The north node in Aquarius arrives on July 26, 2026, and the last 18 months of Pisces fog officially end. In this episode, I walk through what the nodes of fate actually are, what the Pisces and Virgo cycle was quietly doing to all of us, and what changes when the north node moves into Aquarius and the south node moves into Leo for the next 20 months.

I get personal with this one. My own natal nodes sit in Virgo and Pisces, so the last cycle ran a nodal reverse straight through my chart. I talk about the spiritual gifts that got shut down when I was a kid, how they came back online during this transit, and what I built while the south node was knocking on my north node. Spoiler: it was the Power Era Collective.

Then we get into the part that stings a little. The south node in Leo is not asking you to dim yourself or stop being visible. It is asking you to release the need for applause as proof that your work matters. With my Jupiter, Mercury, and Black Moon Lilith all in Leo, plus a projector design that genuinely lights up when it is seen, this is going to be humbling work for me too. If you have been pouring your heart into something and hearing crickets, this episode is for you.

The last cycle asked you to let go of who you thought you were. This one asks you to build what is next, and it wants you to build it with other people.

What You'll Learn

• What the nodes of fate actually are, why they are not planets, and why they are always tied to eclipse season
• How to find your own north node and south node on your birth chart, including the headphone symbol trick
• Why the nodes move backward through the zodiac and what that means for the next sign in the sequence
• What the Pisces and Virgo cycle from January 2025 to July 2026 was actually asking of you
• Why hindsight is the most useful lens in astrology and how to use it on your own last 18 months
• The Aquarius themes running the next 20 months: collective over individual, future over familiar, system over personality, group over guru
• What the south node in Leo is releasing, and the common misreading of it that is already all over social media
• Four practical moves to make as the nodes shift, including how to audit the rooms you are standing in

Imposter syndrome is not the thing you need to conquer. It is not the giant standing between you and your power era. In this episode, I am sharing a reframe that came through in a client session this week, and it might change how you think about every quiet, uncertain year you have already lived through.

I am walking through why imposter syndrome is often evidence of a nervous system that has been asked to prove itself for a lifetime, not evidence that you are unqualified. I am tying this into Chiron, the wounded healer placement in your chart, and why this wound shows up so strongly for anyone with Chiron in Taurus or Aries. And I am naming why this hits Gen X women and elder millennials especially hard right now, and what we are uniquely qualified to offer because of it.

If you have ever felt like you are behind the qualified woman you keep comparing yourself to, this episode is your permission slip to see it differently.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

• Why imposter syndrome may actually be the exact preparation you needed, not an obstacle to overcome
• How Chiron in Taurus or Aries shapes a specific wound around worth and permission to take up space
• Why Gen X women and elder millennials are uniquely positioned to teach from lived experience instead of a certification
• A reflection prompt to help you name the competence you have quietly built that you have never called a credential

This past Sunday, I turned 47, and instead of doing the usual birthday retrospective, I wanted to do something different. I'm walking you through the exact framework I use with my coaching clients and inside the Power Era Collective, and I'm doing it on my own chart for the first time on air. I call it chart-led architecture, and it's what happens when you layer your astrology, your Human Design, and your Gene Keys together instead of looking at them as three separate systems. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my own placements, my own wounds, and my own timing, so you can see exactly how this work translates into a real brand, a real business, and a real life.

What You'll Learn

• How your rising sign is the mask the world sees first, and how your midheaven shows you what you are actually here to build
• Why a midheaven in the 11th house points toward community building instead of individual career achievement
• How a Jupiter and Mercury conjunction shapes the way your voice moves and expands other people
• What Black Moon Lilith reveals about the thing you have been shamed for that is actually your gift, especially at the anaretic 29th degree
• How Chiron points to your deepest wound and how that wound becomes the exact thing you are equipped to help others heal
• What your North Node tells you about the work you are still growing into
• Why understanding your energy type, whether Projector, Generator, Manifestor, Manifesting Generator, or Reflector, changes how you should be pacing your work
• What your Human Design profile lines reveal about how far your voice is meant to travel
• Why the Sun conjunct Jupiter transit on July 29 is such a significant moment for visibility and expansion, especially when it lines up with your own natal placements

July is not going to be a gentle month. It is going to be an honest one. And there is a difference.

In this episode, I am walking you through the full astrological landscape of July 2026 before it walks you. This month rolls out in three very distinct acts: an electric and unsettled first week, a transformational portal in the middle two weeks, and a launch pad finale that culminates in the biggest transit for voice, platform, and visibility in all of 2026. July 29th is a date you are going to want in your calendar now.

We cover every key transit, all four moon phases, the week-by-week themes, and how to find exactly where this month is going to land most personally on your chart. The sky this month is asking direct questions about what you are building, what you are ready to release, and whether you are willing to be fully seen. Let us get into it.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

• Why July moves in three acts and what to expect from each one
• How to work with Mercury retrograde in Cancer through July 23rd without letting it stall you
• What Neptune stationing retrograde on July 7th is asking you to release
• The four moon phases of the month: third quarter moon in Aries, new moon in Cancer, first quarter moon in Scorpio, and full moon in Aquarius, and the journal prompts to go with each one
• The week-by-week transit breakdown, including Mars conjunct Uranus in Gemini, the Mercury cazimi on July 12th, the Jupiter cluster on July 20th to 21st, and Saturn stationing retrograde on July 26th
• Why July 29th is the biggest transit for voice, platform, and visibility in all of 2026, and how to prepare for it
• How to read your natal chart to find where Cancer, Leo, Aries, Aquarius, and Gemini fall, so this forecast gets personal for you
• The warning for week one, and why waiting 24 to 48 hours before acting on anything that feels urgent could save you from decisions you will regret

What happens when your soul is screaming at you to leave, but fear keeps you planted? 

Nurse Jen Jordan spent 30 years in modern medicine walking two paths at once: the clinical world she was trained in and the holistic truth she lived at home. She was the "closet crunchy nurse," planting seeds of real health at the bedside while hiding everything she actually believed.

Then her body took over. A rare bacterial infection, a surprise heart arrhythmia, a wildfire, a mandate, and a termination later, she was finally free. And the universe handed her the exact tool she needed: the Time Waver, a German medical device that reads the body's frequencies at the cellular level to identify the root of health imbalances before symptoms ever show up.

In this episode, Jen breaks down how integrative health actually works in practice, not as a buzzword, but as a real, personalized process that meets people where they are. She shares how she uses the Time Waver to scan DNA frequencies, why she pulls more supplements than she adds, and why grounding and breathing are just as critical as any detox protocol.

This one is going to weird you in, in the best possible way.

What You'll Learn:

• Why Jen calls herself the "closet crunchy nurse" and what it cost her to hide her beliefs for 30 years
• How the Time Waver reads the body at the cellular level and what that means for preventative health
• The difference between modern medicine and true wellness and why Jen refuses to pit them against each other
• Why most people are not ready to detox and what needs to happen first
• How photobiomodulation and light therapy are changing what is possible in healing
• Why grounding, sun gazing, and breathing are not soft suggestions; they are medicine

I hope this episode opened up a whole new world of what healing can look like for you. The tools are out there, and so are the practitioners who know how to use them.

Something has been on my heart for a while now, and I wanted to sit down and explain why I made the shift from "Own Your Piece" to "The Power Era." It is not a rebrand for the sake of it. It is a reflection of something I am watching happen in real time, in my own life, in my coaching sessions, and on a collective level with women in their 40s and beyond.

We are not going quietly into the night. We are rewriting what it means to age, and we are doing it with intention.

In this episode, I share the deeper why behind the name change, what I am witnessing in Gen X women right now, and the personal journey that led me to create the Power Era Collective. I also get into one of the most powerful mindset shifts I have been sharing with my coaching clients lately, and yes, it comes courtesy of Vin Diesel.

What You'll Learn

• Why Gen X women are redefining aging and stepping into their most powerful years
• How the shift from perimenopause and menopause is actually a creative reclamation, not a decline
• The Pluto in the 11th house lesson that kept showing up in my life around friendship and community
• What the Power Era Collective is, why I created it, and what it offers at every tier
• How to stop future-tripping and start living your life a quarter mile at a time
• Why Human Design authority is your greatest tool for getting out of your head and back into your body
• The co-creative process with source that happens when you let go of control and stay present

If you have been doing everything "right" and still feel like something is off in your body, this one is for you. I sat down with my dear friend Rachel Ellenani, a holistic health practitioner who works at the intersection of body, mind, and spirit. She uses hair analysis, genetic and epigenetic testing, and neurotrauma therapy to help people get to the actual root of what is going on, not just the surface symptoms.

We went deep on breathwork, including what holotropic breathwork actually is and why it is so different from every other breathwork modality out there. We talked about the trauma piece that most facilitators skip right over, why integration matters more than people realize, and what it truly means to be trauma-informed before you hold space for others.

Rachel is also launching two exciting new offerings: a six to twelve-month deep dive healing program that blends genetic testing with neurotrauma therapy, and an instructional course to help wellness practitioners properly incorporate breathwork and sound into their work. This conversation is one I know so many of you have been waiting for.

What You'll Learn

• What holotropic breathwork actually is and how it differs from other breathwork modalities
• Why the DMT response happens and what it actually feels like in your body
• Why integration and trauma-informed facilitation are the most critical parts of any breathwork experience
• What to look for in a breathwork facilitator and the red flags that signal someone is not ready to hold space
• How neurotrauma therapy works and what a session actually looks like
• The difference between genetic testing and epigenetic hair analysis, and why Rachel uses both
• Why your body does not lie, even when your mind will
• How the passive brain versus active brain distinction in Human Design affects what you absorb from media and your environment
• Why we need both healthy masculine and feminine energy, and what that actually looks like
• Rachel's new six to twelve month healing program and breathwork facilitator course, and how to work with her

• Rachel's new six to twelve month healing program: combines genetic and epigenetic testing with neurotrauma therapy, available in office or remotely (launching next month at time of recording)
• Rachel's breathwork and sound facilitator course: an instructional online course co-created with business partner Kaitlan to teach proper breathwork facilitation with a trauma-informed lens
• Hair analysis and DNA testing: the two primary assessments Rachel uses to see what is happening in the body right now and over time
• PEMF mat: used in Rachel's neurotrauma therapy sessions for therapeutic grounding
• The Body Keeps the Score: referenced in conversation as the foundational concept behind somatic and trauma work
• Human Design passive brain versus active brain: discussed in the context of how sensitive nervous systems absorb information from media and environment

This summer, we are doing something different. We are making it the "Making Me Happy Summer," and I want you to lean all the way in. I know that phrase might feel a little loaded at first. It did for me too. It felt selfish, self-indulgent, even a little wrong. But here is the truth: when you are running on empty, everyone around you feels it. So this episode is your permission slip to stop putting yourself last and start treating yourself with the same love and care you so freely give to everyone else.

We are talking about real self-care, the kind that happens on a soul level. Not spa days (though those are lovely), but the daily practices, the boundaries, the inner work that actually fills you back up. This is the summer to stop surviving and start thriving.

What You Will Learn

• Why "Making Me Happy Summer" is not selfish; it is necessary, and how your astrology and human design placements might be wiring you to deplete yourself
• How to identify what true self-care actually looks like for you based on your moon sign (I link to a past episode in the show notes)
• My personal morning routine as a Scorpio moon, including how I use journaling, meditation, tarot, and even Claude AI for reflection
• The importance of tracking the thoughts and words you use about yourself throughout the day, and what to do when you catch yourself being unkind
• How to build boundaries that protect your energy without building walls that keep people out
• Why generators and manifesting generators especially need to honor their inner no, and what happens when they say yes but mean no
• How the current astrology transits (Mercury in Cancer, Gemini season, and Leo season) support this summer of self-focus and emotional healing
• Why this summer is a genuine turning point as the energies shift from heavy excavation work to something lighter, faster, and more joyful

Resources Mentioned

• Past episode on self-care based on your moon sign 
• The Power Era Collective: Andie's monthly membership with custom astrology journals, journaling prompts, and community for women stepping into their next level

This summer, put your air mask on first. Make yourself happy. Own your piece. The world needs it.

What happens when you have been so busy proving yourself to the world that you completely lose sight of who you actually are? In this conversation, I sit down with Carol Metz Murray, narrative disruptive coach and founder of Naked Leadership, to talk about what it really takes to strip away the masks, the people pleasing, and the years of living on everyone else's terms, and finally step into leading yourself first.
Carol shares the pivotal moment in her early forties when a scary dissociative episode on a mountainous highway became her twenty seconds of insane courage. We go deep on masculine and feminine energy, the sacred necessity of anger, why authenticity is the highest frequency you can vibrate from, and why if you don't lead yourself, someone else absolutely will.

This one is going to hit home.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

• What naked leadership actually means and why it starts on the inside
• Why so much high achieving is, as I like to say, trauma with a good suit
• How living too far in your masculine energy can quietly destroy your health
• Why anger is a side partner of passion, and why suppressing one suppresses the other
• The difference between protecting yourself and confining yourself
• Why authenticity -- not gratitude, not love -- is the highest frequency to vibrate from
• How to recognize when you have been on autopilot and what it feels like to finally take the wheel
• Why you came here with a unique piece of the puzzle, and the world needs you to own it

This week, I am doing something a little different. No guest, no polished concept, just me showing up and being real about what I have been living and moving through. Because I believe we are mirrors of each other. And what is happening in my life right now is a mirror of what I see happening in the women around me, in my clients, and in the conversations showing up in my DMs.

So this week, I am pulling back the curtain.

What You Will Learn:

• Why I created my own workbook after months of making them for everyone else, and what happened when I finally did
• How sitting with gate 39.5, the gate of provocation, helped me understand my gifts in a completely new way
• Why Ignite Your Type was not selling the way I expected, and what that frustration revealed about energetic alignment in business
• How the Power Era Collective was born out of that exact frustration
• What human design, astrology, and gene keys each bring to the work inside the collective
• The generational astrology behind why so many Gen X and elder millennial women are waking up right now
• What the Power Era Collective software (Go High Level) makes possible for women who are ready to build
• What happened inside the Power Era Challenge with 58 women across five days, and why I should not have ended at 7 pm
• The journaling prompt from gate 38, the gate of struggle, that stopped me in my tracks: "I am here to..."

The Breakthrough Sentence:

"I am here to remind women who are done and ready to rise of the magic of who they truly are and help them ground their dreams into reality."

That is my purpose. That is why this space exists.

Who the Power Era Collective Is For:

This is for women who are done playing small. Done living by everyone else's rule book. Done accepting crumbs and calling it a life. Women in the Gen X and elder millennial space who have known in their bones they are meant for more, but the how has always felt elusive.

Inside the collective, we use your human design, astrology, and gene keys to map exactly how you are meant to show up and build. And then we give you the software to make it happen, all inside one program.
