It’s been 5 weeks since I’ve been on IG, and here’s what I’ve learned:

• My brain craves stimulation and will reach for it every opportunity it gets.
• Not every thought that becomes conscious in my mind is mine to own (or share).
• Habits require conscious interruptions if they’re ever going to change.
• Third spaces are our keys to creating social resilience.
• We have to spend time with people that we didn’t choose to necessarily be with if we’re ever going to save society.

In this episode I chat through all the ways I’m witnessing my brain change in real time as I spend more and more time away from this platform. And how in the “de-conditioning”, I’m discovering all the value I’ve been craving – via other outlets of connection, and self-expression.

At the end of this episode I leave you with the question:

• What are you unconsciously choosing (that’s actually not in alignment for you) and that has you too scared to go against the grain?

Now that I'm officially off of IG for the foreseeable future, I'm bringing some of my personal like updates to the pod!

After a month of hosting friends and family, throwing big gatherings at the house, and generally being way more social that usual, I'm digesting everything that's been shifting in my day to day life, my sense of identity, and my understanding of my roles in community online and IRL.

I chat the energetic influence of Uranus in Gemini, the Saturn-Neptune conjunct in Aries, and Pluto in Aquarius and how these major planetary placements are impacting me, my clients, and also you – and most importantly how we can work with them so they don't work us.

Comment and let me know if you've also been feeling the big shifts in your own life, and be sure to check out Constellations for astro support through August and beyond.

I have the pleasure of hosting the incredible Kaitlyn Kessler!

Being in Kaitlyn’s orbit has been so inspiring simply because she exudes this level of alignment in all of her work and communication. It's alignment that’s not just beautiful, but it's also subtly ultra bold and very brave.  

We recorded this episode a few months ago before she made the massive move to Spain from Charlotte, SC. It’s so fun to listen back and hear her declarations of what she was anticipating her life to look like once she landed in Europe, and to now be witnessing all of that unfolding for her in real time. 

We talk a lot in this episode about the power of telling your own story, and we go back and forth between the benefits of being seen in public and also how scary it is to put yourself out there, and  be seen.

Wanting in Public Podcast

Thanks for tuning in!

This month we're invited to explore the intersection of leadership, community, and responsibility.

With Mercury still retrograde in Leo and Saturn in Aries influencing the Full Moon in Aquarius, the first half of the month invites you to examine your long-term plans, structural power dynamics, and your role as a leader, particularly within community contexts.

This Full Moon wants to ask you: How do we balance personal authority with collective responsibility?

The New Moon in Virgo continues this theme by offering a potent time to reflect on how you communicate, express your ideas, and lead with integrity.

Virgo’s earthy practicality supports grounding these ideas into real, tangible practices — but with Uranus squaring the lunation, you’re also invited to be bold and visionary, shake up stale narratives, and ditch perfectionism in favor of purpose-driven presence.

Key Dates:

• 08.09 Full Moon in Aquarius
• 08.23 New Moon in Virgo

Welcome Leo Season!

Officially beginning July 22nd, this month includes a Mercury RX, along with several planet ingresses (sign changes) – many of which activate the Saturn–Neptune conjunction in Aries.

What does this all mean?

We’re going be reviewing a lot of the ways in which we do things, the ways in which we show up and demonstrate leadership, how we express ourselves and find harmony in our relationships, and what we want to uphold in our ever evolving identities.

And, if that doesn’t sound like enough fun, there’s also going to be even more erosion of systems and structures that used to make sense, but are in the process of being released for new things to be built.

Mentioned:

• Astrology readings with me
• Constellations with Jess Ellen Astrology

Key dates:

• 07.22 Sun enters Leo
• 07.23 Sun sextiles Uranus

Today I'm joined by fellow designer, creative, artist, and curiosity-follower Kristina Bleiler of Gem Creative Co. Kristina has been such an inspiration – since the moment I started following her I knew she brought a special playfulness, depth, and inquiry to the creative work she does.

In our conversation we talk about the power of community - online and in person, her experience of growing up in the church, and how moving away from that foundation, and into a life emboldened by her own curiosity, guided her to be an entrepreneur and leader with integrity and openness.

Kristina was such a joy to chat with, and I hope you get as many gold nuggets out of this episode as I did!

This week's episode is inspired, not just by the day this episode drops (July 4th) but also the conversations I've been having lately in my communities and with myself.

Questions like:

• What makes you feel free?
• How are you restricting your own freedom?
• What inner division, insecurity, doubt, or violence are you waging against yourself that is keeping your from your own liberation?

In this episode I explore the ways in which we can not only find freedom within ourselves, but also how we can use our freedoms and privileges to support others in being able to access their own.

Freedom is not something that is given to us – we have to protect it.

In this midyear episode the lunations ask us to assess our long-term visions, and definitions of embodied leadership.

The polarity of Cancer and Capricorn is highlighted during the Capricorn Full Moon, and we're invited to examine how practical ambition and inner nourishment must work together. It's also a great moment to reflect on what you’ve built so far this year, what you’re still devoted to, and how your body can serve as a compass for what truly matters.

The Leo New Moon forms a tense opposition with Pluto in Aquarius, triggering deep questions about power, leadership, and identity. Reflect on themes from early November, January, and April to determine the emotional echoes or power dynamics that might be resurfacing around this time.

Key Dates:

• 07.10 Full Moon in Capricorn
• 07.24 New Moon in Leo

Welcome to the very first installment of the Solar Series!

For this first installment, we're diving into Cancer season. These next 4 weeks will be dominated by the feeling, nurturing, safety-seeking energy of Cancer, with a few key moments from Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus that will strongly impact your energetic flow.

I loved this recording with Kristine from @wellwithkristine!! As a somatic coach and all around wonderful human, Kristine and I get into the nuances of the world of somatics – how her origins in the corporate world drove her directly into burnout and from that place of complete physical disassociation she found herself redirected into the magic of somatic therapy.

In this episode we chat what it’s like to not live from the neck up, the power of healing in community, the magic of being Cancer suns (and having the same birthday I might add!), Kristine’s ambitions for making somatic therapy more accessible, and the bravery required for the business.

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I enjoyed chatting with Kristine!
