What if the approval you keep chasing was never yours to want in the first place? In Episode 1 of The Woo-Woo of Work, Kat Niambi, The Hungry Medium, gets personal about shopping addiction, social media metrics, inherited wounds, and the deeper hunger underneath them all: approval. Kat explores how the need to be liked, praised, or validated can pull us away from authenticity, especially at work. She also explores how approval-seeking can be passed down through family patterns, why your feelings carry important information, and how Chiron can point to the wounds shaping your choices. Before getting into astrology placements, this episode asks the question at the heart of the series: Can you be fully yourself in your work without needing the room to tell you it’s okay?

What if your birth chart could tell you more about your work than your résumé ever could?
The Woo-Woo of Work is where astrology, spirituality, and professional life come…
Hosted by Kat Niambi, also known as The Hungry Medium, this podcast helps busy professionals better understand who they are, how they’re wired, and how to bring more of their authentic selves into the work they do.
Each week, Kat explores the parts of your chart that can reveal more about your purpose, strengths, patterns, relationships, and the way you naturally move through your career... from your Sun sign and Venus to Chiron, the North Node, the 10th house, and beyond.
This isn’t about using astrology to predict your next promotion. It’s about using it as a tool for deeper self-awareness, alignment, and a more authentic relationship with success.
If you’ve ever felt like the professional version of you doesn’t quite match the real you, you’re in the right place.
It’s time to put the woo-woo back in work.
