You’ve heard of your Saturn Return — but what happens when your soul knocks again, not with pressure, but with purpose?
In this episode, we dive deep into the Nodal Return, the cosmic rite of passage that unfolds around ages 36/37/38 — a powerful checkpoint that asks:
Are you truly living in alignment with your soul’s path?
We explore:
What is your Nodal Return and what are the nodes? (beyond the astrology jargon)
Why it often brings changes in career, relationships, and identity
The difference between your first Nodal Return (around 18) and your second (mid thirties)
Why this time is less about achievement and more about meaningful alignment
Real-life themes I see in 1:1 client sessions and Human Design readings
Whether you’re navigating your Nodal Return now, approaching it, or reflecting on it in hindsight — this episode will help you make sense of the deep shifts, honour the changes you’re feeling, and lean into the life your soul came here to live.

Celebrating 111
Hello my love! Welcome to episode 111 of the grow through it podcast. That angel number alone feels like a portal, so it’s only fitting we talk about something equally powerful and often misunderstood: alignment.
It’s become a bit of a buzzword, hasn’t it? “Just align with it.” “That’s not aligned.” But what does it really mean to live in alignment? Not in an Instagram caption kind of way, but in a real, embodied, sometimes messy, deeply honest kind of way?
In this episode, I’m breaking down 11 practical shifts: truths, perspectives and tiny mindset recalibrations — that can help you actually feel what alignment is, not just talk about it.
Let’s demystify the word, anchor it into reality, and maybe, by the end, alignment will feel a little less elusive… and more actionable, achievable, possible.
It’s beautiful timing as I am getting in the creative flow zone channelling for the upcoming Flow Retreat Im running in Vietnam at the end of this month with 7 incredible and beautiful women!
Let’s dive in.
11 Things You Need to Know About Alignment (That No One Talks About)
1. Alignment isn’t a buzzword—it’s a felt experience.
It’s not about having the perfect morning routine, or ticking spiritual practices off a list, collective gold stars from the universe.
