    Hi friends! This impending mercury retrograde and finishing moon cycle isn’t doing anyone any favors when it comes to our shadow sides but I couldn’t procrastinate out of fear any longer. This is a little about tarot, herbs, meditation and ways that we determine our value and worthiness outside of ourselves when it should be inside of ourselves. I hope some helps!

    Hi! This is Ren. In this episode, I share what this last mercury retrograde brought me and how I’m sticking to my Goals to Grow Into with these new lessons. One of which is how I am violating my own personal mantra of not ever treating people as though their current identities are made up of their past faults. Also, how forcing oneself to be “okay” in a situation that may require a different method of coping might actually be a form of self-harm and projection. Please let me know if you had any good discoveries during this last mercury retrograde—it’s one of my favorite topics! **Links mentioned: www.patreon.com/GrungeGranny and www.grungegranny.com.

    Ren makes progress on their goals to grow into and says no! They also realize that the challenge of the Mundane Everyday Walkabout isn’t to trudge on through the things wearing you out until you’re complacent, but to find ways to actually fix what is a problem and face your fears! Ren faltered with the socializing goal but will fix it. Inspired by the podcast, Happier, Ren wants to list Ten Things for the rest of 2019 to do!
