Walk On Podcast

The first half of 2025 has felt like quite the shit show, but June will feel like a new beginning. This month, we'll be further expanding themes of "Me VS We," balance, authenticity, healing, and liberation. I hope you fall more in love with yourself this month. I hope you see growth wherever you need to.

I'm overwhelmed by the state of the world. The daily deluge of evil in the news is taking a toll. The answer to how to continue fighting the good fight when hope feels so far out of sight is living a holistic life. Create community, feel your feelings, take care of yourself, and love like your life depends on it. Don't normalize evil, fight it with everything you've got. Though we can't see proof of it right now, we are building a better world. I know it in my bones.

May 2025 is going to have a lot more forward momentum than any month so far this year, as all planets (with the exception of Pluto) are finally moving direct. There is an energized, activated, and focused vibe to this month. Take to the streets, call your representatives, confess your crush, apply for that dream job. This month, there is magic to be made. Ask for what you want, and then let yourself have it!

Curiosity is the first step towards healing. Asking yourself questions like "Where is this coming from?" or even "What am I feeling right now?" Or "When was the first time I felt this way?" can open your life up in the most beautiful and unexpected ways. Unpack, analyze, and research your own experience. Question everything.

Astrology is the Tits! Welcome to a new segment on the Walk On Podcast: Monthly Astro Reports!! Tracking astrology has been a hobby of mine for many years now, and I've been a consulting astrologer for the past five years. I think astrology is one of the most powerful tools for self-development we have available to us and I am so passionate about making the esoteric accessible. April 2025 will feel a lot lighter than March, with a lot more forward motion. Allow the energy to propel you forward into a more equitable, more loving, more cooperative, more vulnerable, and more authentic life.

On the journey of healing, eventually we are lead to a place of self-protection. This is good! But what if we start attracting people who deserve to experience the fullness of our open hearts? How do we learn to put down the walls we've built and stop looking over our shoulders for the other shoe to drop? What if hyper-vigilance has stopped serving us? How do we walk on?

The White-Supremacist-Capitalist-Cishetero-Patriarchy has created an environment where we are expected to suppress our every feeling. This leads to communication breakdowns and unrealistic expectations. When we are expected to work until we die, no matter what, it doesn't leave much room to explore ourselves and each other with curiosity. The way we are controlled leads us to try and control one another. What would happen if we just... released the pressure? What if we were to Just Be?

A brave space is somewhere you can tell and receive the truth with grace, love, and radical acceptance. Effective communication could change the world, but it takes courage, trust, and self-regulation to put it into practice. Existing in a brave space can be scary and challenging, but it's the only way to cultivate intimacy and belonging--and that's the most healing thing in the world.

Pluto has been in Capricorn for the last 16 years. We've been facing wounds around oppression, control, and greed. Now that Pluto has moved into revolutionary Aquarius, we're moving into a cycle of liberation, nonconformity, and open-mindedness. Blessed be. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

Complex PTSD can block us from being able to see things clearly. It can cloud the truth of the present like a mist. Clarity is possible, it just takes practice, patience, self-awareness, and a little radical self-acceptance. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

DARVO is a tactic used by psychological abusers and fascist regimes alike. It stands for deny, attack, reverse victim, and offender. It protects offenders of harm from ever having to take accountability and it confuses both their victims and people outside the situation from being able to place responsibility where it belongs. Calling it what it is is the first step towards healing. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

Authenticity can be difficult when so much of our truest self is buried under so much trauma. The expectations of others and feeling like we have to earn love can turn us into a diminished version of ourselves. Thankfully, healing work isn't about building something new, it's about uncovering what has always been there. All you have to do is remember. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

Betrayal is one of the most difficult experiences to heal from. Broken trust is tough to rebuild. It can be so easy to let the trauma of being betrayed color your perception of the rest of your life. But healing this wound can unlock the roots of wounds so old you may not even remember life before them. You CAN make it through to the other side--the only question is How? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

Overthinking comes from an evolutionary impulse to recognize patterns and keep us safe, but it can quickly become the kind of coping mechanism that manifests as self-sabotage. Getting out of your head, reprogramming your mind to be more loving, and more positive, and getting into your body can lead to the most gorgeous healing. You could feel better than you ever imagined. Start today! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

In today's world, run by unhealed generational trauma and systemic abuse, we are discouraged from feeling our feelings, almost immediately, and at every turn. This causes feelings of being overwhelmed, unconscious patterns of harm due to unmet needs, and isolation. Feeling the infinite array of human emotions is liberating, it's empowering, and it's the most direct and loving way to finally get your needs met. It may seem like an impossible feat, but you can get there, all you have to do is Notice. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

So much harm is caused by words not matching intentions not matching actions. It can feel like deception when someone doesn't turn out to be who they claim to be. Integrity is about self-awareness, and walking your talk. It doesn't matter what you meant to do, it matters what you did. Afterall, actions speak louder than words. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

The path of healing is dark and full of terrors. Facing your shadow is not for the faint of heart. The liminal space between the old leaving and the new beginning is lonely, heavy with doubt, and seems to last forever. But, one day, you'll break through, and you'll look around at a life that is unrecognizably beautiful and you'll think, with awe, with profound gratitude, "Healing is a miracle." --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

When you're traumatized and accustomed to dissociating, it can feel like you're moving through life as a mist; ungrounded, unfocused, and just along for the ride. A big step on the path of recovery is establishing a daily practice that allows you to get grounded in your body, organized in your routines, and engaged in loving self-care. It can take you from unsatisfied to happy, shame-full to confident, and from simply surviving, to thriving. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

When receiving love as a child is contingent on living up to someone else's expectations, you might grow into an adult who lacks a sense of self. This can lead to codependent behavior in relationships, an inability to be authentic, and a big fear of rejection. Nurturing a sense of self enables you to be confident, resilient, and to act from a place of joy instead of fear. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

Death scares most of us so much that we resist even the smallest, most superficial change in our lives. But what if these little changes were supposed to be surrendered to, as practice for The Big One? If you let yourself grow, if you let yourself change, if you let parts of you die, what kind of you could you create? What kind of reality could you dream of? How radically could things shift? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

Receiving love can feel even more vulnerable than giving it. For those who people-please as a means of self-protection, it can feel downright dangerous. That doesn't mean it isn't necessary, rewarding, and deeply healing. If we could all learn how to let ourselves be loved, it could change everything. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

The next few years are going to be influenced by eclipses in Libra and Aries, also known as the "Me vs. We" axis. This will be a time of unpacking where we tend to overgive and where we take too much. All relationships benefit from a little balance, even the ones we have with ourselves. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

The past holds the keys to our future. Looking back can give us clues to who we've become and who we're becoming. The ways our wounds manifest as patterns of behavior and proof of our own resilience can be found by simply looking back. Where have you been? Where are you going? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

In today's late-stage catialist nightmare, where we're all expected to give 100% One Hundred Percent of the time, a break can feel like a luxury most of us can't afford. But what if it's the thing we need most in the world? What if the pause is the birthplace of regeneration, revolution, inspiration, intention, wisdom and rest? What if the pause is the main ingredient in thriving? How would you change how you move through the world? How would you embrace The Pause? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

Those of us that grew up in chaotic households may have developed certain coping mechanisms to help us survive. As we grew older, these traits may have started to hurt us more than they helped. These are our default settings. They are just a program. We didn't have a say about what was initially downloaded into our minds, but we do have a say in what we download now. What are your default settings? How are you reprogramming yourself? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

Being tolerant of the intolerant is the way we have been told to behave by those trying to High-Road anyone upset about their own oppression. It's a kind of gaslighting that keeps the good quiet and the bad loud as hell. Philosopher Karp Popper believed that being tolerant of the intolerant will do nothing more than ensure the destruction of tolerance itself. Be intolerant to intolerance, however, and we will all be OK. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

We've all given someone advice that they didn't take well and we've all not taken advice someone else gave us very well, even if we knew it was coming from a good place. A wise person learns when to talk and when to listen, or at the very least when to ask which would be more beneficial for the other person at that moment. On the other hand, the ego's defensiveness will always be a barrier to healing and growing. We all hold unique wisdom gained from our individual lived experiences, how much could we gain from being open to learning from one another? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

Living with intention means familiarizing ourselves with the ways we project our trauma onto present situations, spiral into anticipating the worst case scenario, even when it's not happening. It's about letting the present moment unfold without expectations. If we all made an effort to be more intentional as we move through the world, what could it become? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

The stories we tell ourselves are so much more powerful than we realize. They can make a sweet moment sour, and a sour moment bitter. They can spiral a bad experience into a bad life. We can't change the past and the ways we have been hurt, but we can empower ourselves to write our own stories with intention, compassion, and self love. If you could put pen to paper and tell your truth, what would you say? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

We are all conditioned to prioritize the negative over the positive. We'll dwell on an insult way longer than we will a compliment, we'll remember the bad experiences with the reverence of truth and the positive as some kind of fluke. What would life look like if you could reprogram your brain to accentuate the positive? How beautiful could life become? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

Everyone is special. There has never been another you. Are you familiar with the divine light shining from within you? Have you stopped to feel the resonance of your own frequency? Everyone has gifts, struggles, and stories to tell. When we feel secure in our own light, we stop feeling the need to extinguish everyone else's. Tap into your own abundance. Give yourself permission to glow. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

Fear is just the body's way of trying to keep itself out of danger, but it isn't always a reliable narrator. The prospect of change–even good change–can trigger big fear reactions that, if taken too seriously, can hold us back from our own highest good. We can't banish fear (we aren't supposed to) but we can choose to transcend fear, moment by moment, by feeling the fear and doing it anyway. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

To live is to suffer–that is the bitter truth that accompanies the sweetness of being alive. Our reaction to suffering is more important than the suffering itself; does suffering soften you, or does it close you off? When we are unconscious, we often find ourselves asking “Why is this happening to me?!!” Once we begin healing, the question changes to “What is this teaching me?” And from that shift, everything shifts. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

Asking for help can be extremely uncomfortable, because of how vulnerable it requires you to be. This can be especially difficult for people who developed hypervigilance during childhood because of neglect or abuse. Being able to receive help is just as important as being able to give it, and a balance of both is fertile ground for healthy intimate relationships, lasting community, and deep internal healing.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

Building community starts with yourself. Finding your soul family is a practice rooted in the soil of discernment. Discernment grows out of facing the ego's natural fear of endings. If you aren't empowered to leave behind what isn't for you, how will you ever find what is? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

The political is personal, the personal is political, and we are all on a spiritual trip (whether you realize it or not). Nothing exists in a vacuum. In order for activism to flow out from the heart space, it needs to be intersectional. In order for healing to be thorough, it needs to be holistic. After all, everything is everything. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

The way we are taught the concept of discipline is rooted in egoic notions of forcing yourself into better ways of being. But what if discipline had more to do with heeding our intuition, listening to our bodies, practicing good self-care, and setting realistic expectations? Embracing a softer, non-linear approach to discipline creates an environment that functions from a place of gentleness, compassion, and surrender. And that is the secret to creating sustainable discipline in your life. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

We are conditioned to believe that life should be hard. This leads us to put up with being less-than-happy for far longer than is good for us. There is a certain amount of difficulty and suffering that is unavoidable, as it is a natural aspect of being alive–but what would happen if we were to prioritize ease? What if the answer isn't to grit our teeth and grind harder, but to turn up the volume on our intuition, to rest when our body says rest, and to lean into working from the effortless bliss of the flow state? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

The practice of political internal self-reflection is just as important as external activism. Tackling your implicit bias is a meditation on becoming more loving. Learning requires being open to being wrong, to be willing to let in new information. This current moment in history is (once again) demonstrating how detrimental to progress the human ego can be. Unpack your conditioning, exude radical acceptance, and like a drop in the ocean, you can become the change you wish to see in the world. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

Living at this moment in history, where capitalism demands unsustainable productivity at greater and greater cost to humanity and our planet, burnout is inevitable. Navigating burnout requires self-care, self-compassion, and the understanding that it is a perfectly reasonable reaction to an unreasonable situation. Under a system that benefits from our suffering, rest is revolutionary. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

Surrender gives way to bliss, acceptance, inner peace, and letting your intuition guide you along the path of your highest good, but it isn't easy. Get into the habit of trusting the timing of your life. Everything is unfolding to create who you are becoming.

When you haven't learned discernment and you're in the head space of being wound so tightly that you take everything personally, hell can definitely be other people. But when you learn to let go of the desire to control others, when you realize you can only control yourself, and when you learn to discern where the love is, heaven can be other people, too. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

Trying to avoid the discomfort of facing the consequences of our own actions is what drives a lot of toxic patterns of behavior. This impulse is also what blocks us from being able to learn from our mistakes so that we can stop repeating them. There are few things more miserable than being stuck in a cycle that's making you miserable. What if consequences are good, actually? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

When you become accustomed to chaos you either embrace it through managing the chaos of others, or creating chaos yourself (and more often than not, some combination of the two). Both modes of operating only serve to create more chaos. If what you're seeking is peace, you gotta get off the wheel, get those feet on the ground, and find a new way of being–one that's rooted in love. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

Authenticity requires a certain amount of ego-shedding. Identifying too hard with the roles we play in life (many of which are forced upon us through our conditioning) is a good way to lose the plot of the story of our lives as individuals. Sometimes its important to ask ourselves “Am I living, or am I LARPing?” --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/britt-cannon/support

It's true that healing isn't linear–it's messy, at times ugly, and heartbreaking; the struggle to feel better can feel like an obstacle course fraught with one's own fears and insecurities. But there is an exponential trend to the path to healing; meaning there are some depths of despair and hardship experiences that the tools of self-love and resilience will protect you from ever needing to revisit again. And what a gift that is. If nothing else, there's always the light of a clear blue morning. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/britt-cannon/support

Being seen can feel uncomfortably vulnerable and deeply triggering–especially if it's the first time you've ever felt it. Realizing how long you've gone without such a simple human need can uncover wounds that are older than memories. It also leaves you open to more negativity, judgment, and rejection. It's ok. If you can lean into the discomfort, being seen can be incredibly liberating. It can lead to uncharted levels of self-love and confidence. So go forth! And be seen! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/britt-cannon/support

Surrender is an active process, but progress is ever-unfolding. Evolution can be autonomic if you simply surrender to your own expansion.

Holding a grudge is often seen as a negative thing, but my grudges have always served me very well. For the codependent people-pleaser who cares too much what people think about them, a grudge can be a gateway to healthy boundaries, self-care, self-preservation, self-love, and walking away from what's not meant to stay.

The ego is always protecting itself from death. One full-proof way of doing that is by projecting our internal issues outward.

“It's Never Personal” is a mantra that has helped me be more compassionate, more patient, and less conflict-averse–it's also given me the awareness to walk on when someone's struggle with themselves is causing harm to me without needing to hold onto resentment or blame. Everyone is fighting a war with themselves, everyone is living with their own wounds–some people are more destructive than others, but keep in mind...it's truly never personal. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/britt-cannon/support
