The Terri Cole Show

Do you feel like you're continually struggling in relationships with the same self-absorbed, controlling people? It could be in your romantic relationships, friendships, family, or work relationships.

I started out wary of astrology, but over the past decade, I have become increasingly open to the perspective it can offer on our individual struggles and the shifts we see in society as a whole. My change in perspective is thanks in part to Ophira Edut, a good friend of mine who is one half of the celebrity astrologer duo the AstroTwins. I invited her today to chat a bit about what astrology tells us to expect from 2022, and the entire decade ahead of us. She also shares a special elemental horoscope just for empaths and we discuss how trauma and unfamiliarity can be opportunities for positive change.

Have you ever wondered why you attract the people you do romantically?

Do you find yourself dating a version of the same person over and over again...only to eventually be disappointed and frustrated? Or maybe you are in a relationship and you are craving more- more intimacy, better communication, and a deeper connection?

If you have ever thought amazing, epic love is for other people or the lucky few who happened to be in the right place at the right time, you are not alone. I used to think the same until I started diving deeper into therapy to understand my own attraction style.

In this episode, I'm teaching you how to identify your romantic attraction style, because it is an important aspect of understanding your romantic experiences which sets the stage for you to create and maintain healthy, vibrant love. Self-knowledge is power and I can attest that real love isn't for the "lucky," it is for the self-informed.

How do you feel about New Year's resolutions? Did you know studies show that only 8% of people keep their New Year's resolutions and that nearly 80% fail by February?

Those aren't great odds. Why is it so difficult to follow through with our New Year's resolutions despite our best intentions? From a therapeutic perspective, resolution setting is missing an essential piece; honest self-reflection.

For real, lasting change to stick, we need to look back, assess, and find evidence of what's working and what's not in our lives. It is only from a place of self-awareness and clarity that true transformation can happen.

That's why in today's episode, I'm offering you a therapeutic process to help you unpack 2021, honor your experiences and understand your own growth so you can clear the way for the changes you want to make!

It's my favorite sacred ritual to start the year feeling energized, clear, and ready to take on 2022!
