Shadow Work for Business Owners: Why Witnessing Heals

Shadow work for business owners goes deeper than spotting your patterns, and the myth of Inanna shows exactly where the healing happens. Two oracle cards and a clear morning sky over Orion's Belt pointed straight at the part of you that's been exiled and is asking to be witnessed.

Recorded on the opening day of Threshold, I pull the Cosmic Heart and Karmic Relationships cards from a Rebecca Campbell oracle deck and follow where they lead. The Cosmic Heart asks you to make your life a moving prayer, so your spiritual practice isn't a weekly yoga slot but every moment, including the signs spirit sends on an ordinary dog walk. We're heading into the autumn equinox and the thin veil of October, and this is the season for honouring the dark, the stillness, the bits in between and the transition.

Then into the Inanna myth. When Inanna's sister Ereshkigal, her exiled shadow self, is finally mirrored and witnessed in her pain, she is soothed. That's the piece most people skip, and it's why witnessing matters so much in shadow work for business owners. The conflict between wanting to receive more money and the part of you that was exiled around money can't shift until it's fully witnessed.

If you've done the looking and something still pulls you backwards, this one is for you.

IN THIS EPISODE:

- Why the Cosmic Heart card says to make your life a moving prayer

- How spirit shows up in signs and synchronicities, even on a dog walk

- The autumn equinox, the thin veil of October and honouring the dark season

- The Karmic Relationships card, Orion's Belt and healing karmic duality

- Inanna, Ereshkigal and why witnessing ends inner conflict

- Money blocks as a conflict between what you want and what your shadow holds

KEY MOMENTS:

00:00 Threshold opens and the synchronicities coming through

01:30 The Cosmic Heart card and devotion

03:00 The seasons, the equinox and why SHINE starts in October

04:30 Karmic Relationships, Orion's Belt and karmic duality

06:00 Inanna, Ereshkigal and the power of being witnessed

07:30 What needs to be witnessed in you

"The witnessing is what stops that conflict."

I’d only just drifted off. Laptop still on, room completely dark, and there it is, crawling along the ceiling. Tarantula sized. Not “big for a house spider” sized. Actually big.

I could see the markings on it. More leopard print than tiger, that orangey colour some tarantulas have.

And it wasn’t walking normally.

That’s the bit that told me. So I lifted my laptop up over my head like a lamp, because it was quicker than turning over for the bedside light, and I looked properly. It was still there.

I haven’t done that in a very long time.

I know that state

I was awake. I also wasn’t. That in-between place where the third eye is open and you are seeing into a realm that is absolutely there, just not in the room the way your bedside table is in the room.

This used to happen to me constantly, before I properly started working with spirit. I’d still have been in my 20s. Back then it was praying mantises, and they were huge, the size of your whole hand.

So when it happened again last night, I knew what it was pointing at. My own gifts are opening further.

It took its time. Then it went.

It was the second spider in 24 hours

The day before, I’d taken Jacy out for a walk. I was on the phone to a friend, turned my head, and there was a spider sat in the middle of a very large web. Big one, for me. The colours on it were so prominent that I said out loud, oh, what a beautiful spider.

Then in a WhatsApp group I’m in with some spiritual folk, someone mentions she’s been seeing lots of little spiders around the thresholds of her property.

Three.

And she says thresholds. When I’m opening Threshold on the 17th.

At that point you stop calling it a coincidence, right? You go and look it up.

Don’t complicate anything with senseless thoughts

That’s the line that stopped me, from one of the books on my Kindle. Spider comes in as creativity, assertiveness and patience, and then that.

The thoughts are the web. You spin them out of yourself, and then you get caught in the thing you spun.

Which is the shitty shoulds, isn’t it. The whole apparatus of what you’re supposed to be doing in your launch, in your business, in your body. All of it thread you pulled out of yourself and then walked straight into.

I’m in launch mode right now and this isn’t a simple one. It isn’t a couple of emails and a webinar. There are multiple webinars, an 11 day experience, possibly a healing experience, maybe a second webinar. Plenty there to tangle myself in if I let the shoulds do the spinning.

Which is exactly why the guidance has been so loud around me. Goddesses, yes. Also star seed energy, Arcturian energy that has been with me all year. They’ve been directing how I show up and what I’m doing with my physical body. They put me vegetarian for a while and I’m still in it. I keep asking whether I can have some meat please, and I keep getting a no. So I’m listening. I’m ordering vegetarian HelloFresh boxes because I genuinely do not know what to eat right now, and I’m getting a firm no on meat substitutes this time as well.

That’s what this work asks. And every time I go through it, it makes the containers stronger for the women inside them, because it comes through me first. Not just me. The space together.

The female is bigger. The male often doesn’t survive her.

That was in the entry too, and it made me laugh, because I’m working with Inanna.

If you know the story: Inanna goes down into the underworld to see her sister. Seven gates, and at each one she gives something up. An item, a piece of her identity, until there’s no life force left in her and she dies down there.

She’s brought back. And when she comes up to the surface she goes looking for her husband, who should be in mourning.

He’s on her throne.

Sat in her power, celebrating, having a lovely time, not mourning her at all.

This isn’t anti-men. I always feel like I have to say that, which is its own whole thing. It’s about women understanding how strong they actually are. Women hold the power. Women hold the potency. That’s the entire point of the work I do.

I call it self-sourcery.

You are essentially pulling threads, weaving a web, if you will, from the universe all the time to reconnect in, to be of source. Because we are of source.

Instant by instant

The last line I want to give you from that entry was about presence. That your power over the now is held instant by instant.

I read it and thought, this book is just handing me my own material back.

Because I talk about the moments constantly. Instant by instant is the moments. Same thing, different clothes. And it’s what we’re doing inside Threshold, and inside SHINE.

I’m not promising you a tarantula on your ceiling. They do that kind of thing to me for a reason, and honestly you’re probably fine without it.

But when women work with me, the signs show up. That’s just what happens.

So if you want to go deeper into your own energy and your own channel, and you want to work with powerful stories and powerful beings, channel them, be with them, witness them and experience them, then you know what the next step is.

What’s been showing up around you this week that you’ve been calling a coincidence?

Self-Sabotage in Business: When The Shoulds Hit

Self-sabotage in business doesn't always look like avoiding the work. Sometimes it's the voice that arrives the second you've finished it, asking why on earth it took you so long.

I sat down to record this with my should brain telling me what I ought to be talking about, so I got out of my own way and pulled cards instead. The first one was self-sabotage, which is exactly the kind of timing that makes me laugh.

In this episode I get into the two shapes it takes. There's the one everyone recognises, where the nervous system goes to work on you and suddenly you're exhausted or distracted right before the thing that would stretch you. I call that procrastinapping. Then there's the sneakier one, the shoulds that turn up after you've already caught yourself, telling you that you should have known better, should have been prepared, shouldn't have wasted the time.

I tell you what that looked like for me yesterday with a batch of webinar emails, and why the irritation had nothing to do with how long it actually took.

The second half turns to signs and symbols, the feather that went past my window mid-recording, and the SHINE client whose sign arrived before she signed up.

IN THIS EPISODE:

Why self-sabotage in business often shows up after the work is done, not before

Procrastinapping, and what the nervous system is doing when tiredness arrives on cue

The shoulds, and how to spot them as ego rather than insight

The spiral of having a go at yourself for having a go at yourself

Signs and symbols from spirit, and why a sign doesn't have to be specific to be yours

What Threshold and SHINE are actually working with

KEY MOMENTS:

00:00 Why I nearly talked about something else entirely

00:01 Pulling the self-sabotage card, and the feather at the window

00:02 The two ways ego gets in your way

00:03 The emails, the 6pm finish, and the ugh

00:04 Witnessing it instead of going another round

00:05 Hello from heaven, and the sign that arrived before the SHINE signup

"It took as long as it took."

Virgo New Moon - Creating the steps to release those old patterns

How to actually let go of old patterns starts with knowing that deciding to release something once is never the whole job. In this episode, Julie explains why eclipse season brought your old patterns back up, and what to actually do with that in the days around a new moon in Virgo.

We just came out of eclipse season, and if the last six to eight weeks brought old wounds and repeating patterns back up for you (even the ones you thought you'd already dealt with), you're not imagining it. Julie explains why that clearing energy works the way it does, and why deciding to release something rarely holds if you stop at the decision.

She breaks down how to actually let go of old patterns in real time. Not in the journal entry where you name the block, but in the actual moment (brushing your teeth, out on a dog walk) when the old pattern tries to run the show again.

With the new moon landing in Virgo, she also covers how to use the next few days to set an intention around your identity and your routines, not just your goals.

IN THIS EPISODE:

- Why eclipse season brings old patterns back up, even the ones you thought were handled

- The difference between deciding to let go and actually letting go

- Why "one and done" thinking keeps you stuck in a loop

- What it actually looks like to catch yourself mid-pattern (brushing your teeth, on a dog walk)

- How the new moon in Virgo lines up with routines, rituals, and identity work

- What to do in the three days after a new moon to make the intention stick

KEY MOMENTS:

00:00 Setting up the new moon in Virgo

01:00 What eclipse season brought up over the last six to eight weeks

02:00 Why "one and done" doesn't work and what cyclical actually means

03:00 The moments where you catch yourself (brushing teeth, dog walk)

04:00 What this new moon is asking you to set as intention

05:00 The three-day window and how to make the action small enough to actually do

"The moments are where you get to catch yourself."

EPISODE TITLE:

New Moon Business Ritual: What the Cards Revealed

This new moon business ritual walks through a live tarot pull on the Virgo New Moon, plus the self-talk check most entrepreneurs skip. If you want a specific dark moon practice before the next lunar reset, press play.

Julie pulls three animal spirit cards, then a deities card, live on the Virgo New Moon: Starfish, Wasp, Snake, and Ishtar. Each one carries a different piece of shadow work for business owners: releasing a limited view of what's possible, letting the ebb and flow be normal instead of a red flag, and recognising that things look cloudy right before a real shift.

There's also a straight talk on the words business owners use against themselves when a routine or habit slips, and why that self-talk matters more for a Virgo new moon business ritual than the routine itself. Julie closes with intuition and decision making: trusting what comes through your own channel instead of waiting to be told what to do.

IN THIS EPISODE:

- What Dark Moon Energy actually means and why it's still a releasing window, not a manifesting one

- The Mercury-ruled reason Virgo season is about your self-talk, not your habits

- Starfish Spirit and the invitation to release a limited view of what's possible

- Wasp Spirit on why the sting isn't proof you're doing it wrong

- Snake Spirit, the cloudy eye before a shed, and what that means before a breakthrough

- Ishtar, Inanna, and what "follow your heart, truth prevails" pointed to this week

KEY MOMENTS:

00:00 Dark Moon Energy and the Virgo New Moon arriving

03:13 The words you use on yourself, and the Mercury/air connection

07:19 Threshold and the myth of Inanna as identity work

09:56 SHINE, energy healing, and self-sourcery

13:07 The card pull begins: Starfish, Wasp, and Snake

21:19 Ishtar, Inanna, and where the truth lives

PULLED QUOTE:

"Before your biggest breakthroughs, before your next level up, things are cloudy."

Virgo New Moon: Go Small, Not Big, In Your Business

The Virgo new moon is not asking you for a grand plan for the rest of the year. It's asking for the one small thing you keep pushing to the side because it feels too easy to matter.

Everyone will tell you Virgo is service, healthy habits and routine. All true. What almost nobody says is that Virgo is ruled by Mercury, which is air. Thoughts. The way you think about what's in front of you. So the work of this moon isn't organising your life, it's noticing how you decided the small things were small.

In this episode Julie names the thing most business owners get wrong about resistance, which is the instinct to fix it. Her position is the opposite. Your block isn't a problem and it isn't negative. It's a portal, and witnessing it is what actually moves the energy.

She's recording this mid-launch with a scattered brain and a migraine, in the dark moon, being critical with herself and then irritated at herself for noticing. That's not doing it wrong. That's what looking at the shadow in more depth actually feels like.

IN THIS EPISODE:

Why the Virgo new moon wants small action, not a fourth-quarter plan

What Mercury ruling an earth sign changes about how you use this moon

The email to send instead of rebuilding your entire sales page

Why every block and every resistance is a portal rather than a problem

Witnessing and reframing versus fixing, and why one moves energy and the other doesn't

How dark moon energy turns into self-criticism and the shoulds

The one thing to name, write, circle and highlight before the week is out

KEY MOMENTS:

00:00 Why this new moon isn't about the big grand plan

01:00 Virgo is an earth sign ruled by Mercury, and why that matters

02:00 Small actions that move more energy than a full sales page rebuild

02:30 Resistance to the things that matter most in your business

03:30 Witnessing the block instead of fixing the block

05:00 Pick the one thing you've been putting off because it's easy

07:30 Dark moon energy and being unkind to yourself

"Every block, every resistance is a portal to my next level."

Shadow Work for Business Owners: Another Level, Another Devil

Shadow work for business owners is never one and done, and the further along you get, the smarter your ego gets at hiding. I asked my dog which life with me had been her favourite, and her answer opened up a question about whether you're actually showing up fully in yours.

Jacy is my seven year old Spaniel Lab mix, and I used to be an animal communicator, though she and I don't often do the soul to soul thing. This time I asked her which life with me was her favourite and she said this one, because this one is happening now and this is the most important. Which sent me straight into the question I want to put to you.

If this life you're living right now turned out to be the best one you've had, would you be happy with it? I don't have everything on the checklist. The debt isn't cleared, there's no million in the bank, and I still have a wonderful life. Both things sit there at the same time. This is good, and I want more.

Then there's the version of the question that lands inside your business. You're mid launch, updating the sales page, setting up affiliate links, doing all the things that genuinely need doing, and somewhere in there you lose your magnetism because you've fallen into the shitty shoulds. Not "I should build a funnel," but everything you've decided about how it has to look, how it has to be done, and by when.

And the reason shadow work for business owners keeps mattering is this. The more resourced you are in mindset, nervous system and energy work, the better your ego gets at playing the game, because it's part of you and it knows that you know. Another level, another devil.

IN THIS EPISODE:

Animal communication, past lives, and what my dog actually said when I asked

The question to ask yourself about the life you're living right now

Why gratitude for where you are and wanting more are not in conflict

Where the shitty shoulds hide inside a launch, and how to spot the difference

Why the invisible work is never one and done, and the ego comes back in a new outfit

Ritual and devotion, tending the altar, and what Threshold opens on 17 September

KEY MOMENTS:

00:00 Jacy, animal communication, and the bond people assume we have

02:00 The question I asked her, and the answer she gave

03:00 Would you be happy if this was the best life you've had

06:00 The shitty shoulds, and what a funnel actually needs to be

09:00 Another level, another devil: why the ego keeps returning

11:00 Inanna's descent, the underworld, and the 11 day walk

"This one. Because this one is happening now, and this is the most important."

Ego Death Isn't One and Done

Ego death isn't a one-time event, and the wellness industry selling you the single method that fixes everything for good is lying to you. This one is about why you kill the ego, cross into a new level, and find it standing there waiting for you again in a different costume.

The ego has a job and a purpose, and they are not the same thing. Its job is to protect you. It does that by reading data from your past and building the blocks and limiting beliefs it thinks will keep you safe, which is why it keeps misreading a version of you that already happened. Its purpose, though, is to die. Repeatedly. Ego death is the mechanic, not a single event you get to be done with.

So you clear a block, you cross into a new frequency, and up it pops again wearing a different dress. That is why no single tool or modality is ever enough, and why one-and-done is a story that keeps you buying. Different levels of the ego need different ways in.

This one also gets into the heroine's journey and why women's shadow work happens on the inside rather than out in the open, plus what the shift from summer into autumn is really asking of you when the season calls you inward at the exact moment you are panicking to push forward.

IN THIS EPISODE:

- The difference between the ego's job (to protect you) and its purpose (to die)

- Why it protects you using out-of-date data from your past

- The Super Mario problem: why the ego comes back at every new level

- Why no single tool or modality is ever the whole answer

- The heroine's journey and why our dragons are on the inside

- What the turn from summer into autumn is actually asking of you

KEY MOMENTS:

00:00 The ego's job and its purpose are not the same thing

01:00 Why the ego misreads the signals

02:00 Its purpose is to die, over and over

03:00 One-and-done is a lie, and why you need more than one tool

06:00 The heroine's journey and the dragons on the inside

08:00 The season turns you inward while you panic forward

"Up pops the ego in this level wearing a different dress, different uniform. It's the different baddie at the end of Super Mario that we're fighting."

Shadow work isn't always some big excavation. Sometimes it's just noticing which word on the page makes you flinch, and following that thread.

The morning after the full moon in Pisces, I read the Pisces passage from Lily Ashwell's Heavenly Bodies Astrology deck out loud, and used it the way I use everything with my one-to-one clients: listen more than once, let it drop in while your focus is elsewhere, then watch what surfaces.

This is where thread pulling comes in. The aha rarely lands in the moment. It shows up in a dream, or a conversation two days later, and then you can trace the thread back and keep pulling.

The real shadow work here is simple. Don't hunt for the keywords you nod at. Notice the ones that pull a bit of resistance out of you, because that's usually the biggest thread of all.

IN THIS EPISODE:

- Why the full moon energy isn't finished when the moon peaks

- Reading someone else's words out loud, and why the frequency lands

- Thread pulling, and how the ahas weave together drop by drop

- Working with the Pisces keywords, from intuition to escapism

- Why the word that triggers you matters more than the one you agree with

KEY MOMENTS:

00:00 The full moon eclipse isn't done with you

01:00 The deck I've loved for years

02:00 Listen while you do the dishes

03:00 Thread pulling, drop by drop

05:00 The Pisces keywords, gift and shadow

06:00 Follow the word that makes you flinch

"Sometimes that shadow aspect is right in front of you, and that's the biggest thread to start pulling."

A note on the book: the passage isn't reproduced in the written version, out of respect for the author. Listen to the episode to hear it read in full, or get the deck for yourself. Heavenly Bodies Astrology, written and illustrated by Lily Ashwell.
