For this interview, I am talking with Michelle Piller of Mystic Maps, Astrology for a New Earth. I was introduced to Michelle by a mutual friend, Stacia of episode #46.

I started outlining this message thinking that I was going to deep dive into my lessons learned in 2023, but over the last few weeks as I've been processing what those were, I am catching myself in fascination of the many ways that I could spin my own story about how last year went: Was I the overzealous entrepreneur who burned out mid-year? NO. Was I the martyred mother who no longer had time for herself? NO. Was I the victim of critical feedback that knocked me off course? NO. ...yes, I tri...

I was thinking about the first step of coaching, which I like to consider judgement-free observation. I like to have clients take some time to observe how they are living now: * How are you spending your time? * Who are you spending it with? * How are you nourishing your body, mind, soul, + spirit? * How are you feeling throughout the day? * How are you energetically showing up? It’s very easy to say that you are fine, that life is fine, all is good. But until you step back...

These are your immediate non-negotiables. And reversely, can you think of one habit or thought pattern or type of relationship or food or exercise that has to be in your ...

The senses -- touch, sight, smell, taste, + sound -- are the gateway to feeling into your physical + emotional bodies. And feeling into those bodies takes commitment, learning + time. This Western world doesn't teach us to feel into our bodies or feel anything other than fine, good, productive, happy, sad, or anxious; yet feeling abundantly, understanding how you are feeling, how you want to feel, + how to allow feelings to flow through you is the key to living fully alive! So! At this gatewa...
