The I Don't Believe in Astrology Podcast

The importance of finding joy - that's one of the messages of this episode with author and writer, Laura Lentz. Laura's gift of weaving words to create the beautiful tapestry of a story is at the forefront of her impact in this life, and it's on display in this conversation as she shares a beautiful piece she wrote about dying.

As Debra and Laura discuss, inevitably death is stalking us all, yet it's how we live and thrive in this life that is up to us. Laura shares about how she dramatically shifted the gears in her life when given a cancer diagnosis; she let her illness be an inivation for change.

Debra dives into Laura's natal chart, discussing how Laura has prominent Virgo and Cancer energies at play, along with a calling within her chart to get serious and be jubilant.

As Laura discusses, we all have a story, and it's within sharing and listening to these stories that we rediscover our humanity and compassion. From Laura's own fight to live and find joy in the face of death, to meeting Carrie Fisher, to a story about a man named Jesus in Kauai, this episode is brimming with tales meant to encourage us all to put out phones down and connect with ourselves and each other.

How do we stay confident through uncertainty? Normal is no longer working; we have to be ready for change. The future is written and we are living it now. This podcast conversation goes where few are willing to go by discussing the uncertain reality of life on Earth, a parallel to how we can lean into confidence during any uncertainty in our own lives. Combine Aquarian spiritual journeys with Capricornian practical application and you get a solutions expert who goes on vision quests!

Your mind will be on fire after listening to this intellectual conversation with fast-moving futurist Brenna Simmons-St. Onge, executive director of The Alliance Center in Denver, Colorado. Brenna is working to bring sustainability and regeneration to humanity, not only with environmental stewardship, but with a collaborative effort between all human systems. Debra interviews Brenna about her work and her passion (uncovered by a major accident) for creating lasting change through tackling the world's multi-faceted problems.

Discussing everything from how The Alliance Center's Regenerative Recovery Coalition was born from a vision in meditation, to how humanity got here 10,000 years ago to the modern-day consequences of separating ourselves from Nature, Spirit and each other, this podcast really shoots straight to the heart of the matter.

Tune in to learn about how meditation and spirituality (including Astrology) are keys to saving humanity, along with Debra and Brenna's predictions for the future in our challenging times.

An open mind that releases all assumptions is the pathway to a diversity of ideas. Science, spirituality, gender identity, queerness, human evolution- this episode delves into all of these topics and beyond, allowing us to drop preconceived notions about what we think we know. We welcome you to a profoundly unique discussion that explores the depths of a Pisces and Gemini mind that award-winning author, filmmaker, and producer Kristen Wolf embodies.

Tune in as Debra and Kristen discuss how they create new realities by seeing the world through the eyes of an explorer, and offer permission to all people to open themselves up to the endless possibilities on this planet.

With strength and vulnerability, Kristen opens up about her own journey as a queer person and the development of her innate creative talent as a writer and producer. Her first novel, The Way, beautifully explores gender identity and divinity in a compelling way, with a twist that will blow the minds of readers and critics. It's a novel that got the attention of O Magazine, which recommended The Way as a "title to pick up now." Kristen's second novel, The Escapement, has also won multiple awards and numerous accolades from readers and writers alike.

As an endless dreamer, Kristen has a special gift for getting people to push beyond boundaries of thought and expression; a very Pisces gift. Her honesty is penetrating yet gentle, and through her own explorations and writings, she shines a light on how one can cultivate a pathway of self discovery. With striking realness, Debra and Kristen dive into the fluidity of releasing attachment and avoiding the trap of fixed ideas.

This is a powerful conversation you'll want to repeat again and again as it gently guides you to look beyond your own assumptions about truth and possibility.

• Questioning what you think you know

In this episode, we meet Ash Ruiz. Ash and Debra met at a memorial for a mutual friend, which Ash shares about in this podcast. An immediate Gemini-to-Gemini connection was sparked, and the rest is history… with the future ever so bright together.

Ash details his life thus far, having performed in his teens for millions of screaming fans across the planet with Latin-sensation band, Menudo, which led him to experiences in Peru that changed everything.

With an intensely vivid clarity spiked by constant spasms of rolling laughter, Ash's workshops, talks, plant medicine ceremonies and music have been featured at The United Nations, on ABC's Good Morning America, and in large spiritual communities and performance venues throughout the World. He has shared the stage with Deepak Chopra, The Oracle of Tibet, Neale Donald Walsch, Byron Katie, Ravi Shankar, Adyashanti, Gangaji, Rev. Michael Beckwith, Don Miguel Ruiz ... and now he is here, delighted to be of service to your ever-opening heart, on your adventurous freefall into vivid clarity.

If you're looking for a shot of energy, take a listen to this electric podcast episode with Jill Bolte Taylor, neuroscientist and author of My Stroke of Insight and Whole Brain Living.

We hope you enjoy this episode and let it energize you- it's better than espresso!

Jill's background in neuroscience was her gateway to spirituality, she reveals, after she had a stroke and spent some time living in her right brain. According to Jill, the "old her" died after the stroke and she was reborn into the person she is now. Thus, Jill has two Astrology charts, her original birth chart, where she has Sun in Taurus, and her rebirth chart which boasts a Sun in Sagittarius! What a difference! Tune in to hear Debra and Jill explore the dynamics of both charts in this episode which is such a unique perspective.

Jill explains her major life moments as "tsunamis" and how these profound experiences allowed her frequency to become "regulated for love." After Jill's first-to-go-viral TED Talk in 2008, she became an international speaking sensation and proceeded to work on her next book about "whole brain living." Whole brain living defines the four parts of our brain that act as the control center, and demonstrates how to balance them for maximum happiness. Character 1 goes to work, Character 2 keeps us safe, Character 3 likes to play and have fun, Character 4 connects us with greater purpose. Keep these characters in mind while you listen to this episode.

Turning on the Observer, as Debra teaches, allows one to be able to pull back and see their four characters; to choose who to be and how to respond. As Jill says throughout the episode, we have the power to choose who and how we want to be in each moment. Astrology and the four elements beautifully mirror the whole brain and the four characters.

This is a story that couldn't possibly fit in the allotted time, but Debra and Jill pack a punch of wisdom into this episode. It's a don't miss for anyone seeking confirmation of their varied, unique selves or those looking for a funny, profoundly inspirational listening experience that has a message of universal love!

"Keeping the world at peace is an inside job."

Believe it or not, our difficult emotional content was part of what we signed up for in this lifetime. Our experience on Earth is compelling and dramatic, yet we all came here voluntarily with the courage to take on the karma of our bodies and our experiences.

Believe it or not, YOU ARE A HEALER.

This meditation is a reminder that we have permission to forgive ourselves and our hard lessons. We have the capacity to heal ourselves. Listen in as Debra walks us down this meditative path leading to the gift of the Observer- neutrality. It's just a thought away.

In this meditation, we visualize our "little self" that is so new to this world. We all share this point of origin and we all share the impacts of trauma. We are called to reach out and say to our little self- "I've got you." No matter how your story has unfolded or what is yet to come, this life was a full-on choice and we are all so lucky to be alive. Astrology helps us remember our life story, serving as a guiding resource to fulfill our soul's promise.

Let this meditation help you lean into the notion of loving your stories, viewing your circumstances from a place of neutrality, and generating compassion for ourselves and the world.

[16:30] "What will you carry with you after this meditation?"

As we experience extremes and polarities in our society and the collective, we find ourselves feeling separate or alone. We are living in a time where information and contact with anyone across the globe is available with just the click of a button on our phones or computers, yet we still have these feelings of disconnection from others and even ourselves.

It's time to move back to the remembrance that you are not alone, because we are all one.

It's time to remember that trauma and drama are not unique to just one of us- it's something we all experience and it's part of our assignment. Do you remember why you came to Earth?

In this excerpt from Debra's 2021 Astrological Awakenings Immersion, Debra aims to remind us all of our purpose. Sink into a meditation with Debra to ground in this message, and then enjoy a vibrant conversation between Debra and fellow Astrologer and Gemini, Colin Bedell.

While Debra and Colin share some potent Astrological configurations pointing to an innate and early knowing of purpose, that is not true for everyone. Debra and Colin break down the importance of self-awareness and how an Astrologer takes on the responsibility of helping others come back to themselves, fall in love with themselves, and understand their purpose.

We close out Season 2 of the I Don't Believe in Astrology Podcast with Carla Johnson. Carla is a brilliant, educated, and dedicated visionary and scientist, wielding a wicked sense of humor. Carla has always had a fascination and deep appreciation for the earth, spending her early years traversing the creeks of Minnesota for agate, crystals, and wildlife. Carla turned her earthy fascinations into the focus of her career as a geologist and entrepreneur, leading tech and environmental projects and businesses including the first virtual mapping of Earth! Did we mention she has her Sun, Moon, and Rising- her Big Three- all in Earth signs? You can't make this stuff up.

As evidenced by her Astrological chart, Carla speaks on the ability to stay grounded and never give up, even in the face of resistance. Debra and Carla put the climate crisis into focus as Carla shares her firsthand experience with a traumatic event caused by climate change. The story shifts when Carla shares about how there are angels on Earth, even in the most difficult moments, and how maintaining that perspective is key to traversing our current crises.

Before delving into this powerful conversation about climate change, be ready for a lot of laughs as Carla and Debra reminisce about how they met and their parallel experiences as "frontier women in business."

This is an episode you won't want to miss as two friends connect with laughter, tears, and thoughtful conversation about how earthly (Geology) and cosmic (Astrology) sciences can help us understand and find peace in the natural rhythms of our own personal stories as well as our page in the story of Earth.
