In this episode, we reflect on how the places we’ve lived have shaped who we are—from the heaviness we felt in our hometowns to the magnetic pull of cities like Florence, Buenos Aires, and Austin. We also share what it’s been like raising our kids in France, including navigating the country’s unique school schedule , and how our move abroad forced us to slow down, heal, and process everything from trauma to identity shifts. Looking back, we can clearly see how certain places broke us open, helped us grow, or brought us back to ourselves.

The heart of this conversation is astrocartography—mapping our birth charts onto the globe to see how different locations activate different parts of us . When we looked at our own maps, we were blown away to find that the cities that changed us most aligned almost exactly with powerful planetary lines. We break down what those lines mean and share how you can explore your own map, whether you’re considering a move or simply curious why some places feel expansive while others feel misaligned. For us, it’s been a powerful reminder that sometimes we travel not just to see the world—but to meet new versions of ourselves.
