If you're curious to see if Embody U, my 3 month sacred business program infusing astrology principles in your growing business is right for you, I created a foundations masterclass training made for astrology-curious soulpreneurs for $37 you can access here. In this episode, I share: Life & biz updates after my period of Mars Rx hibernation How to recession proof your business while honoring ethics. As a neurodivergent astrologer, online business strategist, educator and an "ambivert-ish" person moving through the world, part of the conditioning that I've been navigating is releasing guilt around my energy levels changing like the phases of the moon. On a macro level, I've been observing how I parallel what I do in my business to the changes of the season. After recovering from burnout 3 times (each time, my burnout period lasted anywhere from 3 months to 9 months) during my years in corporate and building e-commerce brands, building a business that sustains my energy as I move through my cyclic waves became paramount. The second item next on my priority list after I figured out how to fill my own cup back up - unique to my conditioning & life lessons, was figuring out how to help other growing soulpreneurs break the vicious cycle of busywork, teetering on the edges of burnout because they didn't have the supportive tools that honors their unique energy. As I look at what's happening in our current economic climate, the way outdated financial structures are going through it's tower moment - I also understand that fear, uncertainty may take the driver's seat. I felt called to explore how we navigate our business with resilience & grace, how we stay authentic in our soulpreneurship while honoring the ethtics of this financial climate without furthering harm & scarcity in others.

I shared a transmission with my community over on Instagram on some of my reflections this Super Full Moon in Capricorn and decided to share it here on my podcast show because the message is important. Depending on which house your Lilith is in, this house can talk about the area of our life in which we might experience abuse, disempowerment - having our external validation of power taken away from us for us to find it without ourselves. This Full Moon in Capricorn speaks to me deeply as I look towards my 10th house in Lilith, healing from the toxic patterns/chaotic cycles of my career back when I was working in different corporate environments. I'm no stranger to falling into the cycles of workplace burnout and being dangled a carrot of recognition for how self-sacrificing we are. As I look back on this period in my life many years ago - I see that on a huge collective level, extreme capitalistic systems are creating a breaking point for many individuals disillusioned by the promise falsely given to them through their higher education, relentless employers, and conditioned self-talk of “Why can't I keep up with my work peers?” “I can't let my boss know I'm falling apart. Must take on more to be recognized.” And when we do speak up about our boundaries, I can't tell how you many times clients come to me in with their backs up against the wall sharing how their employers, the organizations they've been so loyal and devoted to don't give a crap about their well-being if it doesn't support the company's bottom line. I use to be ashamed of my rage. It took a lot of inner work and teaching myself to detach from external validation from others (especially in the workplace) to let go of the unhealthy cycle of martyring myself for someone else's ambition against my own humanity. I'm no longer subduing my inner Lilith. The rage that runs through my veins fuels me. It guides me with a sense of purpose to make sure others don't subject themselves to the same toxic work abuse that I've went through.

“Loneliness does not come from having no people around you, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to you.” - Carl Jung In today's episode, I share my most recent mother wound trigger when my partner and I visited my family in California.

Dr. Rebecca Nicholson is a specialist in conflict analysis and resolution, has worked in counter post-war communal violence in West Africa, collaborated with nonprofit organizations to combat human trafficking, and has contributed research on genocide prevention. She also worked in human intelligence, from FBI armed hostage negotiations to working as a Senior Scientist to use nonlethal soft power tactics to augment psychological operations and civil-military affairs. We talk about how she went through her own dark night of the soul for 6 years, leading her exploration into natural healing and bridging the connection between both physical and non-physical worlds into different spiritual practices. In this episode, we talk about her bridge into spirituality and how much of modern society continues to persecute spiritual thought through downplaying, colonizing the concept into “woo” without fully understanding the breadth of what the non-physical world is really about and what it has to truly offer. We tackle the tough conversation on the relationship between science and spirituality as scientists and spiritual teachers pursue very different goals. This is why I find talking to Dr. Nicholson such a breath of fresh air. What happens, when part of the journey of living a full life is bridging the gap between spirituality and science? And what happens when society deems the unity of two concepts to be the anomaly? Shownotes: [11:54-12:47] Dr. Nicholson shares about how and why she went for a Ph.D. in Conflict Analysis and Resolution. [13:28-13:54] Why the definition of conflict is a real or perceived blocking of goals between two or more interdependent parties. [25:40-25:50] She talks about how she was able to earn her own place, power and be able to do something useful in the world. [30:11-30:20] She discussed how we interact mentally, emotionally, and on the physical plane with people. [39:24-39:37] We talked about sensitivity and setting intuitive boundaries. [41:26-41:48] Being able to tap into your energetics, emotions, different ways that you can understand what's going on with people in a healing capacity. [1:10-1:11] We discuss why nobody ever can trump your own knowledge of what your path is.

We oftentimes hide from situations where we can't predict or control the outcome. Most of our fear lies in how much we depend on our ability to control the situation and our fear of not receiving the exact outcome as our expectations. Such a masculine thing - to always need to be in control. So much so, you don't give yourself the opportunity to be seen at all. In this episode of the Golden Hour Series, I talk about why humans crave so much certainty. We hide so much from others... so much so, we choose to hide from ourselves. Our dreams. Our needs, our biggest wants. We dim our opinions, our messiness, our "this is too much of me" to accommodate others. We want other imperfect humans to think of us as the basis of what we define as the worthiness we must meet in order to be accepted. This way of being is such a disservice to others. It's such a disservice to you. I share the pervasive discomfort that is the side effect of showing up, being seen in all of my messiness- and being the imperfect human that I am and how showing up constantly activates my fear (my core wound) that is reinforced by my Chiron in Leo in the area of my work (6th house). How do you show up consistently and be seen despite the uncertainty and discomfort? Listen to find out. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/empath-state-of-being/support

I really wanted to talk about what embodiment means. And not only what embodiment means, but what is keeping us from fully stepping into the embodiment of our highest selves, our biggest potential, our calling, however, you want to call it, the biggest question is, what is the gap between where we currently are to our highest embodied self. And so in this gap, and between this gap, there's a lot of things that contribute to what creates a daunting gap, where it becomes very difficult for us to take that leap of faith to make that jump. And it can look like stepping away from the idea of quitting our jobs. It can signify, holding back on starting that business that we've always dreamed of. And so, the gap contains a lot of wounding a lot of pain, fear of rejection, fear of judgment from other people, and us misconstruing other people's truths as if it's the only truth. And so, therefore, it is our truth. And that is, this is one of the biggest mistakes that a lot of empaths and HSP intuitive people make when they take on the energy and the opinions of other people because they haven't really done the work and the deep dive to truly understand what are some of the things that they truly stand by and stand for, ultimately, the way across this gap, and to bridge the gap between where we currently are our existing self at this present moment. Shownotes: [00:38] Michelle talks about what embodiment means. [00:45] She shared about what is keeping us from fully stepping into the embodiment of our highest selves, our biggest potential, our calling, the biggest question is, what is the gap between where we currently are to our highest embodied self? [01:57] She shared about the biggest mistakes that a lot of empaths and HSP intuitive people make when they take on the energy and the opinions of other people. [02:33] What we define as limitations, what we define as things that are getting in the way of us, tapping into our embodied self, and being fully integrated into that embodied self. [12:57] If we think that there is a threat to our survival, or that we're in danger of losing something more than we will gain from it. We become psychologically incentivized to go after and immediately take action, to be motivated to do the thing. [17:04] The way to really help balance out and reach equilibrium with this ebb and flow is to up your threshold of what you choose to tolerate when you're in a state of panic. [19:31] Michelle talks about the key to really balancing is to change and shift your threshold on what makes you panic. [22:13] Before we get into the nitty-gritty of business strategy crafting your offer that's truly authentic and aligned to who you are as a person. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/empath-state-of-being/support

Carol Gavhane is the founder of Asha Blooms, a jewelry brand created to carry the intention to uplift and inspire when we're going through life's biggest challenges. In this episode, we talked about how Asha Blooms was created to provide comfort and address challenges around infertility, and ways we can provide solace to those that are quietly struggling and need emotional support on their fertility journey. She never made jewelry before, with the exception of making some cute little friendship bracelets at summer camp. But a few years ago, she had secondary infertility. She was unable to get pregnant the second time around. Everything about her first baby was so easy. Everything about trying to have her second was extremely difficult. And she tried all of the modalities she could possibly think of to help her be successful in her pregnancy. From fertility, acupuncture, yoga, meditation, clean eating support groups prayer, she tried just about anything she could do. Soon she began to see that in the midst of all these challenges, creating a symbol of possibility was the only tangible piece that felt aligned. Over time, it was more than a good luck charm - it was a true symbol of hope. Through this intentionality and embodying inner strength, she finally was able to have her second child.

In today's episode, I take a deep dive in talking about healing some of our deepest money beliefs. This is a recurring theme that consistently comes up whether we are promoting ourselves with our businesses, and especially working with clients that are trying to build businesses and really step into their calling. One of the biggest struggles that even I myself, deal with time and time again is overcoming limiting beliefs surrounding my relationship with money. In this episode, I wanted to give you a little bit of a background where I started on my journey to healing my money beliefs and the tools I used to overcome these blocks. Shownotes: [00:38] I share limiting beliefs that surround how we think about money, our relationship with money, how we spend, how we give, and where the scarcity mindset might penetrate into our daily lives. [01:22] Money can be a direct mirror reflection, on how we define worthiness if we're deserving of money because money allows us to obtain certain things.

[13:06] I discuss how the law of attraction came into play with part of overcoming money blocks starting with practicing the art of detachment.
