What if the only thing standing between you and the life you want… is the permission you’ve been waiting for?

In this week’s solo episode of This Juicy Life, Aliyah drops into a real, grounded, and deeply liberating exploration of permission slips — the ones we wait for, the ones we outsource, and the ones we’re finally ready to give ourselves.

This episode unpacks how so many of our desires get blocked not by reality, but by old inherited stories - the “rules” we picked up from family, culture, teachers, heartbreaks, and other people’s fears.

In this episode, Aliyah explores:

• The subtle ways we outsource our knowing - and how to reclaim your inner authority
• Why desire is a compass (not a threat)
• How old stories create invisible fences around joy, creativity, love, rest, and self-expression
• The Byron Katie “Work” questions that soften fear and open possibility
• How to identify the belief underneath your stuck pattern
• What happens in your body when you stop arguing with reality
• Practical tools for clarity - how to listen for what you actually want
  

This episode is an invitation to return to yourself, to trust your inner voice, and to remember that the next chapter of your life doesn’t require perfection - just permission.

See you next week!

What if astrology wasn’t about telling you where you’ll succeed or fail, but about helping you remember who you are?

In this week’s episode of This Juicy Life, we sit down with Jana Roemer—yogi, astrologer, and cosmic truth-teller for a grounded, heart-opening conversation about astrology, marriage, grief, and the very human practice of showing up for it all.

Jana shares how she and her husband built a juicy baseline in their relationship, how Saturn shows up as a teacher in our charts, and why even the hardest seasons can become rich soil for growth.

In this episode, we explore:

• Astrology as a mirror that helps you remember who you are (not something to fear)
• The “Wine & Design” ritual that keeps Jana’s marriage playful and connected
• How proactive therapy and weekly check-ins create safety and laughter in long-term love
• Why monogamy can actually expand freedom when safety is foundational
• Saturn in your chart — the lord of karma, time, and integrity, and how his lessons “pay you” when you face them
• What Jana learned about self-trust, grief, and letting go after losing her mother
• Why dropping your rituals or practices can sometimes be the most spiritual act
• How listening to your cravings (even for cookies!) can restore connection to your body and joy

This episode is a reminder that the crisis, the grief, and even the tough transits can all serve your growth when you meet them with curiosity, compassion, and a little cosmic humor.

After a teeny-tiny seven-month hiatus (because intuitive living doesn’t rush), Lauren and Aliyah are back, refreshed, inspired, and ready to talk about all things trusting your intuition, creative flow, ADHD insights, and living life off autopilot.

In this catch-up episode, they dive into intuitive living, creative entrepreneurship, and joyful rebellion...how to tune back into your inner voice, get unstuck from hustle culture and societal programming, and make life feel juicy again.

We’re talking about:

• Dating in the wild: real-life soulmate tour updates, plus Aliyah’s dating tip from @bennyinc that’s changing everything.

  
  

• Trusting intuition: how to cultivate a practice of listening to your inner guidance (even when it’s scary.)

  
  

• The rebellion: why we’re saying no to autopilot living, hustle culture, and the constant noise...and yes to building a life that actually feels good.

  
  

• Creative community: updates on the communities we’ve built for visual artists and actors, and how connection fuels our creativity.

  
  

• What's trending on the juicy scale: Including Seasonal rhythms: the beauty of rest, reflection, and letting ideas bloom when they’re ready.

  
  

It’s a rambly, real, and (hopefully) refreshingly honest conversation about what it means to live intuitively, rebel creatively, and make life juicier in every season.

We want to hear from you!
-What’s feeling juicy for you right now?
-What “least savory” traits are you learning to love or laugh at?
-How are you making your life more creative and intentional?

Why is slowing down so uncomfortable?

And more importantly—what’s on the other side of that discomfort?

In this episode, we’re sharing about why we're "pressing pause" on releasing new episodes, in order to intentionally make space to make something (and this process) even juicier.

If you’ve ever felt resistance to slowing down, this conversation is for you.

We're talking about:

• Why rest feels so hard—and why it’s necessary for growth
• How to recognize when it’s time to press pause & create space for clarity
• How to uncover what’s really driving our busy-ness
• Tools for shifting your state & bringing more juiciness to your to-do list
• How to rewire our well-worn pathways to stress & replace them with rest and nourishment
• The challenge of keeping creativity alive when your passion becomes your job
• The Productivity of Rest—how slowing down can make us more aligned, creative, and inspired
  

This is an invitation to step back and ask: What’s on my plate? Why is it there? And what can I shift to allow more wisdom, ease, and alignment?
