EP #324 - Astrology as a Tool for Self-Discovery - An Interview with astrologist and author, Catherine Gerdes As many of you know I have been doing shadow work with clients as well as in my personal life. And my guest for this episode of Empowering Chats captures this same theme in her book, Astrology and Shadow Work. I am excited to welcome author and astrologist, Catherine Gerdes to this powerful chat. When I opened Catherine's book, I was caught by this aspect of combining shadow work with astrology. According to Catherine we are all born with a cosmic blueprint which when followed or lived allows us to come back home to ourselves and connect to the essence of who we are. In her book, Catherine presents a detailed exploration of the twelve sun signs and their shadow aspects. She guides us, the reader by showing us how to turn our birth chart into a practical road map for self-discovery. Catherine and I have a fascinating chat about how astrology and shadow work can bridge the gap between your astrological wiring and your well-being.

What do you think of this episode? Do you have any topics you'd like me to cover?First love can be immensely powerful; a profound and unforgetable journey that shapes who we are. It teaches us about intimacy, boundaries and heartbreak and as parents it challenges all of our skills and perceptions.In this episode my daughter, Phoebe, offered to talk about her first experience; what it taught her, how it changed her, and what she thinks adults need to understand to support their teen; particularly one who is same sex attracted. What I learned from our experience is that the most important thing is knowing your child is in a kind, honest, loving relationship. Phoebe reflects on the problems with the long-distance aspect of her relationship, the struggle to gain assertiveness, and the eventual breakup. The conversation also touches on the role of social media, the importance of closure, and the growth Phoebe experienced as a result of her experiences. TOP BREAK-UP TIPS:Provide time and space for your teenager to process the breakup without pressure.Avoid making judgmental comments about the ex-partner or trying to convince the teenager they are "better off".Support your teenager in finding healthy coping mechanisms, such as focusing on personal goals and interests.Encourage your teenager to set boundaries with the ex-partner, including unfollowing on social media, if needed for the healing process.Recognize that the healing process after a first love breakup can take significant time, often 6 months or more.Support the showThank you so much for your support.

382 Images of Ourselves    It's a sad fact of life that we internalize narratives that are made for us at an early age, we are told we are too emotional, that we're too bossy, that we're too big, and if we do not actively try to reframe or unlearn these narratives made for us, we are forced to live out a story someone else made up for us. It is our duty to reach out and take the power back for ourselves, to wield the pen as a mighty sword, and write our own narrative for the sake of our growth and inner peace.  In today's episode Sarah Elkins and Lindsey A. Lee, discuss the importance of becoming the person you want to be, showing up for yourself and those you love, and how vital it is for our growth as human beings to sit with the narratives we have about ourselves and decide for ourselves if these narratives are our own genuine thoughts and beliefs or if they were a planted idea.   Highlights Is the person you became, the person you wanted to be or the person you needed to be to survive? How do you show up for the people who need you? What stories and perceptions from others are you still holding onto?   Quotes “My greatest performance was pretending to be okay.” “There was emotion in my home, it just didn't look like mine. It looked like yelling, fighting, and shutdowns.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, The thing that I want to ask you, you remember every time at the end of these conversations I'm asking you to consider something for yourselves. My dear friend Netty Owens asked me one time: What is the object in your image of yourself that you would like to hold on to? And I talked about the Hanukkiah, the Jewish candelabra that we use for Hanukkah. And there's one candle that's separated from the rest, so there are 9 holders, 8 for the 8 nights of Hanukkah, and the one is the leader candle or the Shamash. That candle is the one we light first, we say the first prayer and then we light all the other candles with that candle. And I like to think of myself as a Shamash, someone who knows that by lighting other candles I am in no way diminishing my own light and that when we light other candles we bring more light. And for that brief moment when we connect like Lindsey and I did, for two and a half minutes our flames were together which made that an entwined hyper bright flame, even for that one moment, and it changes the energy and dynamic in a room. Guaranteed. So I am asking you listeners, what is your image of yourself? Just like Lindsey wants to be radiant and exudes that radiance when she owns that language, what will be yours? And, as always, thank you for listening.    Mentioned in This Episode The Four Agreements   About Lindsay Lindsay is a wellness mentor, educator, and founder of Honeydew U—a lifestyle platform helping women embrace authenticity, align with purpose, and heal through spiritual growth.

As well as her podcast Honey, Do You!   About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana.

In this heartfelt and vulnerable episode, Lisa Graft — creative storyteller, mom, speaker, Marketing Coordinator at Thrivent and Executive Director of Roots & Wings — opens up about her struggle with people pleasing and how it kept her from living authentically. With raw honesty and deep reflection, Lisa walks us through the pressures of public storytelling, the exhaustion of trying to be everything for everyone, and the breakthrough moment when she realized she had a boundary problem, not a million different problems. Using powerful metaphors like being a Lazy Susan and a circus performer, Lisa paints a picture many women will find deeply relatable — one of hiding, burnout, and longing for more. Her story reminds us that it's never too late to rediscover who we are and set boundaries that protect the person God made us to be. Lisa also serves as Vice President of the Roots & Wings Board, a nonprofit dedicated to helping women pursue legacy through fearless generosity in their time, talent, and treasure.

In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to get stuck in a rut, and often, the cause of this stagnation lies in an unexamined part of ourselves—the shadow self. This concept, introduced by Carl Jung, refers to the hidden aspects of our personality that we repress, but understanding and integrating these parts is crucial for overcoming barriers to growth. In this video, we'll explore how the shadow self can manifest in poor decision-making, relationship conflicts, and stress, and we'll discuss how shadow work can lead to greater self-awareness and emotional well-being.

381 Rock N Roll Authenticity and living your life in a way that reflects who you are and how you hope to be perceived is something we all strive for, however it can be easy to forget that change and growth is a constant changing cycle, even from moment we are allowed and expected to invent who we are. In this episode Sarah Elkins ruminates on when she joined the rock band she is apart of and how it has helped shape her authentic self as well as how important fun and joy is to the true sense self.    Highlights What is authenticity to you? How do you portray your authentic self? Untangling core values from the actions we believe are authentic. How do you want to be known and remembered for?  There is no permanent state of the self.    Quotes “I was still not rock and roll. I was wearing a persona on stage because it was fun not because it felt like me.” “All that would have been missed if I had decided that my authentic self was not rock and roll.” “What opportunities have you dismissed because they didn't feel authentic?”   About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

From remixing for pop icons like Ariana Grande to rocking global stages, Michael Gazzo seemingly had it all—until he realized external success couldn't fill the void within. Michael Gazzo bravely opens up about the hidden battles behind the fame: the crushing burnout, the allure of the party scene, and the relentless pursuit of validation from the outside world. He shares deeply personal turning points, including a transformative silent meditation retreat in Hong Kong and confronting his deepest fears during days-long darkness retreats.  Through these intense experiences, Michael Gazzo learned the profound power of pausing, looking inward, and finally healing the wounds he'd been running from since childhood. Become the best husband and leader you can: www.thedadedge.com/mastermind In this raw and insightful conversation, we dig into: The honest realities of chasing your dreams and the unexpected emptiness that can follow. The courage it takes to confront long-buried childhood wounds and begin the journey of healing. The transformative power of authentic brotherhood and finding support in unexpected places. Michael Gazzo's perspective on fatherhood and the importance of vulnerability in raising the next generation. Practical insights on creating meaningful and lasting change, both in your own life and for your children.

I was always intrigued by the premise behind “Love Is Blind” - a reality show where singles try to find a match and fall in love -- without ever seeing each other face-to-face, as emotional connection attempts to conquer physical attraction. Full disclosure, I don't watch TV so I haven't seen an episode but still, the notion of moving beyond physical appearance and chemistry feels simultaneously intriguing and super risky.  Then @Drew Taylor Cohen caught my attention with a post detailing her experience when building her @Bumble profile strictly on words stating her chosen values. NO perfect selfies.NO predictable prompts that yield, “I love to hike, travel, cook, walk my dogs and go wine tasting.” NO eggplant emojis. Just the personal values she attempts to live by. (Oh, and one picture of her at a distance to prevent being flagged as a bot). @Drew Taylor Cohen is an Impact Consultant and Values Coach, so we talked about how to identify our own chosen values and distinguish them from our beliefs and identities (something I rooted myself in historically). We also discuss the challenges of seeking validation from others while navigating personal choices and the need for self-awareness and the evolving nature of values as individuals grow and change.What an awesome conversation especially as I consider something similar in my own dating journey. Anyone relate? Join the conversation…Guest Bio:Trained in holistic, neurodiverse and values-aligned coaching techniques, Drew helps singles and couples break old patterns and align their values to find lasting love.Dedicated to finding love that felt soul-aligned and safe, she set out on a personal development journey that led her to discover her values and trust her needs and desires. What did she do next? She created a dating profile with no photos, just screenshots of her values and how she envisioned them being shared in an aligned partnership. And it worked! Her fiancé and her just celebrated four years of swiping right on the things that matter most.Through 1:1 coaching, she now helps her clients rewrite their own values-aligned love story and clarify what truly matters in love. Her aligned love method is about prioritizing your non-negotiables and curating love that mirrors the truth of who you already are.She also developed and leads the Live Authentically program. This workshop and accompanying workbook uses a proven framework that guides participants to explore who you are, discover your chosen values and pursue an aligned life.When she's not helping people align their relationships and life to their values, she's supporting purpose-driven organizations as a freelance impact consultant.

I am so excited for you to listen to my conversation with Ainslie MacLeod, a renowned past-life psychic, author, and spiritual teacher. Ainslie shares his profound insights into the concept of past lives and how they shape our current existence.   According to Ainslie, humans reincarnate multiple times to gain growth, experience, and learn all aspects of being human. Each lifetime builds upon the lessons and experiences of previous lives, shaping our present selves.   He introduced the concept of soul types, which are characteristics and traits we carry from past lives. He believes that understanding our soul type is crucial to realizing our purpose in this life.   Ainslie also provided a mini-reading for me, revealing my soul types and how they influence my life, including my work as a podcaster. He identified my soul age and the past life issues I am currently working through. It was absolutely fascinating!   If you are interested in learning about your own past lives or seeking guidance on your spiritual journey, I highly recommend checking out Ainslie's website and his books for a deeper dive into the world of past life exploration.   Visit www.ainsliemacleod.com or www.soulworld.com  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ainslie_macleod/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ainsliemmacleod/    If you enjoyed this episode, please check out my book, "Alive & Well: Awakening to Your Angels," available on Amazon.   Don't forget to like, follow, and leave a comment!

In this episode of My Simplified Life, host Michelle Glogovac dives into the powerful shift that happens as we grow older—we don't stop caring, we just start caring about the right things. Michelle opens up about redefining priorities, from family and health to activism and authentic living. She shares honest reflections on showing up with integrity, especially in the world of social media, and how setting boundaries is a form of self-respect. Whether you're navigating burnout, feeling overwhelmed, or questioning your purpose, this conversation will inspire you to align your actions with what truly matters. What We're Talking About Finding your voice often comes with age and experience. Caring is about prioritizing what truly matters to you. Family time can take precedence over a clean house. Activism is more important than seeking approval. Health should be prioritized over hustle and busyness. Integrity in social media is crucial for authenticity. We care deeply about the issues that matter to us. Being selective with energy is essential for well-being. Caring is a form of rebellion against societal expectations.
