Carl Jung and Astrology: Synchronicity, Zodiac Archetypes, and the Psyche. Jill explores Jung's revolutionary ideas connecting astrology with psychology, meaningful coincidences, zodiac archetypes, planetary symbolism, and the hidden patterns shaping human consciousness. Discover why Jung called astrology an ancient form of psychology and why his ideas continue to influence modern spiritual seekers, astrologers, and depth psychology today. Did Carl Jung believe astrology was real? Why did one of the most influential psychologists of the twentieth century spend decades studying astrology, mythology, dreams, alchemy, and symbolic systems? Professional astrologer, host Jill Jardine, M.A. Counseling/Psychology explores the intriguing relationship between Carl Jung and astrology and uncover how Jung saw the zodiac not as simple fortune-telling, but as a symbolic map of the human psyche. Jung believed astrology contained profound psychological truths and viewed planetary symbols and zodiac archetypes as reflections of the collective unconscious. Jill shares the Jungian psychological aphorisms she has studied throughout her life including the groundbreaking concept of synchronicity — meaningful coincidences that seem mysteriously connected without conventional cause and effect.

Whether you are a student of Jungian psychology, astrology, spirituality, depth psychology, shadow work, dream analysis, or consciousness studies, this episode offers an illuminating exploration into one of the most fascinating intersections of psychology and metaphysical wisdom. Memorable Carl Jung Quotes Discussed: "Astrology consists of symbolic configurations." "We are born at a given moment in a given place and like vintage years of wine we have the qualities of the year and season in which we are born." "The stars are simply indicators of time."

What if the most powerful tool for healing and transformation has been beating inside your chest your whole life? In episode 260 of Joy Found Here, Puran and Susanna Bair, co-founders of iamHeart, reveal how Heart Rhythm Meditation uses the science of breath and the electromagnetic power of the heart to unlock emotional resilience and deepen connection. From Susanna's personal story of hitting rock bottom in a foreign country to Puran's research on how the heart knows things the brain doesn't — this episode will change the way you think about the organ keeping you alive.In This Episode, You Will Learn:(00:00) What Heart Rhythm Meditation is and why most meditations fall short(03:16) How syncing breath and heartbeat creates coherence in body, mind, and spirit (06:02) Why the kind of breath you take matters (13:20) The heart as an emotional archive — from womb memory to lived experience (17:56) Susanna's breakdown in New York and the teacher who changed everything (19:47) Why repressing painful emotions shrinks your capacity for joy (26:05) A simple first step to reconnect with your heart right now (38:48) How HRM builds emotional resilience through vagal tone (40:04) The nine steps of the heart's journey — from dark nights to celebration (54:03) How to access iamHeart's free classes, app, books, and coursesPuran Khan Bair and Susanna Bair are the co-founders of iamHeart, a nonprofit school dedicated to Heart Rhythm Meditation (HRM) — a heart-centered practice they have developed and taught for over 35 years. Puran, an American mystic with a background in electrical engineering and computer science, bridges mysticism with the science of the heart, co-authoring three foundational books — Living from the Heart, Energize Your Heart, and Follow Your Heart — and co-creating the Breath & Heart app. Susanna, a mystic and teacher with a Master's in Counseling Psychology and clinical training at the University of Vienna, has directed iamHeart's mentoring program for over three decades and is a passionate advocate for building a "Culture of the Heart." Together, they serve as successors to Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan of the Universal Sufi tradition and have trained thousands of practitioners worldwide.In this episode, Puran and Susanna Bair walk us through the foundations of Heart Rhythm Meditation, explaining how slow, intentional breathing synchronizes with the heartbeat to create coherence across body, mind, and spirit — with the heart serving as both anchor and emotional archive. Puran adds a scientific lens, sharing that the heart generates a measurable electromagnetic field and responds to distressing stimuli before the brain does. Susanna offers her personal story of arriving in New York, hitting emotional rock bottom, and finding their teacher — the turning point that led to iamHeart. Together they explore why grief and joy must coexist, how HRM builds resilience by strengthening vagal tone, and close on a deeply human note: the heart's deepest desire, they say, is simply to be remembered as having loved.Connect with Puran & Susanna Bair:WebsiteYouTubeInstagramLinkedInFacebookGet Puran & Susanna's books!Susanna's personal FacebookPuran's personal FacebookSusanna's personal LinkedInPuran's personal LinkedInLet's Connect:WebsiteInstagram Hosted on Acast.

Andrew is a psychotherapist, comparative religion scholar, and survivor of high-control Evangelical and Pentecostal Christianity.

During childhood, we move through the world with curiosity and fearlessness of the unknown and near-endings. As we become more institutionalised within the dominant culture, we begin to embody harmful anti-ageing values which are rooted in a crippling fear of the inevitable - death. How then can practicing death in our lives help us re-experience endings and letting go as crucial pathways to living more freely within the wider death-positive ecosystem?   In this episode, we are in conversation with Pamela Rathbun, a Death Doula and Quantum Healing Practitioner, and the creator of Reunion Tour: Making Peace with Your Life. With a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology and over 25 years of experience in education, elder care, and integrative healing, she supports people through life's most meaningful transitions—helping them reconnect with themselves and make peace with their lives. In this episode, Pamela walks us through the expansiveness of death doula work, more as a spiritual journey through the various endings in our lives rather than the physical transition, and the many ways we can experience and practice death in our living lives, regardless of age or stage in life.

In this episode, Carmen J. Croonquist talks about Worth Before Wealth: How Your Self-Concept Is the Key to Soul-Aligned Prosperity. Carmen Croonquist believes that wealth and time freedom should never come at the cost of your soul. She works with established coaches, healers, and visionary entrepreneurs who feel called to make a meaningful impact — yet find themselves held back by invisible money ceilings, self-doubt, or a business model that requires constant hustle. As the creator of the WORTH Code™ framework, Carmen developed a proven methodology that guides conscious leaders through five essential pillars — from waking up their WHY and owning their value, to turning purpose into aligned profit and building systems for ease, flow, and scale. With over 30 years of experience, a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology, and a background coaching executives at Facebook and PricewaterhouseCoopers, Carmen brings both spiritual depth and grounded strategy to every client relationship.

Well friends and podcast listeners, I have met another sister from another mister in my guest today, Dr. Kasi Lacey! I met Dr. Kasi at the Thrive in '25 Conference last summer, and I was like, Dr. Kasi is my person! When we chatted, I really resonated with what she was saying and so much of our corporate war stories were similar, even though Dr. Kasi and I come from different industries. It simply goes to show you that it doesn't really matter the industry. What matters is that we share our stories so that women do not feel alone. When I met Dr. Kasi, I know I felt seen. Like my work with Brave Women at Work, Dr. Kasi focuses a big portion of her work on lifting women up so they can build confidence and advocate for themselves. Once I found that out, I knew she had to be on the show.During our discussion, Dr. Kasi and I chatted about:Confidence is a skill we can build; it's not something we have or don't have.How resilience, grit, and clarity have key roles in building confidence in any area of your life.How boundaries go hand in hand with confidence buildingWe chatted about how Dr. Kasi loves being on stage, and it wasn't something she set out to do.Her upcoming book, The Confidence Comeback: The Psychology of Reclaiming Your Power, Voice, and LeadershipAnd we also touched on her course: Break Free from Self-DoubtHere is more about Dr. Kasi:Dr. Lacey is a nationally recognized psychologist, author, keynote speaker, and confidence coach who empowers women and workplaces to lead with confidence.She blends the science of psychology with actionable leadership strategies to deliver high-impact, transformative keynotes and training that leave audiences inspired and equipped to take action.With 15+ years of experience as a C-suite executive in higher education and a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology, Dr. Lacey is known for her relatable, energizing speaking style and her deep understanding of what it truly takes to cultivate confidence in leadership - especially for women navigating high-pressure roles.Whether she's on stage, on camera, or in a boardroom, Dr. Lacey's mission is clear: help women lead unapologetically and help organizations build thriving, inclusive, and psychologically safe environments.If the Brave Women at Work Podcast has helped you personally or professionally, please share it with a friend, colleague, or family member.

Sonya joined a life drawing class as a participant over 15 years ago. Little did she know at the time that this decision would end up leading her to hosting her own art sessions, taking it in a sexually inclusive and explorative angle, and later become a sex therapist who completed her Master's in her 40s and now runs her own (mostly) virtual private practice. As you can see, she has a unique story to share! In this podcast episode, Sonya and I discuss her exciting journey from start to finish, and share some insights from her lessons learned.  MEET SONYA Sonya JF Barnett is a Registered Psychotherapist, certified sex educator, and lover of trees. She has a varied history in art direction, feminist erotica production, intimacy coordination, and fierce feminist organizing. She has written about, filmed, spoken on, studied, and is a fierce activist for sexual rights, education, and wellbeing. Learn more about Sonya on her website, Instagram, and Psychology Today profiles.  In this episode:  From art into therapy How Sonya became a therapist  Running a private practice What's next for Sonya From art into therapy  Before joining the profession, Sonya had another career working as an art director for design agencies.  After trying out a few life drawing classes, Sonya started hosting her own classes. Later, the classes turned into a larger-than-anticipated community, which had a big focus on sexuality.  Sonya's work with life drawing and the deeper exploration was called "Keyhole Sessions", and it was her hobby alongside her career as an art director. However, over the course of a few years, Keyhole Sessions encouraged Sonya to step into counselling and become a therapist.  How Sonya became a therapist  Sonya played around with the idea of creating something more official and tangible from her work with Keyhole Sessions, which led up to her decision to become a sex therapist.  She got involved in as much sexual therapy education as she could get into at the time, which, compounded over time, led her to become a fully fledged therapist. She completed her undergrad at the University of Toronto.  From there, Sonya completed an online program for her Master's in Counseling Psychology, which was in 2016.  Running a private practice Sonya sees most of her clients virtually, but also offers walk-and-talk sessions outdoors in natural settings. She enjoys using nature-based therapy and wants to help her clients by incorporating the benefits of being outdoors during therapy sessions.  In running her practice, Sonya also uses Jane App to run her systems and complete admin tasks. If you'd like to give it a try, use Jules' code FEARLESS2MO for a two-month discount! Sonya also enjoys experimenting with her schedule in her Canadian private practice. She enjoys finding ways to take care of her practice and clients while also taking care of herself. What's next for Sonya Sonya explains how she has been feeling the lack of community while working as a virtual therapist. While she prefers running a solo private practice, since she sees her clients virtually or for nature-based walk-and-talk therapy, she does miss the community that one has when working with more people. Therefore, one of her upcoming goals is to build a peer group.  Furthermore, Sonya is designing and building out a sex therapist retreat in September 2026!

In this episode, I sit down with the somatic psychotherapist, writer, and teacher Ailey Jolie to explore the evolving intersection of trauma, embodiment, and technology.Ailey shares her journey from eating disorder recovery to psychedelic-assisted research to writing, and her commitment to bringing body-based wisdom into mainstream psychology. She reflects on leaving modeling and medicine after listening to an unmistakable inner “no,” watching her mother make a life-defining decision guided by intuition, and how those early experiences shaped her trust in the body's voice.Ailey's credentials are impeccable. She holds a Master of Counseling Psychology, a Master of Arts in Depth Psychology with an Emphasis in Somatic Studies, and is a graduate of Harvard Medical School's Global Mental Health: Trauma Recovery Masters certificate program. She's a certified Focusing Oriented Therapist (FOT), Compassionate Inquiry Practitioner (CI), Certified Internal Family Systems Therapist (C-IFS), and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP). Furthermore, she has trained to deliver MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for PTSD (MAPS USA) and Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy in a research setting. She brings this wide range of experience to her Substack newsletter Words From This Body.In exploring AI as a kind of “spiritual technologist,” Ailey speaks candidly about her shifting relationship with screens, nervous system regulation, and the need to titrate between in-person depth and digital reach. Together, we discuss dorsal vagal “rest,” the somatic cost of not being believed, why trauma lives differently in female bodies, and the generational work of translating mind-body science — especially through a feminist lens — into something more accessible, embodied, and alive.LinksIn this Body, Ailey's podcast that explores the hidden impact of the unconscious In Body Method, Ailey's 14-week guided journey Words From This Body, Ailey's Substack newsletter

If your child is struggling in school, melting down over homework, falling behind in reading, zoning out in class, or constantly overwhelmed, it can leave you feeling unsure of what to do next. You know they're bright. You know they're trying. But something isn't clicking. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Kimberly Hinman, a licensed psychologist and owner of Bloom Testing, a Kansas City–based practice specializing in high quality psychoeducational, neuropsychological, and autism evaluations for children, teens, and adults. What You'll Hear in This Episode In this conversation, we talk about what it really looks like to pursue clarity when a child is struggling including: The earliest signs a child may be struggling academically, behaviorally, or emotionally The biggest misconceptions about ADHD, autism, and learning difference How to tell the difference between typical development and something that needs evaluation What a psychoeducational evaluation actually is and what it can reveal The difference between school testing and private testing What testing day feels like for a child and how to support anxious or sensitive kid How results translate into real support, including IEPs, 504 plans, and school accommodations What to say to parents who worry about labeling their child First steps to take if you think your child may need testing Dr. Hinman reminds us that struggling in school doesn't mean a child isn't smart- it means we haven't figured out what's getting in the way. A good evaluation doesn't label a child; it explains their experience. Testing isn't about a diagnosis. It's about a roadmap. If you've ever felt that quiet nudge that something feels off, this episode is for you. To make an appointment with Bloom Testing, click here.  About Dr. Himan Originally from upstate New York, Dr. Hinman graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the State University of New York at Geneseo and earned her Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from Columbia University. She relocated to Kansas City in 2020 and has since built strong relationships with local pediatricians, therapists, and schools. As both a clinician and a mom herself, she brings warmth, clarity, and practicality to the families she serves. Dr. Hinman now carries forward the legacy of Bloom Testing's founder, the late Dr. Dawn Bloom, whose compassionate, evidence-based approach made a significant impact in the community. Today, she honors that foundation while expanding the practice's services-including a growing focus on learning differences, ADHD assessments, psychoeducational testing, and comprehensive autism evaluations.

She's grateful to those at FAIR who have given her the opportunity to share her testimony with a wider audience. Jennifer Roach Lees holds a Master in Divinity as well as a Masters in Counseling Psychology. She is a licensed mental health therapist and lives in Utah.
