Happy Chinese New Year 🧧 and a warm welcome back to the podcast 🤲🏼. It feels so good to open the Lunar New Year with my conversation with Jes, who has since become one of my closest friends after we first met to record this episode.

At the beginning of the episode, I open by discussing the elements of the Yin Wood Snake year through a grounded energetic lens, offering tips and reflective prompts on how to embody these qualities in daily life 🪵 🐍

In my conversation with Jes, we go deep into:

~ The obligatory self-sacrificial nature of our Chinese heritage and how it shapes burnout, proving, and validation cycles

~ The deep-seated equation of sacrifice = love

~ Creating personal tools and resources to check in with ourselves rather than relying on over-complicated, mind-focused external strategies

~ Repairing our relationship with our upbringing, families, and past selves

~ The illusion of a perfect measure for rest, relaxation, and ease

~ Where to look in our Human Design chart for a tendency toward relentless determination (even against unhelpful odds)

~ Our universal desire to feel seen and recognised, beyond what our charts indicate

~ Unpacking, reframing, and redefining the projection field and not-self anger as a 5/1 Manifestor (from my perspective)

~ The ecological network of transformation—how growth, deconditioning, and healing are never siloed experiences

…and so much more!!

Happy Astrological New Year, as the Sun enters the sign of Aries 🌞 It was such a pleasure to sit with Agi last week to create this special Equinox, eclipse & astrological new year episode for you filled with practical tips & powerful insights.

In this episode, Agi shares with us her very recent journey into motherhood and how she began reconnecting with herself and her inner guidance 8+ years ago through the help of a diverse range of energetic tools that she now shares with others.

Agi was so generous to do a live tarot reading for us, shedding light on the energies of the year that’s passed, what we’re currently moving through and what’s ahead 🌀 It was very insightful to say the least - especially in relation to Aries, one of Selfhood, which is also the current nodal axis we are in - Aries North Node/Libra South Node - for the next 9 more months. We unpack these energies in the episode in detail and in depth!

Whenever you arrive at this episode, trust that it is the right time. Tune in, receive and let us know how it lands and what it sparks for you 🤗

1:1 Mentoring

It was so special to get to dive behind the scenes with Poet & Spoken Word Artist Nathalie James in this episode.

We go deep into her creative journey and experience leading up to performing at a poetry slam grand final at the end of 2023, where Nathalie shares how she courageously chose artistic integrity over abiding by competition rules and all the synchronistic twists and turns that led to her arriving on stage in the Spoken Word arena after a lifetime of writing (privately) and basking in the deep romance of words. Nathalie shares with us so much, from her ancestral connection with words, her writing process, to finding confidence in trusting herself and differentiating her voice from peers and mentors + much more!

An episode not to be missed as we close out dreamy + poetic Pisces season this year! Enjoy our inspiring conversation and be sure to listen right through to take in Nathalie's very moving recitation of that very powerful 'too long' poem that left us both positively speechless and in tears. We wait eagerly to hear how our conversation touches you 🥲🌹

Nathalie’s artistic intention is to write words that connect, inspire and remind us to never give up on what lights us up. She currently resides on the Sunshine Coast with an unruly cat and a notebook full of ideas for what’s next. Nathalie hopes her words fan the sparks of who you are into flames.
