You Tube-@billholt8792Neptune Retrograde in Aries for a Pisces Sun (Born March 2, 1954)Since Grandpa Bill is a Pisces Sun, Neptune is my traditional ruling planet. This means Neptune's movements and aspects are particularly potent for myself, affecting my core identity, intuition, and spiritual path in a very direct way.Neptune in Aries, and especially its retrograde motion, will bring a powerful focus on how GB initiates action, assert myself, and define my personal identity (Aries energy), viewed through the lens of my spiritual and intuitive Pisces nature.Understanding the Impact:For a Pisces Sun, Neptune Retrograde in Aries is less about "disillusionment" in the negative sense, and more about a deep, internal refinement of my personal will and spiritual courage.Re-evaluating Self-Assertion and Boundaries: As a Pisces, I naturally tend to be empathetic, compassionate, and sometimes permeable to others' energies. Aries, in contrast, is about bold self-assertion and clear boundaries. This retrograde asks me to go inward and assess where I might be dissolving my own needs or identity in favor of others. It's a call to understand what truly constitutes my individual desire and how to express it with integrity, without losing my compassionate essence.Clarifying My Spiritual Path and Inspired Action: Neptune in Aries encourages Grandpa Bill to take inspired action – to put my dreams and spiritual impulses into motion. During the retrograde, I'm invited to discern which of these inspirations are truly from my highest self versus external influences or fleeting desires. It's a powerful period for refining my spiritual courage and understanding how my intuitive insights can fuel direct, authentic action.Healing Wounds of Self-Expression: With Neptune in Aries, and Chiron (the wounded healer) also in Aries (and going retrograde later in July), this period can bring up old wounds related to asserting my identity, standing up for myself, or trusting my own impulses. As a Pisces, I might have absorbed energies or beliefs that limited my self-expression. This retrograde offers a chance to dissolve these old patterns and heal my sense of personal empowerment.Refining My Dreams and Idealism: While Pisces is known for its idealism, Neptune Retrograde in Aries asks me to ground those ideals in personal truth. I  might be shedding illusions about what "courage" or "leadership" means for me, moving beyond collective fantasies to discover my unique way of embodying these qualities.A Deeper Connection to Inner Guidance: As Neptune is my ruler, this retrograde can intensify my intuitive abilities, but in a way that encourages internal validation. I'll be prompted to trust my inner compass more deeply, especially when it comes to initiating new ventures or standing up for myself. #NeptuneRetrograde, #AriesRetrograde, #PiscesSun, #July2025Astrology, #SpiritualRefinement, #InnerCourage, #SelfDiscovery, #AstrologyByBirthChart, #NatalChart, #NeptuneInAries, #HealingJourney, #AuthenticSelf, #IntuitiveGuidance,Creative Solutions for Holistic Healthcare

Text us here...In this raw and deeply personal episode, I share a story that stopped me in my tracks... being called an anti-Semite for standing up for what I believe in and for speaking up against Alligator Alcatraz. But instead of backing down, I want to lean into truth, integrity, and my own values.This is a reflection on the legacy of a woman who embodied true confidence: the unforgettable Hat Lady. From personal heartbreak to profound life lessons about generosity, resilience, and living in alignment with your values, this episode is a timely reminder that confidence isn't about being understood; it's about knowing who you are.As a life coach for women, I don't always get it right. I want to let others know it is okay to stand for what they believe. You will always have people who criticize you, attack you for your beliefs, and write you off as a crazy woman. Will it be easy? No... in the end, attacks say more about the other person than it does about you.That is their choice. Your choice is to stay true to your values. This is an invitation to join a supportive community of purpose-driven entrepreneurs who are creating an impact in the world.A mastermind is a community of peers who exchange ideas, provide support, and offer sound advice for running a successful business.Join the Confident YOU Mastermind now at https://goconfidentlyservices.myflodesk.com/confidentyoumastermindSupport the showOther helpful resources for you: For more about me and what I do, check out my website.

Happy Fourth of July! In episode 211 - Let Freedom Ring, I'm diving into the idea of freedom—but not just the kind we celebrate with flags and fireworks. I'm talking about personal, emotional, and spiritual freedom—the kind that empowers you to show up in your mission and your life with authenticity and agency. Whether you're preparing to serve, currently on your mission, just returned, or supporting someone you love, this episode is an invitation to reflect on where you might feel stuck, and how to reclaim the power that is already yours. I share how freedom is more than just a mindset—it's a gift from God and something we can practice every day by choosing our thoughts, owning our emotions, and letting others do the same. I also talk about how Hamilton, my patriotic grandparents, and one of my early blog posts inspired this reflection. This episode is full of real talk, scriptural insights, and reminders that you have so much more influence over your life experience than you might think. So if you've been feeling like you've lost a little bit of your spark or sense of control—this episode is for you. Let's let freedom ring in our hearts, our minds, and the way we show up every day. I'm cheering you on. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did.

For years, I was doing everything “right”—checking the boxes, building a life that looked good on the outside—yet deep down, something felt off. I didn't realize it at the time, but I was betraying my Authentic Self, letting old patterns and my Inner Critic run the show. In this episode, I'm sharing the deeper truth about what it really means to live your true calling—not by fixing your life, but by unhooking from the thoughts, roles, and beliefs that no longer serve you. If you've ever felt stuck, restless, or quietly wondered, “Is this really it?”—this is the conversation your soul has been waiting for. Watch now to reconnect with the version of you who's always been there, just waiting to be remembered.   Your weekly reflection questions: Where in your life are you saying “yes” when your Authentic Self is quietly saying “no”? What truth have you been avoiding that your body already knows? If you stopped trying to prove, fix, or strive—who would you allow yourself to become?

Meditation is a practice that intimidates many people. Silence, coupled with the act of observing rather than acting, often evokes emotions such as despair and loneliness.

I once believed -  ignorantly - that “guidance” according to our star signs & astrological charts was for softheaded people needing the power of suggestion to make decisions. This conversation with Rachel Loewenherz blew my echo chamber wide open. Rachel shares her journey from a traditional background, Ivy League education, and corporate career to embracing spirituality and astrology. Along the way she experienced tremendous losses and health challenges - which along with her expertise - also informed her creation of Star Path, an innovative AI tool designed to help individuals navigate their astrological insights and apply them to their lives. Our conversation gets into the practical applications of astrology in navigating relationships, personal growth, and even in business contexts. Rachel emphasizes the importance of using astrology as a tool for empowerment rather than a means of placing blame, highlighting the role of free will in shaping our lives. This conversation was as liberating for me as it was illuminating. Post recording note: I decided to try the Star Path app AFTER our episode was recorded; it is an indispensable tool. I've tested it on deeply private and personal matters in addition to business strategy and it is nothing short of accurate and instructive according to who I am at my core. Guest Bio:Rachel Loewenherz is the founder of Star Path—an AI oracle powered by astrology. She's a Yale-educated business strategist & tech marketer, former Chief of Staff, and 2-time CEO.But that's just on paper. Behind the scenes, she was losing pregnancies, healing from PTSD, and having a massive spiritual awakening. That's when she found astrology.Now she's building Star Path - an AI that helps people remember who they are, and become who they came here to be.Website: https://starpath.app/Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2456509Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/starpathapp/ About Jen Oliver:I pursue and create environments where we converse on the REAL stuff that changes us.

Welcome to R&R: Revisit & Reflect, a new episode format here on the podcast. We're living in a time of information abundance (sometimes information overload) and lots of that information is about mental health and relational health! But there's a difference between consuming content and integrating it. When we consume, the information might just pass through us, whereas when we integrate, the information weaves its way into our unique story or situation, creating insight and the potential for a shift in mindset, in emotion, in belief, and in behavior. With these R&R episodes, you'll reflect and journal with Dr. Alexandra to integrate core lessons from the podcast, starting with today's conversation from the archive with the inimitable relationship expert Esther Perel. They explore relational ambivalence and how to reignite the spark inside your relationship, and within yourself, inspired by a listener's question. So, get out your favorite pen and journal and join in this summer reflection. You'll come away from this episode with:A deeper understanding of the importance of rituals in maintaining connection amidst life's challengesA new perspective on the impact of external circumstances on anxiety in your relationships.The ability to recognize and respond to your partner's bids for connection.A framework for self-reflection with actionable journaling prompts to enhance intimacy.Journaling Prompts:How do the macro issues of the world shape your love life today? To what degree are you able to give yourself permission for play and pleasure, even as the world feels so hard? What allows you to do that?In the clip, Esther reminds us that if you don't know how to turn yourself on, there's nothing your partner can do to turn you on. How are you finding ways to connect to your own aliveness? What are some things you can do this week, just for you, that could reinvigorate your internal spark? This could include engaging with nature, art, food, movement, or play.In this clip, Esther and Dr. Alexandra talk about how for a couple to create an experience together, one partner is the initiator and one is the responder. These roles aren't fixed, but which role do you do you tend to find yourself in more? What do you like about being in each position, and what's hard about each of them?“Your Midyear Refresh” on MasterClass: masterclass.com/yourmidyearrefreshCouple Therapy Certification Course from PESI: pesi.com/dralexandraOrder Dr. Alexandra's book, Love Every DaySubscribe to Dr. Alexandra's NewsletterSubmit a Listener Question

In this episode, I'm talking about one of the hardest but most healing parts of my journey: letting go of the past version of me who settled. The one who kept the peace at her own expense. The one who made herself smaller to feel safe. The one who thought love, success, and stability required her to abandon herself. She got me here — but she's not coming with me. I share how writing this book became an act of releasing her, grieving her, and honoring her… without staying her. Because real growth isn't just about learning something new — it's about being willing to outgrow who you used to be. If you're in a season of shedding, shifting, or standing at the edge of who you were and who you're becoming — this one's for you.
