On this Episode, I discuss the notion of Timelines - how we can shift Timelines and what is needed to do so successfully! In my experience, it can be broken down very easily: 1) We have to feel safe/reduce fear of shifting timelines 2) There is a loud and obvious origin point/catalyst that prompts us into action 3) We need to have a consistent environment (and love from relationships/community) that supports this new timeline so that we do not revert back to an old version of ourselves. Bonus Point - actively reminding ourselves that we are in a new timeline to acknowledge the work and sacrifice we have put into ourselves and the life we are creating. We go into deeper detail into ALL of this in this Episode!! ***
On this Episode, I discuss 3 Easy Tips on how you can work with Venus in your Natal Chart to enhance your Beauty, Fame, and Intimate Relationships. This showcases the work I do with my own clients; and, brings me to my announcement of a new product I am launching!

This written report, by yours truly, will go through each month to let you know peak periods of when you can expect boons and blessings from Venus, and when you need to be aware of delays or times of unease and conflict. ***For the entirety of Libra Season (2024), this offering will be on Sale as my own personal token of gratitude to Venus!

On this Episode, I discuss doing "the work" in relation to our Soul's Purpose in a Physical, Mental, and Spiritual manner. I am a big believer in working smarter, not harder. When we build new habits that align with our soul's purpose, we can interlace them so they work for us while saving time. How can you commit time, even five minutes a day, to a physical/mental/spiritual habit that will drastically improve your life? ***
On this Episode, I am answering the most common questions I receive surrounding Mercury Retrograde. Often times, due to Pop Astrology and the influence of Social Media, the Collective can receive spotty or inaccurate information on many topics in the field of Astrology. Given that Mercury Retrogrades happen regularly throughout the year, being well equipped to handle these transits will always serve you well. ***
On this Episode, we will be discussing the Mars-Uranus Conjunction in Taurus which will be exactly conjunct on Monday, July 15/2024 at approximately 9:49AM EST. This conjunction will be happening at 26 degrees of Taurus. Thus, if you have prominent Fixed Sign placements in and around 23-29 degrees, you will be feeling this aspect very loudly (if you haven't already been since June.) *** Some questions to ask yourself to further understand this conjunction: 1) Which Houses in my Natal Chart are ruled by Taurus, Aries, and Scorpio? How is this Martian and Uranian energy currently manifesting in my life (I.e. anger, frustration, innovation, conflict management, being forced to slow down, injury, illness, breakthroughs, etc.) 2) Where are you currently being asked to slow down? 3) Where were you in life during the last Mars-Uranus conjunction (August 2022)? What themes are repeating themselves? How much have you grown since then? Be sure to honour that growth as proof that you are further ahead than you may think. ***
Welcome back to Still Water Alchemy: The Podcast!! On today's episode, I am giving you a greater introspection on me, my /Origin Story/, and how I came to be up until this present moment. Each one of our stories is unique and helps us to connect with one another. And, in order to know where we are going it often times helps to reflect and understand where we came from. In my experience, especially when working with clients, we have already endured many hardships just at different "levels." Processing this, integrating this, and having faith on the overall process helps when we are at a crossroads on major period of contraction.
