Alignment is often glamourised as a constant state of flow, clarity and purpose but the reality is far more nuanced. In this episode, we uncover 11 raw and rarely spoken truths about what alignment really looks and feels like. It's not always peaceful or polished — in fact, sometimes it shows up as discomfort, endings or a deep sense of uncertainty that's guiding you to something more honest. We talk about the quieter forms of alignment, like making decisions that don't make sense to others but feel deeply right to you. You'll hear about the courage it takes to let go of things that are “almost right,” and why aligned living isn't about perfection — it's about integrity, even when it's inconvenient or uncomfortable. This episode is both a reality check and a permission slip to honour your own unique path.Whether you're in the middle of a transition, questioning what's next, or simply craving more depth on your personal growth journey, this conversation offers grounded wisdom and soulful reminders. These 11 insights on alignment will help you trust yourself more deeply, recognise alignment in unexpected forms, and walk your path with more compassion and confidence.Keywords and themes of this podcast episode in summary: alignment, personal growth, spiritual alignment, authenticity, life purpose, intuition, self trust, energetic shifts, inner truth, transitions, integrity, soulful livingThemes:The misunderstood side of alignmentLetting go of what's no longer rightFollowing inner guidance over external validationDiscomfort as a sign of growthRealigning after major life changesHonouring your unique rhythmThe difference between ease and alignmentSynchronicities, signs and angel numbers (111, 1111)Saying yes to what deeply resonatesTrusting the unknownThe courage to live in truth Resources from today's episode Work with PhiLearn more about 1:1 Coaching with Phi here.Apply for 1:1 Coaching with Phi here.Book a Human Design Reading with Phi here.Phi's book; The Great Unlearning: Awakening to Living an Aligned and Authentic Life.Recharge and Renew - Bali Retreat August 2025Message Phi on InstagramEmail Phi 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. Alignment is about truth. It's about how honest you're willing to be with yourself. It asks: Can you be radically honest with yourself? Can you pause long enough to listen—not just to your mind, but to your body, your breath, your subtle yes and your sacred no? Can you soften into your inner knowing before charging ahead with the next task or to-do?Alignment isn't aesthetic. It's a deep, steady resonance that hums when you're connected to your yes—and brave enough to honour your no.
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.

Flow - Vietnam Retreat May 2025 Recharge and Renew - Bali Retreat August 2025 Message Phi on Instagram Email Phi Feeling blegh in your mid 30's...? There's been a sudden wave of clients coming to me over the past two weeks — all with the same quiet question under their stories: “What is going on with my life right now?” And when I look under the surface, the answer is often the same — they're in the thick of their nodal return. It's a cosmic checkpoint, one that doesn't come gently — and it's not supposed to. Because your nodal return isn't about comfort. It's about course correction. It's about remembering what your soul actually signed up for before it came back to Earth. In this episode, we're diving into what a nodal return really is, why it can feel so disorienting, and how to navigate it with grace, truth and a whole lot of courage. What is a nodal return (human design, astrology)? We have to start with what are the nodes in astrology, energy, spirituality and human design. They're not planets themselves, but rather energetic points where the moon's path intersects with the sun's path. These points are closely tied to eclipses and are considered deeply connected to your soul's journey. As I'm recording this, we're in a fresh nodal cycle with the North Node now in Pisces and the South Node in Virgo (2025-2027). For the past two years, we've been living through the Aries-Libra axis (2023-2025). When does your nodal return happen? Your nodal return happens approximately every 18 years when your nodes return to the position (degree, sign and energy) when you were born. This means you have a nodal return when you are around the ages of 18, 36, 54 and 72. Why is your nodal return important? The importance of your nodal return is that it's linked to destiny. What exactly do we mean when we talk about "destiny"? From a spiritual lens, it's believed that your soul chose to come to Earth with a mission — a roadmap, if you will (your human design). This is the essence of destiny: your soul's chosen path of evolution and expression. Nodal return and eclipses = destiny Eclipses, which are powered by the nodes, have always held an air of fate. Astrologers view them as moments to completely release control — a time to hand things over to a greater force; to ...

Flow - Vietnam Retreat May 2025 Recharge and Renew - Bali Retreat August 2025 Message Phi on Instagram Email Phi Taurus New Supermoon to end April 2025 2025 has felt like a big year — for the world, and maybe for you too. There's been a sense of things shifting, old ways breaking down and new beginnings that don't quite have shape yet. You're not imagining it. There's something in the air —an underlying push of change and to grow. At the end of this week we have the supermoon in the sign of Taurus, rising on the 27th and 28th. Today, we're diving into the spiritual meaning of Easter—beyond the chocolate eggs, bunnies and pastel colours and into the deep waters of rebirth and resurrection. What is a Supermoon? It's a supermoon because it's closer to Earth, bigger and brighter in the sky, and energetically it offers a pause — a moment to return to what's simple, steady, and real. Think: grounding, presence, beauty, body. Even in the chaos, this moon is a fresh start. A chance to come home to yourself. A final call out before I dive into this episode the Flow Vietnam Retreat is happening on the 25th of May to the 31st, final spots available. If you're interested, curious or feeling the pull - I invite you to message me and let's chat about the retreat! Pope Francis Taurus Supermoon April 2025 Just as this moon rises, the world feels the tremble of change in more ways than one. The recent passing of Pope Francis marks more than the end of a life — it symbolises a shift in global authority, tradition, and spiritual leadership. Whether you follow the Church or not, his death touches something collective: a changing of the guard. We're seeing it everywhere — in governments, institutions, culture. What used to hold power is dissolving. What once felt untouchable is being questioned. We're entering a new era, and while we may not fully understand what's coming, we can feel that something is being restructured — from the top down and the inside out. Collective energy Taurus Supermoon April 2025 This Taurus Supermoon, then, offers more than personal grounding. It's a collective breath. A reminder that real power doesn't come from control, status, or fear — but from values, integrity, and connection to what's true. As the world reorients, you're invited to do the same. To ask: Where have I given my power away? What do I want to build that lasts? What do I trust when everything else is uncertain? So in this episode, we're diving into the themes of this Taurus New Supermoon, how it ties into the bigger collective shifts we're moving through — and I'll walk you through a practical mindset map to help you realign with what matters most. Taurus New Moon Energy A new moon marks the start of a new lunar cycle. It's a time to plant seeds — not just literally, but energetically. Intentions, choices, new habits, fresh perspectives. This supermoon new moon is in Taurus — an earth sign all abou...
In this episode, we dive into the spiritual meaning of Easter through the powerful themes of resurrection, renewal, and divine timing —unpacking why the age of 33, known as the “Christ Year,” holds deep significance for purpose, transformation and soul awakening. Whether you're approaching this age or reflecting on your own rebirth moment, we explore how this sacred milestone mirrors the journey of death and resurrection in your own life, inviting you into a new era of embodiment, purpose and a higher calling.

It's been a whirlwind few weeks having been in LA, San Fran, San Jose, New York and Sedona. I'm now back in Australia. Such an interesting couple of weeks as I had a few posts go viral whilst being away and so saying hi and welcoming new listeners to the podcast and a warm welcome back for those here again!Today, we're diving into the spiritual meaning of Easter—beyond the chocolate eggs, bunnies and pastel colours and into the deep waters of rebirth and resurrection. Who is Yeshua (Jesus) Let's begin not with "Jesus" as we often hear him—but with Yeshua, as a Jewish man, mystic and teacher. Yeshua is the original Hebrew name for the man commonly known in the Western world as Jesus. He walked this earth not as a figurehead of a religion but as a deeply embodied soul, attuned to the divine. He spoke of the Kingdom of Heaven not as a place far away, but as something within. To say "Yeshua" is to remember his humanity and his roots. It's to see him as a spiritual teacher, perhaps even an ascended master who came to awaken love, compassion and truth in a time of oppression and fear.So in this episode, when I say Yeshua, I'm not speaking of a distant religious icon this is whom I'm referring to.There's a part of this episode that feels deeply personal for me. If you've read my book The Great Unlearning you'll know because I didn't always feel safe with the word Jesus. I grew up in a Catholic environment—where God well not God but religion often felt distant, judgmental, or angry. Where faith was more about fear than freedom. Where you had to confess your sins to be clean. Where divinity lived up there, not in here. For a long time, I associated Jesus with that fear. That shame. That sense of not being good enough. Not being pure enough. But something shifted when I began to explore Yeshua. Not the Jesus of institutions, but the Yeshua of love.It was really initiated 2 years ago when I was in Bali, I had my first personal encounter of Yeshua energy on the night of a full moon. He appeared as a loving protector. Easter as a Spiritual Metaphor for Resurrection Easter marks the story of Yeshua rising from the dead but the deeper, spiritual meaning of resurrection isn't just about one man coming back to life.The spiritual metaphor of resurrection wasn't just a moment in time but as a metaphor for your life.How many times have you died and come back to life?Think of the heartbreaks, the job losses, the versions of yourself that cracked open, shattered— and somehow, still, you rose.Spiritually, resurrection means coming back to life—after something has ended, broken down or fallen away. Spiritual Rebirth When we speak of rebirth, we're really speaking of a return to truth. A shedding of old identities, old stories and illusions that no longer serve us. Yeshua's resurrection wasn't only about life after death; it was also a radical statement about what it means to transcend fear, ego, and the worldly structures and conditioning that bind us.

We dive into the powerful connection between mental health, nutrition and the body, exploring why IBS is often just a symptom rather than a root cause. We also discuss blood sugar balance, practical plate portion hacks and simple yet effective ways to support your overall well being through food. What if food wasn't something to restrict, control or stress over—but a tool for deep nourishment and healing? In this episode, we reframe the way you think about nutrition, shifting from rules and rigidity to seeing food as fuel, support and self-care. To move beyond fear-based eating and into a mindset of empowerment, where every meal is an opportunity to nourish your body and mind. We also explore the connection between what's on your plate and your nervous system. How does food impact your ability to regulate stress, feel calm, and support your mental well-being? From blood sugar balance to the vagus nerve's role in digestion and relaxation, we unpack how what you eat directly influences your body's ability to shift between fight-or-flight and deep rest: really as they say to be in rest and digest. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the idea of eating “perfectly,” this conversation is for you. True health isn't about rigid rules—it's about sustainability, self-compassion, and making choices that feel good long-term. We approach wellness with love rather than pressure, this episode with Meg offers a fresh, uplifting take on nutrition. Tune in and discover how intentional shifts can transform the way you feel.
In this episode, we dive deep into the cosmic shift as Neptune moves into Aries, igniting a collective call to merge intuition with bold action. Neptune: the planet of dreams, illusions and spirituality, enters Aries — a fiery sign of taking action and individuality. We explore the key themes of this transit — trusting intuitive impulses, navigating uncertainty and redefining boundaries where imagination meets initiative. You'll gain insights into how Neptune's influence can blur the lines between vision and reality, and how Aries energy can empower you to move through that fog with decisive clarity. Expect practical tips on grounding yourself when spiritual idealism feels overwhelming, learning to discern between impulsive action and divinely guided steps and staying aligned with your authentic desires without losing yourself in illusion. Whether you're seeking to step into leadership, birth a creative project or simply feel more connected to your path, this episode offers reflections to help you navigate this transformative cycle with courage.

Flow - Vietnam Retreat May 2025 Recharge and Renew - Bali Retreat August 2025 Message Phi on Instagram Email Phi Neptune enters Aries in 2025 (never seen before in this lifetime!) Hello my love, coming to you live as I am currently in America during this eclipse with Neptune in Aries feels almost like stepping into a dream. LA's energy is electric, full of freedom and possibility, and it's been such a blast. But what really gets me is watching my inner child experience it all—seeing life the little things whole new layer of magic to everything. There's this sense of adventure in the air, and I'm soaking it all in, embracing the chaos and beauty of it all. This conversation has been inspired by the receptivity into what's going on collectively at the moment. Neptune, as an influence — is all about dreams, intuition, and the unseen. It's the planet that rules our spiritual connection and the places where we lose ourselves in creativity and imagination. Aries, on the other hand, is bold, fiery, and pioneering—it's all about action, courage, and new beginnings. So when Neptune moves through Aries, it creates a unique meeting between dreamy idealism with a spark of impulsive energy. Neptune in Aries will occur from 2025 to 2039 after which Neptune will enter Taurus from 2038. Do note it will have a retrograde period around July later this year. In this episode, we'll explore what happens when these two forces collide, and how this transit can influence not just your dreams but your approach to taking action on them. It can be jarring after all the contrast of the signs. What is the effect of Neptune? What is Neptune's energy like? When we tune into Neptune's energy in the highest expression, we tap into a deeper part of ourselves—our intuitive wisdom, our psychic abilities and our spiritual essence. Neptune guides us to transcend the material world, offering us a direct link to the vast collective consciousness. As Neptune enhances your sensitivity to the unseen forces, it deepens your understanding of the world beyond the physical realm, opening the door to clearer insights and intuitive understanding. As you walk this spiritual path with Neptune, you may find that your intuition sharpens, but so too can your susceptibility to fantasy or idealism. Neptune teaches you to navigate the space between illusion and clarity, showing you the bigger picture over time. Neptune is most commonly associated with illusion, delusion, and confusion in astrology and energy systems like Human Design. It is linked to the concept of dissolving boundaries and can blur the line between reality and fant...

As you're listening to this it's pre recorded because I am currently in the city of angels Los Angeles. If you've been feeling off, sensitive or in the ringer so to speak it thankfully it ain't just you honey, I feel your pain.I've always been someone who emotionally processes my feelings, especially with my emotional authority in Human Design and my water placements, which guide me to feel deeply and reflect before responding. I'm used to working through my emotions internally, allowing myself time to feel and then release.But this eclipse, the Virgo one last Friday, caught me completely off guard. Instead of my usual emotional release, I found myself physically processing in a way I'd never experienced before. I woke up to rashes erupting all over my body, a full-blown physical manifestation of processing, discomfort, and overwhelm. Physical vs emotional processing eclipse season It felt like my body was communicating in a way I wasn't expecting, forcing me to slow down and pay attention to what I'd been pushing aside. The reality of the time line approaching? The raises starting a week before a long haul flight LA the timing couldn't have been more intense. I've always trusted that the universe has a way of showing us what we need to see, but this felt like a big, physical reminder to listen to my body in a new way. It was almost as though my body was saying, “Hey, it's time to process everything—not just emotionally, but physically too.”This unexpected physical eruption further cemented how deeply our bodies are intertwined with our emotions and how sometimes we can't bypass what needs to be released. I'm understanding myself more that while I've often relied on my emotional authority to guide me, there's also wisdom in tuning into the physical cues my body gives me.I feel like this year I have experienced myself and held space for clients with more skin issues than usual. The skin, IS the body's largest organ, holds deep spiritual significance, acting as a physical boundary between the inner and outer worlds. Spiritual meaning of skin The skin isn't separated, it's one, hence my rashes started flaring on my face and are also on my legs the next day you know?It is not just a protective layer; it is a reflective surface that reveals our emotional and spiritual health. When the skin undergoes a detox process, whether through physical symptoms like rashes or through practices like sweating or exfoliating, it is often a sign that old, stagnant energy is being released. Spiritually, detoxing through the skin signifies shedding emotional baggage, past traumas, or accumulated stress that no longer serves the body or spirit. It's a way of allowing new, fresh energy to enter, just as the body sheds old skin cells to make room for new growth.Spiritually,

She shares how these conditions were not just physical but deeply tied to emotional wounds—especially anger and a lack of security from childhood. We explore how the environment we are born into, along with the role of our parents and even our genetic gut biome, shapes our health from the very beginning.She shares why gut healing is often about simplicity—doing less rather than overloading the body with excessive supplements or diets. We also discuss common digestive issues, like bloating, and how to support the body in a way that actually works, rather than following trends that may not be effective for everyone. With so much conflicting advice on social media, she helps break down myths around self-diagnosing and the overwhelming flood of health trends that often cause more confusion than clarity.Beyond gut health, we explore the unseen toxins that impact our well-being—from environmental chemicals to everyday beauty products. Nelly started her product business as a teenager whilst having her own YouTube channel: a 100% clean, chemical-free approach to beauty and skincare. She explains why what we put on our bodies is just as important as what we put in them, and how detoxing from harmful products can be a key part of overall health.Throughout her years running her own business, Nelly also shares what it's like to build a career in holistic wellness—balancing education, entrepreneurship and personal healing. Whether you're curious about holistic nutrition, gut health, emotional well-being, or how to navigate the wellness world with discernment, this episode is packed with insight. If you're ready to take your healing into your own hands and approach health from a truly holistic perspective, this conversation is one you won't want to miss. Be Well with Nel - Phi Dang - The Roadmap to Living Your Best Life Nelly and Phi talk all things life, spirituality & human design!

In this episode, we step into the energy of the Virgo Full Moon Eclipse, a portal of powerful purification, and quiet revelation. Rather than approaching Virgo through the lens of mere discipline and details, we channel its Buddhic essence—the energy of refined awareness, sacred service, and the devotion to embodying wisdom in the smallest of earthly acts. This eclipse asks: How does mindfulness translate into tangible reality? Where does sacred order arise within the seeming chaos of life? How do we surrender not to perfection, but to the flow of intelligent design already at play? Through Phi's channeled perspective, we explore Virgo as a vessel for enlightened action, where spirituality isn't separate from daily life but infused into love and choices. Expect insights on: The Buddhic mind – cultivating a spacious awareness amidst the shifting tides of this eclipse. Releasing over-identification – detaching from the illusion of control while still honouring deep devotion to your path.

If the cosmic games haven't already started for you with Venus Retrograde and all things love, money and relationships at the end of this week on the 14th we have the Virgo full moon which happens to also be a lunar eclipse too. If you're keep tracking since my energy update for March 2025 you'll know this is the week before the official new astrological year in Aries kicking off on the 20th. It's very much the energy of letting go to do with Virgo, the collective karma at the moment. Virgo is associated with perfectionism, structure, routine, service, and discernment, this eclipse highlights areas where you may need to let go of rigid control, over-analysis or self-criticism. Virgo Full Moon Eclipse - Channelled Intuitive Message It makes a lot of sense when I channeled the upcoming energy I saw the taming of the mind - as if you were training your dog or puppy you know? Off the back of it what comes through is energy of a buddhic nature. One of my good friends recently got a puppy so I don't know if that's why it's connected but I'm going to roll with it. Taming the mind is much like training a puppy. At first, it wanders freely, chasing every impulse, barking at shadows and reacting instinctively to every noise. It pulls you in different directions, darting between excitement, fear, distraction and restlessness. But just as a dog learns discipline through patience and consistency, so too can the mind be gently guided toward stillness and focus. Imagine your thoughts as an unruly puppy—full of energy, curious, and easily led astray. You wouldn't scold it harshly for its nature, but instead, you would redirect it with kindness and clarity. When it gets distracted, you bring it back. When it tugs toward anxiety, you soothe it. Over time, with repetition, it learns to stay present, to trust in the steady rhythm of your breath, and to sit in quiet without needing constant movement. Like a well-trained pet, a tamed mind becomes an ally rather than an obstacle. It no longer jumps at every passing thought or reacts to every external trigger. Instead, it learns to wait, observe, and act only when truly necessary. This is not about suppression or control, but about cultivating a relationship built on trust. The mind, when guided with patience and care, can become a source of peace rather than chaos—loyal, steady, and always by your side. Buddhist Perspective Taming the Mind - Monkey Mi...

This week, the energy is deep, transformative, and undeniably potent in February 2025. With Maha Shivaratri, the Pisces New Moon and intuitively the archetype of The Tower from the Tarot; woven together, we're stepping into a space of dissolution, surrender, and necessary rebirth. In this episode, we explore how Shivaratri, the great night of Shiva, invites destruction of illusion and devotion to truth. The Pisces New Moon amplifies this by dissolving what no longer serves, asking you to trust the unseen currents of your soul. And The Tower? It arrives as the catalyst—shaking the foundations you thought were stable, clearing the way for something truer. Expect reflections and a practical guide on letting go, trusting collapse, and allowing the unknown to guide you forward. Because sometimes, the breakdown is the breakthrough.

First of all it's Shivaratri, Shivratri is a Hindu festival honouring Shiva, an Indian deity, celebrated with fasting, prayers, and night-long vigils to seek his blessings for transformation, inner peace, and spiritual growth and we have the Pisces New Moon. So what does this actually mean for you? I'm going to translate this energy for you as a practical guide to the week. What is Shivaratri and what's it got to do with The Tower in Tarot? For those listening to where I'm based in Sydney, Australia, Shivaratri takes place Wednesday February 26th 2025 4:38pm to Thursday 27th February 2025 2:24pm. Shivaratri means Great Night of Shiva. Shiva is the Hindu God that represents destruction which says a lot about the energy that is taking place this week. This time last year I was blessed enough to be in India during Shivaratri and it truly activated a of necessary destruction in my life including within my previous relationship and living situation - the cracks, what was not working really started to show leading to the ultimate demise 6 months later. Cyclical truly! Now this is not something to be scared of but aware think of it like when you see the tower card pop out when doing tarot (more on that later). I know you know, who hasn't seen that card and put it back in to reshuffle or have fear and wish you didn't pull cards haha I certainly have an am really practicing this year not to jump to conclusions with the cards I see coming out. Who is Lord Shiva? Shiva the deity In India at one point there was a celebration or significant spiritual moment everyday because I guess they wanted to celebrate every day of life and the different purposes of life which is a fun fact. Nowadays truly it Shivaratri is one of the most significant events in India's spiritual calendar. In Hindu tradition, Lord Shiva represents destruction and renewal—the force that clears away the old to make way for the new. He is often depicted as sitting in deep meditation, symbolising inner peace and awareness. Shiva's Origin Story Shiva's origin story is vast, layered, and deeply symbolic, woven into Hindu mythology as a representation of transformation, destruction, and divine stillness. He is known as the supreme yogi, the lord of time, and the force that dissolves what is no longer needed so that new creation can emerge. Unlike other deities, who are often depicted in palaces or adorned with riches, Shiva is an ascetic who meditates in the mountains, covered in ashes, with matted hair and a third eye that sees beyond illusion.

Flow - Vietnam Retreat May 2025 Recharge and Renew - Bali Retreat August 2025 Message Phi on Instagram Email Phi Celebrating 100 episodes of the Grow Through It Podcast with Phi Dang Hi my love can you believe it this is the 100th episode of Grow Through It. I believe we've made it to triple digits. When I started this podcast, I had no idea how much it would grow, evolve, and connect me with so many of you. I still remember sitting in my cupboard recording my first episode when being a coach full time was a hope and dream - now it's my reality. The name Grow Through It is a reminder that challenges aren't just something to survive—they're something to transform through. Life will bring uncertainty, heartbreak, resistance, and moments where you question everything, but you don't have to just go through it, numb or disconnected. You can grow through it—becoming wiser, stronger and more aligned and in tune with yourself. Growth isn't about bypassing the hard stuff; it's about leaning in, finding meaning, and letting every experience shape you in a way that deepens your self-trust. This podcast exists to hold space for that kind of expansion—the kind that doesn't just move you forward but moves you deeper into who you're meant to be. Whether you've been here since Episode 1 or you just found this space, thank you. Truly. Your presence, your messages, and the way you show up for your own growth mean everything. Get a free mini reading from Phi As a way to give back, I have a little gift for you! If you leave a review—ideally on Spotify—otherwise Apple Podcasts, please screenshot it, and send it to me via Instagram DMs or email, I'll send you a mini intuitive reading as a thank you. It'll be a 5-minute intuitive voice note, either based on a question you send or whatever comes through for you. This is my way of celebrating 100 episodes of growth with you. So if this podcast has supported you in any way, I'd love to hear your thoughts—and send something special your way in return. Now, let's get into today's episode… 100 unlearnings on personal growth jokes that is a lot and genuinely in life there would be way more but I handpicked 10 from my experience working with clients that I'd love to share with you to celebrate the Grow Through It Podcast.

Flow - Vietnam Retreat May 2025 Recharge and Renew - Bali Retreat August 2025 Message Phi on Instagram Email Phi The cynicism of men Hey, beautiful souls, and welcome back to the Grow Through It Podcast with Phi Dang (that's me). With Valentine's Day around the corner, I know this time of year can bring up all kinds of emotions—love, longing, frustration, and maybe even cynicism. You might be thinking, ‘Where are all the good men?' or ‘Why does everyone else seem to find love but me?' Or maybe you're in a relationship and you're unhappy or even if you are, aside from your partner or a few friends perhaps you've lost your faith in men. If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you. My own personal example of good men This episode came to me like a lightning bolt and the urge to do it perhaps because I am on my own journey. I came out of a relationship last year and it was challenging to be honest with you and it tested my good faith in men through my own projections. Recently I had an incident with my car at the beginning of the year going 100km an hour towards the beach down south here luckily on a country road because I must have run over something and it shredded my tire. I mean shredded. Only the central metal bit left. I panicked because I have no idea how to fix a tire, I was in the middle of no where, what was I to do? I kid you 5 minutes later, a man pulled over to help me. He was in his SUV with like 4 children and without any hesitation helped me. I was so grateful and he said to me, I wanted to show my children this is what good men do, good humans really. I want to especially show my boys what it is to be a good man and I did the very thing I would do for my daughters and want other men should they be in your situation. Honestly it moved me to tears. With my spare tyre in fact I got to the petrol station to sort it out because the rear end of my car came off and unexpectedly two men which I would stereotypically class as “bikies” helped me they were again so sweet and gave me a specific tape for cars in case something else happened when they left. From that moment I've had really lovely interactions with men, I mean to the point of a nice man randomly buying me a coffee and pastry the day I had to take me car in for a service all stressed. Why women don't believe in good men: disappointment and hurt Many women feel disillusioned about love, especially if they've been hurt or let down before. Maybe you've given your heart to someone who didn't handle it with care. Maybe you've been strung along, ghosted, or left wondering why you weren't "enough" for someone to stay. Or maybe you've witnessed relationships around you that only rein forced the idea that love is hard, unreliable, or even painful. Over time, these experiences can build up, creating an invisible wall between you and the kind of love you truly desire. Social media, men suck and no good men are out there And then there's social media—a place where heartache is turned into entertainment. Everywhere you look, there are jokes about how "men ain't sh*t," how modern dating is a dumpster fire,
In this episode, Georgia Forbes, Holistic Counsellor and Coach, Co Founder of the Insight Collective & Co, joins me as we dive into the often unspoken of and unseen threads that shape life's journey—past lives, money mindset, mystical connections, and the deep wisdom of your intuition. What if unconditional love wasn't something to seek but something to remember? This was something uncovered on the Recharge and Renew Retreat in Bali last year. Together, we explore the ways softening allows you to receive more—more unconditional divine love, more abundance, more trust in yourself. We also unpack the layers of money mindset, shifting from scarcity and struggle to a sense of effortless flow. Through play, connection, and synchronicity, you'll see how the universe is always speaking to you, inviting you to step into a more aligned and abundant life. Alongside this, we explore the sisterhood wound—the deep-seated fear of being seen, of truly trusting and being held by other women. We unravel the patterns of being the caretaker, always carrying the weight for others, and how this ties into the balance between masculine and feminine energy. Furthermore we discuss how embracing and leaning into play is so important and fun but not only that: it's a portal to your inner child, the part of you that knows how to trust, imagine, and receive without resistance. When you reconnect with this innocence, healing happens, opening you to deeper joy, creativity, and a more expansive way of being. Join us as we reflect on the magic of the Recharge and Renew Bali retreat—where your intuition sharpens, old patterns dissolve, and a greater sense of confidence emerges. This is your invitation to reconnect with the wisdom already within you and embrace the path unfolding before you. Join the Recharge and Renew Bali Retreat August 2025 here.

Well Year of the Snake and Aquarius New Moon 2025 Happy new year my love! Most years I find January is slow, chilled maybe even dragged out but 2025? Oh no honey. This year has personally and professionally just been flat out that before I knew it last week was the human design new year and now today is the Lunar New Year. If you're an astrological girly you may find the 29th of March later this year new year because it's the first new moon of the astrological calendar. Either way can you feel it in the energy that 2025 is going to be big!? It's the cosmic invitation of 2025: Year of the Snake, Aquarius New Moon, and Renewal Led by the Energy of The Moon (feminine in nature, emotional, fluctuating). Because I love you guys I'm going to give two sets of journaling prompts - journaling questions for the Aquarius New Moon and Year of the Snake. Welcome to this special episode where I'm going to dive deep into the transformative energies surrounding the Lunar New Year, the Aquarius New Moon, and the year of the Snake in 2025. First of all I want you to take a moment to anchor and let it sink in the shifting tides of the collective, tune into your own inner compass, and step boldly into a year of innovation, evolution, and authenticity. Current Energy 29th January Astrology Planets Let's start with the Aquarius New Moon which aligns with the transformative rebirth driven aligned Pluto and fuelled by the expansive, curious energy of Jupiter in Gemini. This moon whispers: What are you ready to let go of? What do you need to birth into reality? In the backdrop, January has already brought dynamic shifts. Jupiter and Uranus turning direct have cleared the path for forward momentum, while the North Node in Pisces and South Node in Virgo guide us away from rigid perfectionism and into the flow of intuitive compassion. Uranus in Taurus continues to shake up the foundations of what we value—be it our relationships, careers, or the planet itself—asking us to redefine what truly matters. Pluto, as always, demands deep transformation. It doesn't let us hide in comfort zones or cling to outdated beliefs. Instead, it calls us to confront and dismantle what no longer serves, paving the way for a future built on liberation, truth, and aligned purpose. Let's start off the Aquarius new moon. Characteristics of Aquarius Aquarius is the dreamer and the innovator, urging you to step outside the box.

In this episode I have Zoe Teh, a collaboration designer and organisational psychologist. We podcast live on the final day of her private 1:1 retreat with me, reflecting on her transformative journey so far, starting with her decision to celebrate turning 30 by investing in herself and attending the Recharge and Renew August Bali Retreat. Zoe shares how stepping into and deciding to attend the retreat was both an act of self care, celebration and empowerment, opening the door to mindset shifts and coming home to a sisterhood of like minded women. We talk money mindset and abundance, uncovering blocks she hadn't fully acknowledged, stepping into a new relationship with wealth and her capacity to manifest. Exploring her Human Design, using her sacral authority, and navigating her soul purpose revolving around laws... rules. As a woman of colour, she speaks passionately about the importance of representation and creating inclusive spaces where diverse voices are heard. Post-retreat, she's taking bold steps, from manifesting love and freezing her eggs to securing her future, to taking radical ownership of her life and letting go of distractions that no longer serve her to starting a new venture. The recharge and renew Bali retreat has been a catalyst for her to redefine success and truly align her purpose with her path. Spaces open soon for the retreat on the 31st of January.

Astrology, spiritual growth, karma and destiny Hello beautiful soul, wow of all dates 11/1 or 1/11 depending where you live what is unfolding is huge collective change karmically and in terms of our destiny. An 18.5 month chapter complete in Aries and Libra it is now Pisces and Virgo. This is all to do with what we call destiny markers what I say to simplify or the technical astrological terminology of the North and South Nodes, also known as the lunar nodes, are points where the Moon's orbit intersects the Earth's orbit around the Sun.They represent the soul's journey, with the South Node indicating past-life tendencies, comfort zones, and habits you're meant to outgrow, while the North Node points to your soul's purpose, growth, and the qualities you're meant to develop in this lifetime. These points are not physical celestial bodies but carry deep spiritual significance, offering insight into karmic lessons and your ultimate path of evolution. We have collective ones as well as individual ones. How to work out personal affect of North Node in Pisces South Node in Virgo To find out your own individual energy, look into your astrological natal chart for placements in Pisces and Virgo for this new chapter and previously reflect upon the 18.5 month chapter that is closing on Aries and Libra. Personally I am so excited as someone with a Pisces moon. Pisces is known for feeling deeply so to have that on a collective level and leaning more into intuition, the spiritual, the woo thats chefs kiss for me. Aries North Node Libra South Node 2023-2025 For the past 18.5 months, the Aries North Node has encouraged individuals and the collective to step into their independence, courage, and self-leadership. This energy has been about embracing bold action, taking risks, and prioritising personal desires and passions. It's been a time of self-discovery, pushing past fears of conflict or rejection, and learning to assert oneself unapologetically. Aries has asked us to break free from codependency, release hesitation, and trust in our ability to carve our own paths, even when the way forward is uncertain. Themes of empowerment, resilience, and standing firmly in your truth have been at the forefront.Meanwhile, the Libra South Node has highlighted the need to release unhealthy people-pleasing, reliance on others for validation, and an overemphasis on harmony at the expense of authenticity. This period has invited reflection on relationships, balance, and fairness, urging a shift from external approval to internal alignment. It's been about unraveling patterns of avoiding conflict, over compromising, or losing individuality in partnerships. Collectively, this transit has sparked conversations around justice, fairness, and equality while also showing where outdated relationship dynamics, social structures,

Flow - Vietnam Retreat May 2025 Message Phi on Instagram Email Phi What to unlearn in 2025 for your growth Hello my love and welcome to 2025. We are going to kick this year off with Unlearning. As you know I'm super passionate about all things unlearning because I even wrote a book about it - The Great Unlearning. I know from working with clients and chatting to some of you that in 2024 it really tested your strength, there was unraveling old identities and forcing truths to the surface. It was a year of upheaval, heartbreak, and unexpected revelations—each challenge quietly preparing the soil for something new. As 2025 dawns, unlearning becomes the sacred act of honouring those difficulties while shedding what no longer serves. It's the gentle release of outdated beliefs, habits, and fears born from survival, making space for a life rooted in thriving. This year is a blank canvas, inviting you to paint it with your most authentic colors, free from the weight of expectations you've outgrown. Unlearning in 2025 is about trusting the wisdom gained through hardship and leaning into the power of starting again. It's a collective permission slip to question the rules that shaped you and rewrite the narrative to reflect who you're becoming. As you unlearn, you're not just letting go; you're stepping forward—into a softer strength, a deeper clarity, and a life led by your own heart. This is the year you stop apologising for taking up space and begin celebrating it instead. This episode is going to set up the vibe, tone and energy for 2025. In 2025 we are unlearning... that if we don't get what we want immediately, it doesn't mean something is wrong with us. Hello my love and welcome to 2025.

As we step into this fresh chapter, I'm excited to talk about something that's been on my heart—flow. Specifically, how you can embrace the power of feminine energy to make this year feel more aligned, effortless, and abundant. In this episode, we'll dive into what it really means to embody flow, how to notice when you're resisting it, and some practical ways to invite it in—whether in your career, business, relationships, or personal growth. As we begin 2025, I want you to feel empowered to move with the current of life, rather than against it. Let's dive deep into a year of trusting your natural rhythm and embracing the flow of feminine energy together. If you're vibing this episode and feeling the call I'll also be talking to you about the Flow Retreat I am running in a few months in May in Vietnam. I can't wait I am so excited. Feminine energy is going to be a part of all the retreats I run this year! Flow is very much luxury self care feminine energy vibes. Let's start by breaking down what feminine energy really means. It's not about gender or fitting into societal boxes. Feminine energy is about intuition, receptivity, creativity, and connection. It's the part of you that thrives in stillness, listens to your inner wisdom, and embraces life with an open heart. But here's the catch: many of us have been conditioned to favour masculine energy—doing, achieving, and pushing forward. While those qualities are important, constantly operating in that mode can leave you feeling drained and disconnected. Does this sound familiar? Maybe you feel like you're constantly on a treadmill, chasing goals but feeling unfulfilled. Or perhaps you long for more ease and joy but don't know how to get there. That's where feminine energy and flow come in. What is flow in terms of feminine energy? Flow is about aligning with the natural rhythms of your body, mind, and spirit. Think of it like swimming with the current rather than against it. When you're in flow, you're not forcing things to happen; you're allowing life to unfold with grace. Here's a simple example: Have you ever had a day where everything just clicked? You felt confident, connected, and inspired. That's flow. It's not something you have to earn; it's your natural state when you're aligned with your feminine energy. Diving into the concept of flow as it relates to feminine energy—a state that's as powerful as it is misunderstood. At its core, feminine flow is about moving with life rather than against it, tapping into your natural rhythms, intuition, and creativity Think of it as the "how" of embracing ease and receptivity—letting inspiration,

You don't need permission from the calendar Hello, hello—surprise! I'm back, and I couldn't wait even one more day. I missed this space, missed you, and I'm so excited to dive back in. At first, I thought I'd wait until 2025 to return—new year, fresh start, all that. But then I realized: you don't need permission from a calendar to do what's calling you. When something feels right, the best time to start is now.So here I am, stepping back into this space with gratitude and energy, ready to pick up right where we left off. Let this be your reminder, too—you don't have to wait for the “right” time or for things to align perfectly. Trust your timing. Begin when your soul says yes, and the rest will follow.As I went to record this I realised I can't plug my professional mic into my laptop because I got a new MacBook and there's no more USB ports so here I am on the fly recording off my iPhone. Channeled message to end 2024 A strong channeled message came through for our beautiful collective community here on The Grow Through It Podcast, a theme emerged which funnily enough all of my clients spoke to as well in one form or another this morning.That message is: Meet yourself where you are. Meet others where they are.Meet yourself where you are, not where you think you should be. The universe doesn't measure you by the milestones you haven't reached or the potential you haven't fulfilled—it meets you in the here and now, with infinite love and compassion.Your journey is not a race, and there is no prize for rushing past the lessons you're meant to embody. Honour the version of you that exists today, even if they feel incomplete, confused, or messy. You are not behind. You are exactly where you need to be, and the simple act of meeting yourself with kindness unlocks doors to growth that force and self-criticism never will.Extend that same grace to others. Meet them where they are, without expectation or need for them to move at your pace. Growth is sacred, but it is also deeply personal. When you release the urge to change someone or pull them along with you, you create the spaciousness for genuine connection.Your evolution, when rooted in love, can inspire others, but it should never be a demand for their transformation. Let your growth be a byproduct of your self-love, not a tool for controlling others. Love doesn't say, “You must grow for me.” It says, “I see you where you are, and I trust your path.”True change, whether in yourself or others, must come from within. Anything else is fleeting and fragile. When you grow, let it be because your soul craves expansion,
In this episode, Phi explores the powerful astrological energy surrounding the lunar and solar eclipses of September and October 2024. These energetic events bring profound opportunities for release, transformation, and new beginnings.The lunar eclipse encourages us to reflect on what is no longer serving us, offering a potent time for letting go of emotional baggage, outdated beliefs, and patterns. Meanwhile, the solar eclipse signals fresh possibilities, inviting us to set new intentions and embrace the unknown with courage. Tune in as Phi breaks down how these eclipses influence both the collective and personal level, and how you can harness this energy to realign with your purpose and create space for growth.

Hello my loves, Since I was last on here I ran my first retreat Recharge and Renew in Bali and oh my gosh it really was one of the best weeks of my life. I can't wait to do it again next year there are already 3 confirmed retreats that haven't officially been launched yet but I hoping it will next month in October my birthday month woohoo. I felt really called to speak to you today about the energies at present collectively cause boy it's a lot and if you're not feeling it, I am genuinely so happy for you, if you're like me and many clients and people I've spoken to online on Instagram huge rapid changes are on the horizon. We are in a gateway, a bridge, an eclipse sandwich in between two eclipses. What's really interesting about this current one is from the lunar eclipse in pisces, the next is a solar eclipse coincides with a new moon on the 2nd of October in Libra. What do the eclipses mean? Eclipses are not just astronomical events; they're cosmic catalysts that can shift our lives significantly. Each eclipse occurs in pairs. The one that recently happened in September, a lunar eclipse illuminated our inner worlds, revealing what needs to be let go of, while the upcoming October solar eclipse represents new beginnings and fresh starts. Together, they form a dynamic interplay that encourages us to embrace transformation and change. September 2024 Lunar Eclipse The recent lunar eclipse in September invited us to look inward. What fears or limiting beliefs have been holding us back? What relationships no longer serve us? This eclipse shines a light on the shadows, urging us to acknowledge and release what we've outgrown. It's a moment to honor our past experiences, but also to recognise the need for change. Eclipses and Destiny Now with all of this said , it's important to also take note of the background to all of this. The shift in destiny nodes too energetically. Currently, the focus has shifted from the Aries/Libra chapter for the last year and half to now starting to introduce Pisces and Virgo energy inviting us to explore new themes in our lives. Essentially the recent lunar eclipse was a peak of a new chapter coming in over 2025 - 2027 in the energies of Pisces and Virgo so we're not quite there yet given Aries and Libra with the upcoming solar eclipse in Libra. Pisces Eclipse Energy 2024 Pisces emphasises spirituality, feeling, compassion, and creativity, encouraging us to embrace vulnerability and connect with a higher purpose. In contrast, Virgo is about practicality, letting go of over-analysis, and perfectionism. Libra Eclipse Energy 2024 Libra's large influence continues still particularly in regards to our relationships. Libra encouraging us to evaluate existing partnerships and focus on balance and harmony where possible and healthy. This influence complements Pisces by highlighting the importance of empathy and emotional intelligence in our connections with others...

Lion's Gate Information August 2024 Beautiful Soul, as this episode is released I am currently running a retreat in Bali which centres all around the Lion's Gate episode and so I wanted to share some of the magic with you in an episode about the Lion's Gate which is 8/8. In the ancient tapestry of human history, the stars have always guided us, providing insights in to the secrets of the universe and providing light on our paths. The Sirius star system holds a place of profound significance, particularly in the context of the Lion's Gate Portal. For the ancient Egyptians, Sirius was not merely a distant star but a cosmic beacon of rebirth and transformation. Known as “Sopdet” in their language, Sirius heralded the start of the annual flooding of the Nile, a life-giving event that transformed the arid land into a fertile oasis. This celestial event was more than an astronomical occurrence; it was a sacred promise of renewal and abundance, deeply intertwined with the cycles of life and the spiritual rhythms of the cosmos. As the Lion's Gate Portal opens, it does so with the energy of Sirius at its core. This cosmic gateway, which peaks every year around August 8th, is a powerful alignment of our Sun with Sirius and the Earth's position in the sky. It symbolises a period of extraordinary potential, a time when the energies of Sirius blend with the dynamic force of the Leo constellation, creating a potent moment for manifestation and transformation. Sirius, the brightest star in our night sky, has long been associated with the divine, the mysterious, and the transformative. Its light, arriving from over 8 light-years away, illuminates not just our physical world but also our inner landscapes, offering a glimpse into the deeper realms of our consciousness. When aligned with the Lion's Gate, this star amplifies the energies of courage, creativity, and leadership, urging us to embrace our highest potential. The numerology of the date 8/8 also plays a role in the abundance and prosperous energy that comes with the Lion's Gate. The number 8 symbolises infinity, balance, and material success, reinforcing themes of wealth and achievement. Many believe that the Lion's Gate acts as a cosmic portal, elevating our vibrational frequency and making it easier to attract and receive abundance. Let this be a time to reconnect with the ancient wisdom of the stars, to honor the cosmic cycles that guide us, and to embrace the radiant energy that flows through the Lion's Gate. As you stand before this energetic gateway, know that the universe is aligning in your favour and the time has come to step boldly into the fullness of your potential. How to tap into Lion's Gate August 2024 Imagine a celestial gateway opening wide, its frame adorned with the shimmering light of a thousand stars. This is the Lion's Gate Portal, where the universe aligns in a cosmic symphony to amplify your dreams and desires. As the sun's golden rays meld with the radiant energy of Sirius, the Lion's Gate ushers in a wave of potent, transformative power. It's a time when the fierce, regal energy of the lion merges with the vast expansiveness of the cosmos,
In this episode we explore the transformative energy of the Leo New Moon of August 2024, delving into how this potent lunar phase can inspire creativity and self-expression.

Life and Business Update August 2024 Hello Beautiful Soul, Welcome to August 2024 and we are officially in Leo season with the upcoming new moon on the 4th.

This is the most potent and magical time for manifestations as it tees up nicely with the Lion's Gate portal of 8/8. The background to all this as we have been witnessing collectively is funky, big mysterious changes are ahead for all but we can't say for sure what look at what's unfolding in the US elections and the perception of the Paris Olympic Games Opening Ceremony. I'm being told to focus on the inner light and not being drawn to the funk that is there. To channel big LEO energy. Leo New Moon Energy and Vibe August 2024 Imagine a stage bathed in golden light, where the spotlight finds its true home on a single, radiant figure. The main character. This is the essence of Leo—You are both the star and the stage, your heart the music.Leo is the heroine of her own grand narrative, embodying a fierce bravery that defies the ordinary. She strides onto the scene with a boldness that electrifies the air, her every movement a testament to the courage it takes to follow one's heart. Her path is illuminated by an inner light that refuses to be dimmed, a beacon guiding her through shadows and challenges alike.In the grand theatre of life, Leo doesn't just seek the spotlight—she commands it. She leads with a charisma that captivates and inspires, drawing others to her side with the magnetic pull of her authentic self. Her leadership isn't about dominance, but about setting the stage for others to discover their own brilliance, too.Leo's energy is a celebration of self-expression in its purest form. Imagine a canvas where every stroke is a vivid declaration of who you are, a palette bursting with colors that have been waiting for this moment to be expressed. In the Leo light, there is no room for self-doubt; only the exuberant joy of being unapologetically you. It's an invitation to sing your own song, dance your own dance, and paint your own masterpiece.At the heart of Leo's essence lies a deep connection to the inner child—the part of you that dreams without limits and loves without fear. Leo beckons you to reconnect with that pure, playful spirit, to embrace the wonder and curiosity that once defined your world. It's about rediscovering the magic that lives in the simplest moments and allowing it to fuel your creative endeavours and personal growth.To be touched by Leo's energy is to feel the pulse of possibility, the call to rise above mediocrity and embrace the fullness of one's own potential. It's a call to harness the raw,
Insight into the energy and vibe of the Capricorn Full Moon taking place July 21st 2024. This episode also provides journaling prompts and questions for the Capricorn Full Moon with the themes being that of family, career, letting go, endings and beginnings as well as balance.

Phi's book; The Great Unlearning: Awakening to Living an Aligned and Authentic Life. June and July 2024 Capricorn Full Moon This full moon is the second in that of Capricorn with the first one taking place 4 weeks prior on the 21st of June. Think of the previous full moon laying down foundational pieces of insights and information with this full moon to conclude it. You might find you're having a do over, second review, a second chance as to whatever was taking place around the 21st of June. Was there something weighing you down? Something that didn't fully finish? Something you needed to take responsibility for? A boundary to put in place? Cancer and Leo Cusp = Family It's on the cusp of Cancer transitioning into Leo season. When these two come together it's the thematic energy of family. Cancer is the mother of all the signs ruled by the moon, the feminine. The opposing partner sign of Cancer is Capricorn seen as the father of all signs, ruled by Saturn, which we know is all about structure, discipline and hard work. Saturn Retrograde Capricorn Full Moon Saturn is of course retrograde right now and has been since the end of June and will be until mid November this year. Paired with the full moon it's a beautiful time to revisit, review and reassess any areas where Saturn is within your astrology and human design chart as well as general Saturninan themes such as discipline, structure, boundaries, personal responsibility and long term goals. The goal of Saturn is to establish strong foundations so keep that in mind too. Degree of Fate endings karma To also note energetically the degree in which the full moon in Capricorn is taking place is in the 29th which is the last degree of any sign known as the “degree of fate” so it marks a time where what has been brought up often signifies an ending, a breaking point, a breakthrough. The full moon in Capricorn has reached her peak, full self. It's that moment after running a tiring marathon that it's been a journey but at last here it is in sight the end: you can almost taste it and touch it. In fact this particular full moon in Capricorn has the nickname of the “buck moon” as during this time of the year because buck, deers, have fully developed their antlers, and it is time to shed them to start again and grow new ones. Again given Saturn Retrograde it may be the time for unfinished business or karma to resolve itself for you to address, grow and evolve. New beginnings Capricorn Full Moon 2024 This leads to well 0 degrees which is the starting point of any sign and in terms of the cosmos, the planet Pluto is in that for the sign of Aquarius which means collectively we can expect the unexpected of new beginnings. Earth Grounding Capricorn Energy Without getting into the nitty gritty of everything going on in the cosmos, alongside the influences of Chiron the wounded healer in Aries, Neptune in Pisces, Mars and Uranus in Taurus it's a dense pressure cooker with regards to internal tension and emotions arising from beneath the surface and shadows. Capricorn is an earth sign so really focus on practices such as grounding and earthing a well as spending time in nature to relax, reset and release. It's feeling to me energetically like one of those moons that feels like a lot in the moment but afterwards and the end you feel so much better for it, lightened and lifted. Capricorn is the sea goat after all so instinctively and intuitively you know how to navigate the sometimes choppy,

Human Design, Identity Shift and The Great Unlearning Hello beautiful souls, and welcome to today's episode inspired by the 8 beautiful women I am taking on retreat to Bali in less than 3 weeks! A beautiful golden thread that weaves amongst us all is that we are all navigating and relating identity shifts whether its in regards to different stages of life or a coming of ages for example. It's so interesting for me to speak about it especially given my human design personally I have a completely open and undefined g centre and with that comes a common misconception especially for reflectors that it means you have no identity which isn't true. I definitely have one and if you were to ask people who is Phi I think you'd find they would say human design expert, life coach, positivity queen, beach living, the colour orange, sunflowers and so fourth. Thus we have this concept of self appointed identity and your true identity. There's so many layers to this and I delve into this in greater depth in Chapter 7 Self Identity of my book The Great Unlearning available as a physical book, e book and audiobook too by the way! I write that learning is that You are (insert name). You are (insert number) years old. You are a (insert job here). Who are you? Who are you really? Are you you because of you or because the world made you this way? Do you know your place in this world? How do you answer those awkward ice breakers in a group environment? Fun fact about yourself? (Cue the anxiety racking your brain for one.) Two truths and a lie? What makes you, you? You are normal, right? Human Design as a tool to navigate an identity shift We have labels and ways we attempt to understand ourselves ultimately as a divine soul having a human experience. Our identity is one of those ways we make sense of the world and the best tool, modality and framework for that in my opinion is human design because it's so incredibly powerful. It's a map and guide to who you are through the lens of your energy, personality, where energy flows between different parts of who you are, life themes and amongst a diverse and rich set of information found in your human design blueprint which I'll add I do readings as well as online blueprints which you can find on my website and to book in a reading with me. Saturn Return and Identity Shift So how did identity shifts come into the fold of conversation well the other day last week I found myself at the beach on the sand after I swim where I used to live for four years and it dawned on me that I hadn't been back since I moved out off the back of the breakup 2 years ago with my ex partner of 3 years. I had this moment where I was like wow I am so different to the girl who used to come to this beach everyday whether it was 5am before work and side hustle life coaching or 11am on a Monday to soak in my new found freedom running my own business. That in itself I had so many identities tied to this one moment time and strangely but not really because nothing is a coincidence is it, that hey I happened to also end up at this beach around the time we parted ways for good when my ex partner moved back to England. A few of the identity interplays I had back then: I was going through my Saturn Return at around the age of 27. Before my Saturn Return begun I had just moved to my own two...
The aftermath of what can happen after a kitchari cleanse: emotional clearing and release.

It covers what kitchari is, how it stems from the Ayurveda and the emotional journey of doing a cleanse.

In particular working with beautiful clients and it's so intriguing and special to be privileged to work 1:1 with incredible souls and being able to see patterns emerge within sessions too. This week thematically for clients it's been about career shifts, looking for jobs and inner child work and healing. What's really at the core of all of this has been empowering clients to be in their power when it comes to their career and being a kind, loving and respectful custodian and protector to their inner child. As a result of working together I've seen clients in their own businesses step up their boundaries and let go of what's no longer aligned in their business, start job searches despite resistance in the form of imposter syndrome and ego, support career moves and transitions into a different industry and reconnect with their inner child in need of love, acknowledgement and support. 1:1 coaching dating and being single As I speak and reflect in real time, another theme that's come through is relationships in coaching sessions whether it's helping a client work through a decision to break up or not going through decision and analysis paralysis as well as riding the emotional waves that comes with contemplating a break up: fear, sadness, regret which can be so hard and challenging to go through alone. I've also witnessed with so much pride a client in her three month coaching package, midway through powerfully choose herself and vision for love, part ways with a man who couldn't fully commit to her and is now dating again with more conscious awareness and stronger boundaries to ensure that now she is dating again, that she won't doesn't get dragged in dating someone for a while with commitment. It's so exciting to hear she's started dating someone new, having gone from a year dating without commitment, working with his work and life schedule over hers to now opening up coaching conversations about how her values and boundaries at the forefront of her mind. Proud coach moment! Having talked about all these beautiful moments if you are feeling the pull, looking for more guidance and support in your life, I invite you to consider 1:1 coaching, I do have spots available more information on my website or please get in touch via Instagram to set up a free 30 minute call to chat, see if we are aligned and how I can help you. Full moon solstice food cleanse Collectively what else I've noticed was the impact of that powerful Capricorn full moon and solstice. I asked you guys and everyone who voted on the Instagram poll agreed, there was some funky, dense and potent energy around. With full moon energy it is all about releasing and letting go and so I've actually been on a cleanse for the past week, two different ones and today I am going to chat about the first half of the cleanse I have been doing. Before I begin, I wanted to be clear that I am sharing my own research and lived experiences. I encourage you to please use your own discernment. I am not a medical professional and what I share here is not intended to replace professional medical or dietary advice. Please always consult with a professional healthcare practitioner.

Phi's book; The Great Unlearning: Awakening to Living an Aligned and Authentic Life. The journey of The Great Unlearning Hello beautiful soul, I can't believe I am saying this and it still feels surreal, Happy 1st birthday to my debut first book - The Great Unlearning: Awakening to Living an Aligned and authentic life. It was one year ago today on June 23rd 2023 that she was released and I'm honestly still taking a moment to reflect on the year that's gone by and this is where this episode is coming in! Celebrations, reflections and musing in honour of TGU's 1st birthday. I still remember when the book was a seedling of an idea around the time I launched in her vitality which was previously my Instagram handle when I first started a mental health passion project which was that page and it's now evolved to well me @thephidang and being a life coach. I've just had a look on Instagram and I started my page on August 3rd 2019, which then became my own personal brand which was around 200 weeks ago so around the end of August/beginning September 2020! I remember I was so scared going from anonymous, to showing my face and then fully making the account ‘me.' Shortly after that I began life coaching on demand, as a side hustle to my corporate career and in September 2021 I resigned to go all in and full time as a life coach. At the beginning of 2022 was when I signed my book deal, started writing The Great Unlearning and the publication date June 23 2023. Wow! What a journey it's been. A lifelong childhood dream fulfilled It still remains and will remain as one of the best moments of my life to have fulfilled a life long dream to not only write a book but publish one, I still get so giddy seeing the book in a bookstore or having someone share their thoughts and experience in reading the book! Which I will cheekily say, it would mean the world to me to have your support, if you have read it to please leave a book review somewhere or talk about it with a friend, it helps me spread the word and get it read by more people on my mission to help everyone unlearn everything that holds you back. Diving into this episode I thought I would take you behind the scenes of what it's like to get an idea for a book. to write it and have it published too. From having the idea to write a book, looking back in hindsight through the lens of human design: from a young age I've always loved literature, my Dad was an English teacher in Vietnam and I remember him reading me books before I would sleep every night. I have this clear memory of starting school, being in kindergarten and our teacher asked us to draw pictures of what we did over the weekend. I remember drawing a soccer ball and house, writing ‘house' and ‘ball' underneath. The memory is so vivid because my teacher was shocked asking how did I already know how to write and I proudly said my dad taught me at home! I have really lovely memories of him reading to me but also helping me write and draw shapes. Being seen as a hermit, 2, in human design Fast forward at school English was one of my best subjects alongside business and economics which again make sense because I genuinely loved all three (well maybe definitely english and business over economics which became too math-y for my liking and enjoyment at a University level).

Uranus Opposition Context Hello beautiful soul, We all know about Saturn Return, one of if not the universal pivotal transit that everyone goes through between the ages of 27-31. I have previously done a dedicated podcast episode (34) and today this episode is all about your Uranus Opposition which isn't as mainstream as knowing about your Saturn Return has become. To simplify Saturn Return late 20's to 30s, your Uranus Opposition is late 30's to 40. After that comes your Chiron Return your late 40's to entering your 50's. They are the big 3 transits that everyone will experience in their life at the same time. Comparing your Saturn Return to your Uranus Opposition As with all energetic transits and changes in your life, human design can help you uncover and understand your Uranus Opposition. Your Saturn return is your coming of age, the spiritual equivalent of turning 21, it has the energy of taking a leap of faith. It is a period of your life where you mature, taking on responsibilities, being disciplined in alignment with them and making significant life decisions that shape your future. It's about committing to a path and building a solid foundation as more of a conscious being. In contrast, your Uranus Opposition can be likened to your spiritual equivalent of a ‘mid life crisis.' It often happens around your 40's and from my experience I've seen people as early as from their mid 30's beginning to feel the energies of their Uranus Opposition transit. It's when you really start to feel into what is the meaning and purpose of your life. If you've had a deeper human design reading with me, this is where it really shifts from where you came from to where you are going, your destiny. What is your Uranus Opposition Human Design Your Uranus Opposition transit is about breaking free from established patterns and embracing change and innovation. It's less about building and more about exploring and transforming. It can symbolise a period of significant upheaval and transformation, marked by a journey and quest for authenticity and freedom. It challenges you to break away from the familiar and embrace new and unconventional paths, often leading to profound personal growth and a redefined sense of self. Hence, your Uranus Opposition can be a shocking time in your life, Uranus itself is a planet known for change - extremes, breakdowns, breakthroughs. It's known as the 'awakener' for bringing sudden shocks and changes. In fact Uranus' energy is very electric in nature. It brings a jolt when you're in this stage of life where you don't feel very old but you're not young either, you're in between. It can feel awkward and clunky. You had all these hopes, dreams and desires in your 20's, how has that eventuated? Astrologically speaking when Uranus is in opposition, it's in the exact opposite placement of where it was when you were born. It marks a turning point in your life supposedly 'the half way point.' It can be confronting. It can be challenging. It can be chaotic. From my own experience of coaching clients during a Uranus Opposition and through Uranus Opposition Human Design Readings,
Perfectionism often holds us back from reaching our full potential, paralysing us with the fear of making mistakes. But what if we shifted our focus from achieving perfection to striving for precision? What if we embraced wobble moments, and in fact leaned into the wobble? That there is so much strength embedded in imperfection. Resources from today's episode Work with Phi Learn more about 1:1 Coaching with Phi here. Apply for 1:1 Coaching with Phi here.

Inspired by wobbling, the wobble moments Hello beautiful soul, how is your heart and soul today? Earlier this week I wrote a piece on wobbling that's on my Instagram: “It's okay, even though it doesn't seem or appear to be. It's okay to wobble, to fall, to stumble, to trip. It happens when you're doing your best outside your comfort zone. It happens when you are pushing beyond the edges of your fears to expand. This is the space, the void, where growth truly occurs, where you discover strengths you never knew you had. It's in these moments of uncertainty, instability and challenge that you build resilience and character. Every step taken beyond your familiar is a stride towards a more courageous, confident, and capable version of yourself. Embracing discomfort is not easy, but you're doing it beautiful soul because you're unlocking your full potential and that's a beautiful, brave thing. Keep going.” Wobbling and life coaching This was inspired by my coaching clients as I have the privilege of holding space, guiding and supporting them. Seeing wobbles in different contexts and areas of life. Please note I share these examples with strict anonymity and confidentiality. Names, situations have been tweaked and changed so I can share with you examples of life coaching and the power of it. Emily has been feeling stuck in her job for years, dreaming of pursuing her passion for photography full-time. However, the idea of leaving the stability of her job is daunting, and she's uncertain about whether she can make it as a professional photographer. During coaching sessions, Emily experiences moments of doubt and fear, wondering if she's making the right decision. Through coaching and working together, Emily realises that her fear is a sign that she's stepping outside of her comfort zone and pursuing her dreams. The fear is a wobble but her strength is aligning in her purpose, her passion. Ashley, a client struggling with communication issues in his relationship, experiences a wobble when he and his partner have a disagreement. Feeling frustrated and unsure of how to move forward, that's when Ashley decided to do life coaching with me. In our conversations we uncover underlying patterns and beliefs that contribute to his communication challenges. The wobbles manifest as unconsciously picking fights or self sabotaging based self worth. As Ashley gains insight into his own triggers and behaviours, he begins to see his wobble as an opportunity to deepen his connection with his partner. To do the work first within himself to improve the relationship and to open up his heart and be more vulnerable about past experiences that have led to these triggers and behaviours. How to cope with wobbling through life coaching These are only just two examples! If you're feeling the pull and resonating with what I'm sharing, I have 1:1 coaching spots open and invite you to get in touch so I can set up a free call to chat with you to see if we aligned and a fit for working together to help you be happier, soul satisfied, self fulfilled, abundant, magnetic, radiant, loving and beyond. Be willing to wobble Today's episode is fuelled by the wobble! Wobbling is not a sign of weakness; it's a sign of growth in motion. Think about it like this: when we're learning to ride a bike, we don't just jump on and magically ride perfectly from the get-go.

Intuitive message on ageing Hi Beautiful Souls, how is your heart and soul today? I've been doing some wonderful 1:1 coaching calls and human design readings and a theme that has come through strongly of lately is ageing. Now ageing isn't unique to some people, it's a universal passage and journey that we will all experience. It inspired a recent Instagram post I wrote: “And suddenly you're older. Fear hits you like a truck as does the anxiety and panic. Here's the the thing, what a privilege it is to age. You are also wiser. You are also stronger. You are also more resilient. Age has made you more agile and adaptable. You'll never be as young as you are right now. Your spirit is eternal. Your spirit is endless. The sum of who you are in this moment is every age that you've been. Think of who you've been before, who you are now and who you are becoming. That is oh so very beautiful.” Phi Dang Astrological energetic transits ageing I've been doing Saturn Return readings for those currently in the lead up to and their transit 27-30 which is the spiritual equivalent of turning 21, your coming of age. Many of which this week happened to be karmic in nature. I also did a reading for a projector who's in her 30's and trying to understand the purpose of why she went through what she did and the current phase after her life (because to have your Saturn Return is one thing, Saturn is about discipline after all so it's about maintaining the lessons and growth from your Saturn Return) until you hit your 40's whereby it's all about your Uranus Opposition, the spiritual mid life point or for some mid life crisis vibes. I've also been coaching clients this week particularly aged 20-24 and talking about how each year of your 20's is so different. At any given point in time there's astrological transits to help you expand and grow more, to become more aligned with yourself - that's an episode for another day but essentially if you're feeling a curiosity around how you're feeling in relation to a certain age, chances are you're in a transit. You can find out more in 1:1 coaching or a human design reading with me! Oracle card ageing I also pulled a collective oracle card for anyone listening to this podcast and no surprises the ‘aging' one came out with this mantra: I am one with unlimited love, beyond all seeming restrictions of age. I am filled with joy, energy and beauty - a vessel for the divine. Redefining ageing Society often portrays aging, especially for women, as something to be feared or avoided. But aging is a natural, inevitable part of life that brings wisdom, experience, and new opportunities. “It is commonly thought that time is the particular enemy of women. Because we supposedly have so much to lose: our ‘looks', our fertility, our cultural capital… But there are other ways of looking at it. That women have timepieces built into their bodies – ‘primarily biological clocks' and the menopause – signs that must eventually be heeded, signs that are, finally, impossible to ignore, seems to me as much a gift as a curse…It strikes me that one consequence of this bodily awareness of time is that adulthood – with all its complex responsibilities and demands – often seems to come as less of a surprise to women than it does to men (there's a reason our folk tales are full of ‘wise old women').” Dianne Keaton Further to that, as a life coach I will say that our thoughts create our reality t...

Collective energy leading up to Sagittarius full moon Hi beautiful soul, how are you? It's been a little break since the last podcast episode however this morning I woke up with a strong, clear message to do a podcast on the full moon that is taking place in Sagittarius on the 23rd of May. The portal will be open over the next few days and will likely ease next week.It's a beautiful one nicknamed the flower moon. Know that if you've been feeling heavier, denser, more tired and emotional that you aren't alone, the collective energies have been definitely feeling that way so this is a powerful time to reset and let go. It's also really interesting I feel like there's been a lot of karmic healing, growth and lessons taking place, it's something that's been really strong in the human design readings I've done this week and I'm really feeling a call to do more karmic work with clients and within readings which on a side note if you are interested, I do have availability so if you're feeling the call, I invite you to book into a human design reading with me! Challenges and blessings of this Sagittarius full moon It makes a lot of sense given Sagittarius is the sign of the centaur and as many of you will know of which is the symbol for Chiron, the wounded healer. This is amplified given Pluto in the sky whilst the full moon is taking place too (all about the subconscious and spiritual rebirth energy), heightening emotions, relationships and situations at this time. We are always rewarded for doing the work including delving into our deepest wounds and shadow work, this moon very much has a lucky, auspicious and optimistic energy that accompanies it too for the blessed planets of Venus and Jupiter are meeting in the sign of Taurus which won't happen again for another 12 years! Something of note should you have Taurus placements within your chart. In contrast to other episodes I've done where I typically share journaling questions all at the end, for this one I'll be sprinkling them throughout with the themes that arise so it's one of those podcasts you may like to listen fully once, go back and go through or as you go pause, reflect or journal.Let's divine into the Sagittarius full moon taking place on May 23 2024 this year. Perspective and acceptance What I'm feeling called to share is that this is a full moon of perspective, it's abundant and invites us to dissolve the seriousness and heaviness into a feeling of lightness. A key to a part of this is acceptance, where are you perhaps resisting accepting something because when we can accept something, whilst we may not like it, it removes a sense of burden. Maybe you're frustrated at doing things recently and you can't see any progress yet. This full moon assures you that everything is adding up and culminating into the bigger picture. The littlest of things do count.Is there anything in your life that calls for acceptance right now? Perhaps something you've been resistant, why? Can you find a way to accept what it is? Reconnect with the new moon in Sagittarius This particular full moon links to the Sagittarius New Moon that took place around the 12th/13th of December last year in 2023. It's a full circle moment so things you may have manifested then may come to fruition now.What was going on in your life back then and how have things changed? What were the little niggly things back then and how...
Let's delve into the layered intricate world of your emotions. In this episode, we're exploring a fundamental truth: Your feelings are always valid. In a world that often dismisses or invalidates emotions, this episode serves as a reminder that what you experience holds weight and significance. We'll navigate the nuances of your feelings are always valid and go deeper together. Resources from today's episode Work with Phi Learn more about 1:1 Coaching with Phi here.

Feelings and emotions: astrology and human design This episode is all about the feels… and you know I feel deeply with all the Scorpio in my chart (a water sign) and being an emotional authority in human design, I'm designed to deeply feel (in fact 50% of the world are emotional authorities too!). It was such a game changer for me learning that I am meant to be what can be labeled as emotional, sensitive or moody (many of which are likely people with an open solar plexus in human design or those who themselves are not comfortable with feeling). Cultural conditioning and emotions Growing up with an Asian heritage as Vietnamese and Chinese, I was conditioned to keep my feelings to myself. Emotions were reinforced as private matters, to be dealt with internally rather than expressed outwardly. This cultural upbringing instills a sense of stoicism and self-reliance, where showing vulnerability was equated with weakness. It was all about saving face, not rocking the boat, maintaining harmony even at the expense of our own emotional well-being. Societal conditioning, women and emotions It's not just cultural conditioning either it's also societal, the stigma surrounding women and emotions often stems from outdated societal beliefs and gender stereotypes. Women have historically been portrayed as overly emotional or irrational, undermining women's credibility and perpetuating harmful gender norms. It's judged upon and easily dismissed being attributed to hormonal fluctuations or back to the classic irrational it doesn't make sense (hello emotions aren't rational!). It's hard to get it right because if you don't display your emotions as a woman particularly warmth, you may be labelled as cold, unfeeling or lacking femininity. This double bind creates a challenging dynamic for women, as we feel pressure to navigate a narrow range of acceptable emotional expression. The reality is that we we live a world that sometimes dismisses or invalidates our feelings. However I truly believe this is getting better especially post pandemic with the rising awareness, interest and social recognition on the importance of mental health now more than ever. As a coach one are in particular I work on a lot with clients is to support and guide my clients into feeling their feelings. Whilst you don't have to understand them to feel them, a lot of clients feel better when there can be an understanding of what's going on beneath the surface which is where I can come in with subconscious work, intuition and human design to support and assist. Your feelings are always valid Accordingly today's episode centres around the perspective that your feelings are always valid. You always have a right to feel what you feel. The nature of emotions is subjective. It's the acknowledgement of hello, yes as I'm existing right now, I am feeling this, right here and now in this moment. Your feelings are valid because you feel them. It's important to remember that validating our feelings doesn't mean we always understand them or agree with them. Emotions can be complex and nuanced, influenced by a multitude of factors such as past experiences, societal norms, and personal beliefs. However, regardless of whether others understand or validate our feelings, we have the right to honor and respect them.

The inspiration behind showing up for yourself Hello beautiful soul,This episode is inspired by a post I shared on Instagram this week about showing up: Show up when things get difficult. When things get out of hand. When things feel dark. Show up, not for the world. Show up, not for anybody else. Show up for you, in whatever way you need to. It's not about being perfect, it's about honouring your heart and soul. Be kind to yourself. Be loving in the way that you need. Take care of yourself and watch as you bloom, watch as life and the universe show up for you too.The message of showing up really came through as a strong clear message as I channeled earlier this week because collectively it's been energetically dense lately, there's been a lot of with eclipse energy, Scorpio full moon and Mercury retrograde. It can feel heavy and so I wanted to share something practical that anyone can do, right now, no matter what is going in your life and that is: showing up. Before I begin, I wanted to show up for you listening to let you know I am here if you need support and guidance. I have availability for 1:1 coaching as well as human design readings so if you've been thinking about it or feeling the pull, this is your sign to get in touch and let's chat to figure out how I can best help you with everything going on in your life and within yourself right now. What does showing up for yourself mean? Showing up is so personal to everyone, it changes and is subject to different circumstances yet ultimately showing up is honouring yourself, making yourself a priority and taking care of yourself. Showing up is to live intentionally and to be an active participant inside of your own life daily.You can thinking of showing up as being the captain of your own ship, navigating the waters of life. Showing up for yourself means taking control of the helm, by making intentional choices, and steering your life in the direction you want to go. Now do note, just because you're in charge doesn't mean you have full control: there are still circumstances you can't such as the wind direction, temperature and the sea in which you are in. So as captain you have to stay attentive and mindful of the changing currents and conditions. Showing up requires your conscious awareness, adaptability and resilience in the face of the dynamic nature of life and potential challenges. Showing up for others is easier In most cases and this may apply to you, it's much easier to show up for someone or something else. Showing up at work out of a sense of duty, obligation and work ethic. Showing up for a family member or friend because you really love them and want to help. What about yourself? Who is showing up for you? Are you showing up for yourself? If you get on that spiral of but if I choose myself first how can I show for others well it's a win win because when you show up for yourself first, your capacity and bandwidth expand so that you can show up for others. It's not about being selfish or not wanting to help others, it's about making sure you're also taking care and loving yourself to as the beautiful, kind, generous and loving soul that you are. Showing up in contrast to self abandonment You may be unconscious that showing up for others is a habit giving away as opposed to conscious and i...

Scorpio Full Moon April 2024 Summary We have the full moon in Scorpio on the 23rd or 24th of April pending where you are. It's been a big time of emotions and fluctuations given the recent eclipse season and now Scorpio's energy enters the picture. When you have scorpio in the air, especially in a full moon, you know there's going to be transformation and intensity. You know that it's going to dive into your inner workings, your subconscious, your emotions and your shadows. It embodies the cycles of life, death and rebirth. The dynamic nature of life To be alive is to be constantly in the process of change and transformation because life is dynamic not static. It is simply the nature of life. We see this everywhere around us: in nature - the environment around us whether it's trees shedding leaves or flowers blooming to animals adapting to the changing world (a recent example I saw was the incredible footage captured of emperor chicks bravely jumping off 15 metre/50 feet ice cliffs in Antarctica in to swim for the first time because of depleting sea levels, the leap is greater than ever than what it used to be). Yet we as humans resist it because we fear change and the uncomfortable feelings and thus the energy of the Scorpio full moon plays its hand to encourage us to face this truth whether we are willing to or not. The tension and discomfort of the Scorpio Full Moon I remember reading somewhere describing when Scorpio enters the picture with the influence of Pluto (the biggest planetary influence in conjunction with this full moon) is also in the air it's like the awkward family reunion you've been avoiding but knowing you have to face and confront, it can be awkward and uncomfortable but ultimately so rewarding and rich in growth. Taurus the backdrop to everything is a fixed sign and change adverse, as is Scorpio so there will be tension, maybe that sensation or feeling of the universe dragging you by your feet. Channeled messages for the Scorpio Full Moon April 2024 A really interesting channeled message that came for anyone listening to this podcast was that there's freedom in everything that falls apart. Surrender is that willingness to let what is happening to happen. We think freedom is peace, and it is but it is also the absence of resistance to give way to flow. I also wanted to shout out the word that kept coming through was “dissolve.” Let life do what it wants. Have faith in the process of why things are unfolding the way that they are. How can you reflect and reassess on being attached vs unattached? How does the ego or non/false sense play into what is going on in life for you? What can become less of a struggle with awareness that may dissolve the intensity and pressure of what you are experiencing? Scorpio Energy and Taylor Swift - The Tortured Poets Department (TTPD) The scorpio full moon is a powerful and raw time to go deeper. A time for realisations and reflections. A time for letting go. A time for liberation. Relating this to what is unfolding real time, I think Taylor Swift's new album ‘The Tortured Poets Department' really embodies the energy of the Scorpio full moon. She pleas temporary insanity and reflects upon getting out of the slammer into the tidal way in her summary poem that accompanies the album speaking to the spectrum and amounts of feelings she's been through in the p...

New beginnings with the Aries Solar Eclipse in April 2024 Hi beautiful souls, the time has come and it is the Aries new moon solar eclipse visible across North America on the 8th of April! This will be Tuesday the 9th of April if you're in Australia like me. Though as we know we can feel the energy strongly a few days either side of the peak. This is the partner eclipse to the Libra full moon eclipse that happened towards the end of March a few week backs around the 23rd/24th if you recall. Whilst Libra will return later in the year with more eclipse energy to come, we won't see eclipse energy in Aries again for the rest of 2024 until it returns at the end of March in 2025.Thus sets the scene with another bonus new year energy start if you haven't felt that yet with all guns are blazing with this energy about new beginnings and fresh starts. Aries kickstarts the zodiac as we know and with the eclipse chapters, Aries points towards our future and destiny astrologically. Energy, life force and self with the nature of the Solar Eclipse The solar eclipse will temporarily have the sun, representing our life force and energy, disappear. Eclipses energetically impact people differently, either you may be highly energised perhaps even restless and impatience. On the other hand it can also trigger intense emotions and exhaustion too. Do note this energy remains for the next six months if you aren't necessarily feeling any changes immediately again this is very personal and depends on each person and their chart.With the momentary darkness it's also symbolic of being cosmically guided to turn within, as with the eclipses some believe it is not about manifesting as traditionally with a new moon but more being aware of the present moment, taking a moment to reflect and pointing our intentions towards the future. This is further amplified by the independent nature of Aries as opposed to Libra in the lunar eclipse last time where I talked about how relationships were more of a thematic. Mercury Retrograde and the Aries New Moon Solar Eclipse As part of the current collective energies, take note we are currently in Mercury Retrograde since the beginning of April until the end around the 25th so take extra care in ensuring clear communications and the well known potential impacts on technology and travel too. Especially with Aries collective energy it can be easy to let fiery energy take over in communications so be mindful of passion, anger, zest and blunt honesty. Chiron and the Aries New Moon Solar Eclipse Chiron the planet representing the wounded healer will also be taking part of the action, astrologically aligning in the heart of the solar eclipse. Energetically, traditionally Chiron in Aries collectively may bring up the following themes:Wound of the self: confidence and being self assured The sun represents the masculine and Aries is ruled by Mars which is also headstrong and masculine in nature; so perhaps anything around the masculine including male figures such as father ones and qualities like taking action, guidance and protection. Chiron Solar Eclipse Journaling Prompts Taking all of this into account with the new moon solar eclipse; here are some journal prompts to consider;What new insights or paths are being illuminated for you right now in your path of...
Unveiling the butterfly effect in this podcast episode to dive deeper into your personal development and growth journey. What exactly is the butterfly effect? What role does the butterfly effect play in your life? This episode shares real examples of the butterfly effect and how it intertwines with universal laws and concepts such as karma. The signs of the butterfly effect Hi beautiful souls, today's podcast is all about the butterfly effect. It's seemingly following me everywhere and I felt called to speak about it after my most recent Instagram post and then one of the books I've been reading ended funnily enough with an epilogue titled ‘The Butterfly Effect.' The metaphor of the butterfly effect isn't actually spiritual in nature, in fact it's origin came from two sources according to the research I've done. In fact the butterfly effect has been adopted to various areas of life from relationships to marketing in businesses. Edward Lorenz and the butterfly effect The most well known origin of the butterfly effect is that of mathematician and meteorologist Edward Lorenz who asked the metaphorical question in the 1960's of does the flap of a butterfly's wings in Brazil set off a tornado in Texas? From that perspective came of how a single flap of a butterfly's wings can be so instrumental in creating an impact, such as a tornado. This is rooted in chaos theory which from my understanding put simply is the study of surprises and the unpredictable. A Sound of Thunder and the butterfly effect Another is 1950's short story titled ‘A Sound of Thunder' by Ray Bradbury which exemplifies the butterfly effect metaphorically and somewhat physically. It is set in 2055 where time travel is possible and wealthy adventurers have the opportunity to make use of this so they go back to the age of dinosaurs. One particular adventurer wanted to hunt dinosaurs and had been told the importance of sticking to the marked trail, one thing leads to another and he carelessly steps on a butterfly in pursuit of a dinosaur changing the course of history in the future. The adventurers return to 2055 where the world has been altered for the worse, language no longer makes sense, an evil dictator is in charge only to be confused and see the crushed butterfly under his boot. The butterfly effect on social media: Instagram and Tiktok The butterfly effect is back in the spotlight recently making waves on social media with people sharing how the smallest of things have had the biggest influence in their lives such as myself simply deciding to start an anonymous Instagram page out of my passion for mental health has now led to me being a life coach full time for almost two and a half years coming up three soon, wild! The butterfly effect in real life can play out in all sorts of ways such as missing a plane which ended up being in an accident, or in a change moment deciding to go to a dinner you didn't want to go to where you end up meeting the love of your life. For example stubbing your toe so you can no longer go out on a Friday night and you're bummed that you're missing out on fun evening but then receiving an important call with news that you may have otherwise ignored or missed. The star thrower and the butterfly effect A really beautiful story that I came across recently resonated with the butterfly theory and how the it can truly be the little small things that make a huge difference. This story is called ‘The Star Thrower' by Loren Eiseley an American anthropologist. Once upon a time, there was an old man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach every morning before he began his work. Early one morning, he was walking along the shore after a big storm had passed and found the vast beach littered with starfish as far as the eye could see, stretching in both directions.Off in the distance,

Personal feelings of the Libra Lunar Eclipse I've just come back from some time in India and Vietnam which I'm processing and whewwwwww we are in the thick of some astrological air aren't we! It's all been leading up to here. We are officially in the astrological new year which begins with the first sign of the Zodiac Aries that happened a few days ago March 19th. Personally returning home with this eclipse energy, I've been sleeping and napping more than ever. It feels like a big detox and purge feeling more tired and sick than usual. Also a lot of vivid dreams and random downloads during meditation. Feeling more inward, introverted and hermitting than usual. Aries Libra Lunar Eclipse Series So what's going on? We happen to be in the middle of a cycle of Aries-Libra eclipses that started last year in April around the 21st and will end next year at the end of March 2025. Last year it was one foot in the old series of Taurus and Scorpio, but this year we are all in on Aries and Libra focusing on the push pull tension of independence, autonomy vs in relationship and connection. Eclipses come in opposing pairs and each pairing happens every 18 years. The last time the Aries and Libra pairing occurred was between 2004 to 2006, so it may be worth reflecting what happened for you then. Aries Libra Lunar Eclipse Series So what's going on?

Libra Lunar Eclipse Intense There's no denying eclipse season is intense as the energy supercharges the full moon and new moon by tenfold. Remember intense doesn't mean bad! Bursts of intensity can be helpful and I'm sure that's something Aries teaches us. Over two weeks so much growth, change and transformation can occur. It all starts on on March 25th with the Full Moon Libra lunar eclipse bringing into play Librian areas of life: relationships, balance. Before the Solar Eclipse in Aries brings new beginnings, the Lunar eclipse can often bring endings and a magnitude of emotions. Feminine Energy and Libra Lunar Eclipse The lunar aspect being the moon signals and indicates our inner realm and rules over our emotions, internal motivations and the feminine aspects of who we are. PSA with these feminine energies at times this can involve a female in our lives whether that's a mother, sister, cousin, friend, boss etc. The eclipse moon is different to the full moon in that it brings out the shadow (the Earth's shadow falls on the face of the moon) - so what can emerge is more information, insights, revelations as well as resurface shadow aspects that previously have been blocked, hidden or unseen. Simply put dredge up stuff you've not been aware of or ignoring really. At this time the veil is also thin between past, present and future, it's a beautiful time to go more inwards and receive information and downloads such as through...

Leap Year February 2024 Happy Leap Year Day! As we speak I'm getting ready to head to India and Vietnam for work so this episode is going to be short, sweet and punchy. I'm really excited about the guests that'll be featuring on the podcast whilst I'm away for two weeks. As you all know I am running a retreat in August later this year in Bali that's sold out and before I hold space and facilitate, I am also attending a retreat in India! I've never been before so a whole new adventure awaits. The lead up to it has been interesting, lots happening and I'm sure lots to transpire and share after. Today is February 29th as I record this episode and it's a leap year that comes every 4 years. The last time we had a leap year was amongst the huge global change and shift in consciousness that was in February 29th 2020. Given leap years don't happen all too often, this date I feel energetically holds space to reflect. What was life like for you 4 years ago around this time? A leap year is about balance A leap year is made to account for lost time, giving us an additional calendar day every four years. In this is also an opportunity to get back into balance and harmony especially given the last few weeks have been energetically intense. Where do you need more balance and harmony in your life right now? Numerology of the leap year in 2024 Every leap year holds the master energy of 11 which I've spoken about in a couple of energy updates already this year but to remind you its the number of the master architect, it's about the vision, the plan and intuition. The numerology of the leap year 2+9+2+2+0+2+4 = 21 = 2 + 1 = 3. The number 3 in numerology is linked to Jupiter which is all about abundance and being an 8 year of course, the energy is strong for abundance. It could be a time to look at your finances, to work on your money mindset and/or manifest money. There's also that saying that goes good things come in 3… Astrologically Mercury is harmoniously dancing with Jupiter at the moment so despite there being some thick and heavy karmic energy in the air, this portal represents optimism, hope and joy. A leap year is about faith A leap can also be embodied by well the leap of faith, the fool tarot card, symbolising a jump into the unknown, anything is possible! A leap of faith is also akin to a quantum jump, timelines can shift, massive growths, a surge in your transformation and changes can happen all in a moment. There's a window for breakthroughs to occur. There's a window for spiritual awakenings to happen.With all portals yes it's most potent on the day of but the portal opens for a few days aside. As with any portal pay attention to signs and synchronicities that pop up, the cosmic coincidences that are at play.Today is February 29th as I record this episode and it's a leap year that comes every 4 years. The last time we had a leap year was amongst the huge global change and shift in consciousness that was in February 29th 2020. Given leap years don't happen all too often, this date I feel energetically holds space to reflect. What was life like for you 4 years ago around this time? A leap year breaks traditions and is about being bold In ancient Irish Folklore it was said that Saint Brigid, like the Goddess Brigid of light made a deal with Saint Patrick where back in the day a deal was struck where women could propose to men to balan...
This episode unpacks and explains the 222 Portal in February 2024. The significance of angel number 222.

Heartful - Self Love Workshop Hello beautiful soul, You must be listening and here for the tea on the 222 portal in 2024! Before I go into that I wanted to share with you that next week I'm doing a live self love workshop yes! This month is February or should I say Feb-you-ary and in recent times everyone talks about being mindful… but what about being heartful? Heartful is the live 60 minute workshop I'll be doing next Tuesday on the 27th at 7:30pm AEDT Sydney time and if you can't make it, there will be a replay sent out within 24 hours! It only costs $44.44 AUD which is roughly $30 USD. 222 Angel Number Meaning Now let' s talk about the 222 portal for 2024. 222 is an angel number for balance, trust, cooperation and harmony. Some believe this portal has been open since 2/2 which is the 2nd of February and the 22nd representing 222 is when the energy is at its peak. Let me break it down for you with themes that arise for the 222 portal in 2024; 222 portal - Love and Partnerships / Masculine and Feminine This year in particular there is the energy of love and partnerships. During the 222 portal, legendary lover planets, the ultimate power couple Venus and Mars are coming together in the sky. This happens every 2-3 years. Thus in February 2024 with this meeting, you can see it as kicking off a new cycle in terms of love, dating and relationships. Venus represents feminine energy, and is all about love, beauty, money and harmony. Mars represents masculine energy and is all about taking action, assertiveness and growth. This is symbolic of union in relationships as well as balancing masculine and feminine energies. Themes to consider: sensuality, sexuality, desire, attraction, magnetism and willpower. The last time Venus and Mars linked up was in March 2022 so it's worth reflecting on your attitude, approach and actions towards love, partnerships and the balance of feminine and masculine energy. Not only that this is taking place in a year where we have Aries in the north node (all about independence) and Libra in the south node (all about partnerships). Manifesting love with the 222 portal in 2024 Very well during this time it's a great to manifest and call in love. What are you desiring in partnership? It's also good to be discerning about dating around this time because the Venus Mars transit may activate soul contracts: it could be karmic, it could be your soul mate or twin flame or it could be a soul that's here to activate and teach you. Relationships during the 222 portal in 2024 If you currently have a partner, this transit is a great time to pause and reflect on how you are feeling in your relationship — is it time to rejuvenate and revamp? Reset - getting back on the same page? Refocus - if you've been neglecting your relationship and partner as a priority? Recement your connection with romance? There could be the opportunity to respark a relationship, reigniting attraction, being more playful and deepening intimacy, vulnerability and connection. Breakups and heartache during the 222 portal in 2024 If you are going through a break up the 222 portal has beautiful energy around healing and finding your own two feet again. It takes two to tango in a relationship so perhaps it's prompting reflection on your ...

Collectively in human design we've had the energy of the feels. Deep feelings. I've observed this within myself as an emotional authority in human design as well as in sessions with clients too. It's those heavier, harder hitting feelings. The feelings you can't run away from or ignore. The acute awareness and pressure of how deeply you are feeling something. When we feel so much it can bottle up and then come exploding out. At times we don't know what to do with all these feelings and so accordingly, I thought it would be really interesting to delve into the concept of spiritual tantrums this week. What are spiritual tantrums? Spiritual tantrums are those moments when our emotions seem to spiral out of control, challenging our ego and inner peace. Things aren't going the way we want. It renders you feeling powerless, helpless, defeated, deflated and disheartened. It's not just children who have tantrums, as adults we do too. Perhaps our inner child within feeling frustrated at how life is going and what is unfolding for us. Thus a tantrum arises, we want to scream, beg, kick, cry and twist the arm of the universe to have something done exactly in the way we want, how we want it and when we want it. If only! We know life doesn't work like this. Even though we know deep down what needs to be done and letting self discipline and self responsibility kick in… no I don't want to adult today. No I don't want to be conscious and aware today. No I don't want to be here now in the present moment. No this sucks, it's not real, everything I've been trying to manifest hasn't happened yet it's all fake. Spiritual tantrum meanings Sometimes the tantrum calls for a deep frustration, rage that has us boiling, figurative steam blowing out of your ears - the ego cries it's not fair! Other it calls for retreating into a corner or fetal position sulking and sadness, feeling sorry for oneself - the ego cries poor me. Some moments you hear yourself whispering but it's not fair, I did everything I was supposed to. I do all the right things yet nothing - the ego cries I'm feeling entitled. The ego jumps into default, why is this happening, what did I do to deserve this? Are spiritual tantrums bad? All valid responses too I might add, we are human after all! When things aren't going our way it does suck. It can induce anger. It can induce tears. What spiritual tantrums mean for your growth A spiritual temper tantrum is normal. It's often a symptom things are changing around you in a way that's stretching your normal tolerance, it's uncomfortable, it's edgy. It's showing you that you're going beyond your established limits, to break free often from repetitive patterns and anything else that holds you back. It's an authentic part of the human experience. Like most children who have a tantrum, throwing every toy possible out of the cot, getting louder, whining, getting mopier, begging, pleading, bargaining… we hope that through the outburst things will go away, but cooling reality quickly comes into play. You can throw as many tantrums as you want, it doesn't mean you'll get your way. It doesn't mean you'll get the full undividing attention of the universe. The universe is your loving parent
This episode is all about the Aquarius Super New Moon taking place February 2024 this week ushering in the Year of the Dragon.

Episode Introduction - Aquarius Super New Moon February 2024 Hello beautiful soul,Well well well we are in for a cosmic ride! Last week I spoke about the upcoming Lunar New Year and just before it to end the week is the Aquarius New Moon that precedes it. The 9th in the northern hemisphere and 10th in the southern if you're in Australia like me. It's not just any new moon, it happens to be a super new moon. As it's a new moon it's not visible in the sky, so think of this as a blank canvas and reset.Astrologically there's a lot going on and I always like to channel and distill the important parts that I think are relevant to you listening to this podcast. I won't beat around the bush by saying off the bat this isn't a grounding, nourish new moon this is an electric charged, potent super new moon pushing into the new out of your comfort zone. After all it's an Aquarius Super New Moon bringing in the year of the Dragon for 2024.It really is all about Aquarius with this energy, you've got a planetary pile up; the sun, moon here, Pluto, mercury with Venus and and Mars to join too. An energetic reset and a whole lotta energies! This super new moon you can think of an energetic reset as I've said earlier some deem it the true new year. The super new moon aspect think of it just amplifying and magnifying the energies so things feel more intense. Your emotions feel more intense. Your thoughts feel more intense.More over with this super new moon what I'm feeling into is funky, and yes uncomfortable and unpredictable. There's a feeling of restlessness in the air. A sprinkle of existentialism. This is set in motion for a first in our lifetime event when Mercury (the planet of communication) enters Aquarius and aligns with Pluto (the truth teller). In addition to that we have the new moon in a challenging position squaring Uranus (the unexpected) in the sign of Taurus (fixed aspects, stubborn nature).Expect shakes up. Truths to come up. There's tension. There's pressure. Things from the past re-emerge once again (to be cleared). It's this feeling and sensation of wanting to break free and we are being challenged to let go, surrender and move forward with courage and authenticity. Communication and Confrontation with this Aquarius Super New Moon February 2024 With this influence we may need to say and speak up what we don't often want to, confronting things to say out loud (Aquarius and Mercury together are all about communication, ideologies).Aquarians are known to have a tough exterior and it feels like with all these planetary placements, it's been astrological organised to have a cracking open experience and sensation which can be painful at first but ultimately for the best to open us up, unravelling deeper layers of ourselves, to shed what no longer serves us.This is about confronting ourselves and being willing to go beneath the surface, into our psyche and subconscious. In this we can find the underlying cause, the root of the problem which is the medicine and the healing. If you know of Chiron (the wounded healer) is inching closer towards the North Node (fate and destiny) which will culminate in April so for now we are getting a taster of intense confronting healing taking place (can't hide with the astrological energies at play). There is tension here because the moon rules our in...

Episode Introduction - Lunar New Year Wood Dragon Hello Beautiful Soul,Can you believe it's already February. Personally for me this is the fastest January I've had go by in my life, most years January feels quite slow and paced but not in 2024! Speaking of which going by new years we have the upcoming Lunar New Year on the 10th in the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Dragon. This episode is all about dragon energy and personal power. Chinese Zodiac Dragon Symbolism The dragon represents power, success, good fortune, courage in the Chinese Zodiac. Chinese Zodiac Wood Element Within the subset of dragon, the element this year is that of wood. The last time we had the year of the dragon was in 2012 however that was the year of the water dragon. The wood element in the Chinese Zodiac is rooted in that of mighty trees. Wood is about expansion, growth, pushing, changing, movement and progress. Wood of all the elements is alive and dynamic.Wood is patient, grounded and down to earth. Wood has structure: strong, reliable, organised, diving deep into the details and inner workings.Wood seeks direction. Wood grows in the dark and moves towards the light. Just as humans do, we can grow from the darkness: the struggles and challenges. As our highest selves we move towards the light, we remember the light, we remember we come from both the dark and light.Wood is sociable, think of the underground networks of trees of the interconnection, interaction, cooperation.Wood is associated with the Spring Season - freshness, new beginnings, coming back to life. Wood Dragon Emotions The emotion of wood in the Chinese Zodiac is anger and frustration. Think of it being pent up, repression, to become wooden, hard, inflexible instead of swaying with the wind, snapping in the wind. Repressed anger comes to the surface as sarcasm, bitterness and being cynical. Drawing from the lineage of the wood element, in the Chinese Zodiac this is linked to the element of water. From a Chinese Zodiac perspective, anger is rooted in fear. Anger is in response to fear. Anger speaks from a place of “I am scared and I need to protect myself.” Wood Dragon - Traditional Chinese Medicine The body parts in Traditional Chinese Medicine associated with wood are the liver and gallbladder. These organs are in charge of detoxification. So of course repressing anger, it builds up, it isn't cleared but stuck energetically in the body. When we want to escape from our feelings or ignore them what happens societally speaking? We turn to alcohol and substances that greatly impact the liver. Wood Dragon Reiki Drawing from research found through the lens of reiki it says if we can't turn aggression into expression, purpose, fuel and striving towards bettering ourselves and goals that it can lead to gout, arthritis, stiff body parts, constipation, auto immune or auto aggressive disorders. Interestingly, these conditions are more often found in women, and in patriarchal cultures women have less opportunity than men do to express themselves, especially when it comes to carrying through with an idea or venting their anger.Source: Reiki Evolution Wood Dragon - Perspective on Anger An interesting perspective next time you feel angry at any point this year, ask yourself where is the fear here,

Episode Introduction - Human Design Happy Human Design New Year my love!It is now the new year in terms of human design woohoo which is what this episode will be about however like I said in the energy update for 2024, for some you may not be feeling it yet and that's so okay, however if you are that may be a sign you resonate and align with human design energies or even astrology with the shift in Pluto to Aquarius (a new 20 year chapter) as I mentioned in Episode 59.If you don't know human design, I have lots of information on my website, a podcast episode 31 - What is Human Design. You can book in a foundational human design reading with me through my website or purchase a human design blueprint. I've also been doing 2024 readings, energetically looking into your year ahead from the lenses of human design and energy. To book head to my website phidang.comBefore we begin my heart is so FULL and so EXCITED to announce that the Recharge and Renew Retreat is sold out! It did in 3 days which is absolutely incredible and I am definitely looking to run it again next year and more in Australia too so if you're interested send me a message on Instagram @thephidang or email me hi@phidang.com to be put on the updates list. Human Design New Year Motivation - Heart The way human design sees the new year is a whole new cycle of experience. Human Design New Year for many is very much about intentions over resolutions or goals because the majority of the population have an open heart, which is the centre for motivation and willpower. When it's open you have inconsistent access to your own motivation and willpower therefore if you do happen to have an open heart, please don't beat yourself, get annoyed and frustrated when you seemingly seem so motivated one minute and the the next not, that's how you are designed and built to be in human design. From my experience doing hundreds of reasons, it is about unlearning the societal expectation to always be working towards something and instead getting you to shift into the being. We all have some seasons, move and flow with your energy instead of blocking it. How your open centres impact your Human Design New Year Now add in all the other open centres and other things will pop up like the open ajna beating yourself up for not being able to land on concrete intentions/goals (even though you're not supposed to and be mentally fluid) or the open root the centre for stress, feeling all this immense pressure on yourself to do something in relation to the new year or for manifestors, projectors and reflectors having an open sacral leads to having challenges prioritising with regards to the relationship of over promising when caught up in the sacral energy of generators and manifesting generators. Of course there comes into play structure and self discipline but that's a conversation for a different day and again with human design it's so personal to your unique energetic blueprint so if you're interested let's chat! Practical Example Human Design New Year Energy Flow (Strategy and Authority) I have an open heart in human design and how it played out for me was that last year when in September when I was in Bali, I had a strong full body urge to run a retreat. I let it marinade,
