Mercury retrograde gets a bad rap, but it's actually a great opportunity for cleaning up and cleaning out. The energy supports you to clean stuff up. Instead of working against it, we use this shadowy time to clean up the emotional clutter in our own shadow and subconscious. It's brilliant! This week, Danielle shares two decades of Mercury retrograde experiments (including surveying cell phone customer service reps about their ticket volume—spoiler: it spikes). She talks about why Instagram girlies who freak out about Mercury retrograde are missing the point. This cosmic cleanup period is prime time for letting go and slowing down, to purge and clean out your drawers. Crunchy emotions? Feel them and let them pass through. Be mindful about how we communicate. We can use this energy to create more space and clarity in our lives. In this episode: 2025 Mercury retrograde dates (including the shadow periods that nobody talks about—one to two weeks before and after retrograde) What it actually means (and why it's not all chaos) A spiritual perspective on why the “backwards” energy is actually a blessing Why merc retro is the best time for letting go—emotionally, physically, digitally Danielle's “things I will NOT do” list: signing contracts, booking flights, making travel plans Why she burns her journals every 3 to 5 years The Gayatri Mantra as a vibrational tool for this season MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Download the FREE Astro + Events calendar in the Danielle LaPorte network on Mighty Networks Write + Burn Ritual inside the Heart Centered Collective REGULATE TO RELATE Masterclass—balance your nervous system to heal your relationships Infusion Sessions—One-on-one prosperity consciousness mentoring with Danielle Follow + Subscribe to Danielle on Substack for weekly essays + more

"Crunchy" has another meaning when in the context of healthier living! It's a word you might adopt to describe your choice to invest in cleaner products and foods for your body, but it's not always possible to do it perfectly! Sharing encouragement about this imperfect journey towards cleaner living (or being kinda crunchy!) is Jessica Kay, a registered nurse, wife, and mom who posts about this on her Instagram page @imperfectlyholisticmom. Be encouraged - you don't have to give up the mini donuts!

Today, we're talking about a crunchy mom influencer, known as "Rose Uncharted" on Instagram, who recently deconstructed from Christianity and started sharing New Age ideas and beliefs. This is not to shame her but rather to draw attention to the false teachings and bad theologies that can influence even the most scrupulous people. We go over her past posts about motherhood and health and detail how she slowly spiraled into the unbiblical idea of a "Christ consciousness." Of course, this idea has been around for decades, but that doesn't stop people from claiming that it's a new idea. And we refute all of these ideas of a "Christ consciousness" with the truth found in scripture. This episode was sponsored by Olive, the app built for the MAHA movement.
