As the wheel of the year turns toward autumn, the body too invites us inward. Today’s Fall Equinox — a moment of balance between day and night — mirrors the balance we’re asked to find within: between body and soul, doing and being, light and shadow.
In this conversation with my Gemini soul twin Andrea Rodgers — a holistic guide, Ayurvedic practitioner, and women’s circle facilitator — we share how the body itself is an oracle, guiding us through thresholds of transformation. From eating disorder recovery and fitness culture unlearning to sacred feminine circles, lineage healing, and seasonal rituals, Andrea’s journey shows that to walk the soul’s path, we must tend the body as our temple.
In This Episode, We Explore:
The body as oracle: how pain, anxiety, and sensation are guidance (not glitches)
From metrics to mystery: Andrea’s shift from calorie counting to holistic, feminine health
Women’s circles as catalysts: why shared sacred space unlocks release and how it sparks remembrance and reclamation of power
Seasonal thresholds: Ayurveda, the Fall Equinox, and tangible practices for grounding during vata season
Pleasure as medicine: reclaiming joy, nervous-system tools, and walking the path of love
Andrea reminds us that just as the trees release their leaves to prepare for new life, we too must let go — through tears, breath, movement, and nourishment — to make space for renewal. Her story is a living reminder that the red thread runs not only through our fate but through our very cells, guiding us back to wholeness when we learn to listen.
May this week’s transmission invite you to trust your signals, follow the signs, and remember: you are never, ever journeying alone.
In devotion,
Alessandra Mary
