If you've ever caught yourself wondering, "Am I good enough? Lovable enough? Worthy enough?"... this episode is for you.

Today, I'm diving into the powerful difference between external and internal validation, and how learning to validate yourself is the key to breaking free from codependency, people-pleasing, and enmeshment.

When we rely on others to tell us who we are, we lose touch with our true selves. But when we start building that validation from within, everything changes: our confidence, our sense of worth, and the way we move through the world.

In this episode, I share:

• How codependency develops when we seek our worth outside of ourselves

• Simple ways to practice self-validation every day

• Why internal validation becomes even more essential as we age

• How celebrating your small wins rewires your brain and boosts self-worth

This episode is all about bringing it home. Finding your value from within and learning to celebrate the beautifully unique human you already are.

Today, I sit down with my dear friend and astrologer Monica Lorraine to explore the deeper wisdom within your astrology chart. You're so much more than your sun sign. Your birth chart is a map of your soul that reveals who you are and why you're here.

Monica shares how understanding your chart can help you grow emotionally and spiritually, navigate relationship patterns, and uncover your true purpose. She explains what a birth chart is, how planetary movements influence your life, and how to use astrology as a practical tool for self-awareness.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• What your birth chart actually is and why it matters

• How to move beyond your sun sign and explore your full astrological blueprint

• Understanding emotional patterns, triggers, and personal timing

• How astrology can strengthen your relationships and communication

• Using your chart to identify and embody your purpose

I'm joined today by the mystical and deeply inspiring Alana Fairchild, an internationally known spiritual teacher, author, and creator of more than 70 beloved Oracle decks. Together, we explore how to navigate seasons of transformation, embody the divine feminine, and trust the mysterious timing of our own blooming.

Alana shares profound wisdom on eclipse energy as a spiritual reset, helping us understand why moments of uncertainty, exhaustion, or grief often arrive before major breakthroughs. We also dive into what it means to awaken the divine feminine within, how to listen to your intuition, and why learning to trust life's rhythm is the key to inner peace.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• How to work with eclipse energy as a spiritual "reboot"

• The healing power of grief and surrender

• What divine feminine energy really means (and how to embody it)

• The role of Oracle cards as a bridge to your intuition and inner guidance
  
  

This is a conversation about trusting your unfolding, honoring your rhythm, and remembering who you truly are.
