In this semi-impromptu and transparent episode, I reflect on a season of transformation that's unfolding in my creative life, relationship to astrology, business, identity, and upcoming marriage.

Speaking not as a coach or astrologer but simply as a human in transition, I explore what it means to outgrow the systems, labels, and structures that once offered me safety and direction.

Through reflections on creativity, personal branding, commitment, trust, and the uncertainty of becoming, this episode becomes a meditation on identity dissolution and reinvention.

This is my very honest exploration of what happens when the containers that once defined you no longer fit — and how to navigate the messy, sacred space before clarity arrives.

While this is my declaration that this podcast and my other creative spaces are in the midst of change, I am committed to continue to showing up here as I process this change in my identity and creative work.

Themes explored:

• Identity dissolution & reinvention
• Creativity beyond systems
• Marriage as threshold ritual
• Expansion requiring more space before reconfiguration
• Rejection of personal branding culture
• The sacredness and fear of not knowing

Gemini season begins in the mind.

After the grounding and embodiment of Taurus, this is where things begin to move again — ideas multiply, conversations quicken, curiosity returns. Gemini is mutable air: curious, connective, restless, and alive with possibility. It gathers information, follows threads, asks questions, and searches for meaning through movement, dialogue, and exchange.

But this Gemini season is going to feel different.

For the first time in over 80 years, Uranus is in Gemini, initiating an entirely new collective era around communication, technology, learning, identity, and the way we relate to information itself. The weeks surrounding this shift feel electric, mentally stimulating, and full of unexpected insights, conversations, and turning points that will continue unfolding over the next eight years.

This season asks us to rethink what consistency means, to follow curiosity instead of certainty, and to explore the versions of ourselves emerging through change. Alongside the mental expansion, there’s also a deep emphasis on the body and emotional intelligence as Mercury moves into Cancer and Venus-Jupiter offer some of the most nourishing astrology of the year.

Between the Sagittarius Full Moon, the Gemini New Moon, and a series of major outer planet transits, this season becomes a bridge between old ways of thinking and entirely new possibilities — inviting us to imagine different futures, new forms of leadership, and more value-led ways of living, creating, and connecting.

In this episode, we explore:

• Gemini Season themes
• Uranus in Gemini beginning an 8 year era
• Emotional intelligence with Mercury in Cancer
• Leadership & Collective Responsibility
• Sagittarius Full Moon
• Venus Conjunct Jupiter
• Chiron in Taurus

The houses are one of the most essential parts of astrology, but they're also often one of the most confusing.

In this Astrology 101 episode, I break down the 12 houses in simple, accessible language so you can better understand what you’re actually looking at when you pull up your chart. We explore the houses as the “where” of astrology: the different areas of life where your experiences, relationships, desires, fears, work, creativity, and growth unfold.

I walk through each house one by one – from the body and self of the 1st house all the way through to the subconscious and hidden life of the 12th – while also explaining how signs, planetary rulers, and even empty houses shape your relationship to these different parts of your life.

This episode is an invitation to begin building a real relationship with your chart: not just memorizing meanings, but understanding how your life is patterned, connected, and expressed through the architecture of the houses.

My conversation with Giana explores the deeply personal nature of systems change – revealing how true transformation begins within.

Giana shares her journey from navigating unsafe early environments to working across education, government, and corporate systems, ultimately arriving at a powerful truth: we each hold agency within the systems we inhabit.

Together, we unpack co-ownership, inner liberation, and the courage required to face ourselves fully. This episode reframes “doing the work” as an unglamorous but profound process of self-awareness, compassion, and choice—where even the smallest acts of rebellion can become catalysts for meaningful change.

Astrology is a phenomenal tool for helping a person piece together and define who they are. It’s a system that can explain what shape of the universe we’re embodying while in this lifetime – and I love it for that.

But astrology is also a timing tool, one that helps us understand when certain events are going to occur, and where in our lives they will unfold – and that part of astrology is a part I find exceptionally valuable.

In a world in which time is our most precious resource, wouldn’t it be helpful to have a system that tells us how we’re going to be activated ahead of time? Where our attention will be focused? What things we’ll be called to do, and learn about, and respond to? So that we could better plan and choose how we show up – with less guilt, less questioning, less confusion?

In this episode I to share with you the ways I utilize the planetary movements to help me plan my time – in alignment with my moods, my energy, my interests, and to support my larger goals and visions, and from a yearly, seasonal, monthly, week and daily viewpoint.

Taurus season begins in the body.

After the fire and initiation of Aries, this is where we slow down and ask: how do we make this real? How do we take what’s been sparked and build it into something sustainable?

Taurus is fixed earth – steady, grounded, and devoted to what feels nourishing and true. Like the middle of spring, growth is already underway. So now it’s about tending it – deepening roots while allowing for steady, embodied expansion.

But this Taurus season is going to look and feel a little different.

After eight years, Uranus completes its journey through the sign, closing out a long chapter of disruption and value redefinition. As it moves into Gemini, a new era begins – one that reshapes how we think, communicate, and connect.

The season opens with intensity, and continues with two very tender lunations – the Scorpio Full Moon and Taurus New Moon. By the end of the season, there’s a sense of mental expansion and creative breakthrough – a shift into a new way of thinking and being. And some of the best days of the year are found on May 18th and 19th

In this episode, we explore:

• Taurus as grounded, embodied growth
• The shift from Aries initiation to Taurus integration
• Uranus ending it’s 8 year stay in Taurus and entering Gemini
• Navigating early-season intensity and burnout
• The Scorpio Full Moon and deep emotional reckoning
• Mercury in Taurus and intentional expression
• Aligning action with values and collective change
• The Taurus New Moon and working with tenderness
• Creative breakthroughs with Mercury–Uranus
• Returning to softness, connection, and stability

This is a season of rooting into what’s true while allowing it to evolve.

I’m so happy to have my new online friend turned IRL friend Sarah Kleist on the podcast today! Sarah is an actor, designer, web designer, and multi-passionate creative, and in our convo we explore what it really means to be a multi-hyphenate in today’s online entrepreneurial world.

From holding multiple identities with confidence to using creativity as both a coping mechanism and a form of expression during uncertain times, Sarah shares how her career evolved from theater to web design during the pandemic, and how storytelling connects everything she creates.

Together, we unpack visibility as a practice – not just for business growth, but as a way to expand self-expression, confidence, and presence in everyday life. We also dive into the relationship between creativity and joy, the power of showing up authentically, and why having fun might be the most underrated strategy for success.

This episode is a reminder that your path doesn’t have to fit into one box—and that your art, in whatever form it takes, is enough.

Q2 of 2026 feels like the season where what we’ve been planting begins to show us what’s actually growing.

In this episode, I walk through the astrology of April, May, and June – moving through Aries, Taurus, and Gemini –and explore what this quarter asks of us collectively: clearer action, deeper discernment, and a stronger relationship to what truly nourishes us.

We begin with the heat and activation of Aries season, where momentum returns and emotions can become important information, move into the grounding and restorative qualities of Taurus, and then enter the accelerating, idea-rich energy of Gemini as Uranus in Gemini opens an entirely new collective storyline.

This quarter starts with some intensity, but by June there is real sweetness—more connection, more clarity, and moments that remind us what is worth caring for, building, and protecting.

Somatic & Creative Practices for each month:

April:

• Somatic practice: Do something that allows you to experience and dispel heat
• Creative practice: Spring cleaning

May:

• Somatic practice: Dance
• Creative practice: Do the hard stretchy thing

June:

• Somatic practice: Rest deeply + water-based nourishment

• Creative practice: Write and send love notes

After weeks of intense astrological build-up, the Spring Equinox opens the door to a new astrological year, and this one feels unmistakably different. With the Sun entering Aries and immediately activating Saturn and Neptune in Aries for the first time, we’re stepping into the seeding of an entirely new collective storyline around identity, leadership, and selfhood.

If the last few weeks have felt intense or destabilizing, this season says: claim the new narrative. The spark has been lit, and now it’s time to consciously work with it.

The final weeks of Aries season turn up the heat.

What begins as a tender desire to protect something new within us quickly intensifies into a season of combustion, courage, confrontation, and recalibration. With Mars entering Aries, a powerful Aries New Moon, and multiple Mars–Saturn–Neptune activations, we’re navigating fire in its rawest form: motivation, anger, inspiration, frustration, and identity reckoning.

This episode explores:

• The deeper meaning of Aries as initiatory fire
• The Sun’s activation of the new Saturn–Neptune cycle in Aries
• Mercury stationing direct on the North Node (a fated forward shift)
• A relationally rich Libra Full Moon at 12º
• Venus entering Taurus and restoring sweetness, pleasure, and stability
• The volatility of Mars–Uranus and Mars–Neptune
• A highly charged Aries New Moon at 27°
• Mars conjunct Saturn: hitting the wall
• How to work consciously with rage, inflammation, and blocked momentum

This is a season about learning how to handle heat – in your body, your relationships, and the collective – without letting it burn everything down.

00:07:59 Week 1 (March 20-21) – Fated Forward Shifts

00:12:52 Week 2 (March-28) – New Storylines

I’m so excited to share this conversation with cultural philosopher, strategist, and fascinating human, Chelsea Riffe ✨

This episode is a deep dive into curiosity, original thinking, and what it means to develop your own philosophy in a world that constantly tells us what and how to think.

We talk about why curiosity is being quietly trained out of us, how endless inputs (social media, AI, media cycles) can cloud our ability to think clearly, and why cultivating a distinct worldview might be one of the most valuable currencies of the next decade.

Chelsea also shares the thinking behind her new program, Supernova – a modern philosophical salon for creative entrepreneurs who want to build ideas, frameworks, and schools of thought rather than just more “content.”

This conversation is a statement for how and why allowing yourself to think a little more deeply (and a little more weirdly) might actually be the thing the world needs most right now.

If you’ve been craving more depth, more nuance, and more meaningful conversations, this one is for you.
