    The Wild Woman Spotlight with Lise Gibson: Astrology Basics and Getting to Know Yourself Through the Stars

    "I'm not a psychic. I'm an astrologer. I can tell you what the energy is going to be like during different times of the year for you based on when you were born." In this Wild Woman Spotlight episode, Sarah sits down with Lise Gibson, an astrologer who has been reading Sarah's chart for over 20 years. Lise predicted every single one of Sarah's pregnancies (all surprises!) and has been a trusted guide through life's ups and downs. Together, they explore the basics of astrology and how understanding your chart can lead to self-acceptance and self-fulfillment. In this episode, you'll learn: The three most important parts of your birth chart: Sun, Moon, and Ascendant The difference between your Sun sign (soul's purpose) and Moon sign (how you soothe yourself) Why Moon compatibility matters more than Sun signs in relationships The role of Venus (values) and Mars (attraction/drive) in love and partnership What the houses in your chart represent and why a house with many planets means lots of change Why someone with all planets on the left side of their chart is a "driver" The difference between Saturn transits (problems you created, growing up) and Pluto transits (things that just happen, psychological depth) Major life transits: Saturn return (ages 27-29), midlife crisis transits (ages 36-43), and what they mean How astrology is predictive (planets have predictable movements) but the stories are infinite Why getting a baby chart is a beautiful gift for new parents Lise also shares why she loves helping people, especially young adults, understand themselves so they don't hit midlife wondering, "What have I been doing?"

    Episode 5: Living a Holistic Life & May 2026 Touchstone

    You are not a collection of compartments. You are a whole, wild, integrated being. This month's theme was born from my conversation with Edith Wolek, our Wild Woman Spotlight guest. Edith and I talked about how women often compartmentalize their lives: I'm a mother over here, a businesswoman over there, a friend somewhere else. But the truth is, you are all of it. All at once. And when you show up as your whole self, unapologetically, authentically, integrated…that’s when the magic happens. In this May touchstone episode of The Wild Woman with Sarah Diop, Sarah guides you through: The theme of holistic living, inspired by Edith Wolek and the importance of not compartmentalizing your life May 2026 astrology including Pluto retrograde, Uranus in Gemini, and major planetary shifts May moon dates: Full Moon in Scorpio (May 1), Full Moon in Sagittarius (May 31) and New Moon in Taurus (May 16) A nature-based manifestation ritual, releasing intentions into water or planting seeds in the earth A health tip on cleansing, Sarah shares her favourite cleanses (Renew Life CleanseSmart, FlorEssence, Wild Rose Cleanse) and why May is the perfect time to reset before summer A collective tarot & ancestor reading to carry with you through the month If you're ready to stop living in pieces and start living as a whole, integrated Wild Woman, this episode is your May touchstone.

    The Wild Woman Spotlight with Edith Wolek

    Branding, Visibility & Women Supporting Women In this Wild Woman Spotlight episode, Sarah sits down with Edith Wolek to talk about women in leadership, authentic personal branding and the power of women supporting women. Edith shares her personal journey from overcoming a lifetime fear of public speaking to becoming a CEO, mentor, and the founder of the Women of Expansion and Impact international networking group. Together, they explore: Why women often feel pressure to shrink or stay small and how to break that pattern The difference between "doing" and "being" in business and life Why personal branding works best when your business reflects your whole self (mother, entrepreneur, friend, wild woman) How women can move past plateau phases after launching a business The power of all-women spaces for honest conversation and support The importance of having a soundboard for your ideas as an entrepreneur Edith also shares details about her 12-week She Leads: Brand Mastery program and her 90-minute Brand Impact Mastery session for women who need clarity on their next step. Connect with Edith Wolek Book a 20-minute consultation for the She Leads program 90-minute Brand Impact Mastery session  Courage Magazine Global & Taking a Leap (Amazon Best-Seller) Emperors Media Connect with all guests and past episodes at:  sarahdeop.com (visit the Wild Women page) Studies Referenced in This Episode During the episode, Sarah mentions research showing that women often feel they need to do more than their male counterparts to achieve equal footing at work. Here are two studies supporting that statement: 1. Nelson, L. (2025). Taking the time: Gender and labor in academic peer review. American Sociological Review, 90(2), 215–241. This study found that women performed significantly more uncompensated, low‑promotability work than men (including 40% more error comments and 50% more reassuring comments) because they felt it was necessary to be viewed as equally competent. 2. Cha, Y., & Weeden, K. A. (2014). Overwork and the slow convergence in the gender gap in wages. American Sociological Review, 79(3), 457–484. This research shows that women work equally long hours as men but receive lower rewards, leading women to believe they must outwork their male colleagues just to maintain equal standing. Why This Matters As Sarah and Edith discuss, understanding these workplace dynamics is essential for creating authentic, visible, and empowered personal brands especially for women who have been taught to shrink. The research confirms that working harder is not enough; systemic change and mutual support among women are critical.

    Episode 3: The Art of Reframing & April 2026 Touchstone

    "It's not your fault." Those four words, the first line of Tamu Thomas's book Women Who Work Too Much became the invitation for this month's touchstone. If the system was never built for us to thrive, if we've been running on empty because we were told that's what it means to be a worthy woman, then maybe the only way forward is to reframe. In this episode of The Wild Woman with Sarah Diop, Sarah guides you through: The theme of reframing inspired by the Tamu Thomas conversation April 2026 astrology including Mars in Aries, Venus in Taurus, Taurus season, and Uranus entering Gemini April moon dates: Full Moon in Libra (April 1) and New Moon in Aries (April 17) A house blessing ritual using cinnamon and salt, a Gaelic blessing to invite prosperity, cleansing, and sacredness into your home A morning ritual for better sleep, waiting 60–90 minutes for coffee, morning sunlight, and cold shower to optimize your circadian rhythm A collective tarot & ancestor reading to carry with you through the month If you're ready to reframe what success looks like, what rest means, and how you start your day, this episode is your April touchstone. House Blessing Ritual: Cinnamon & Salt Spring is a time of clearing out the old and inviting in the new. This simple ritual blesses your home with prosperity (cinnamon) and cleansing (salt). What you'll need: A small bowl with a mixture of cinnamon and salt Your front door Optional: A quiet moment to set your intention The Ritual: Stand at your front door, facing into your home. Take a small amount of the mixture in your left hand (the receiving hand). Bring your hand to your heart centre. Set your intention: I bless this home. May it be a place of peace, prosperity, and presence. Blow the mixture into your home. Gaelic House Blessing (Blow more mixture between each line) "Bless this house and all that dwell within." "Bless each door that opens wide to stranger or kin." "May peace and joy be found under its roof." "Bless each place of rest." "Bless each window pane that lets the starlight in." "May it be a safe haven from the storms of life." "Bless this house with warmth and light." "May love and kindness thrive within its walls." "Bless this house and all that dwell within."

    The Wild Woman Spotlight with Tamu Thomas

    Reclaiming Your Nervous System, Redefining Success & Breaking Free from Toxic Productivity "It's not your fault." That's the first line of the first chapter of Tamu Thomas's groundbreaking book, Women Who Work Too Much: Break Free from Toxic Productivity and Find Your Joy . And in this powerful conversation, Tamu invites us to exhale, soften, and finally ask ourselves: What if I'm not broken, what if the system is? Tamu Thomas is a transformational somatic leadership coach, former social worker, and author whose work sits at the intersection of nervous system regulation, social justice, and women's liberation. Her message is both a balm and a wake-up call: our value is not in what we do, but in who we already are. In this soul-stirring episode of The Wild Woman with Sarah Diop, Tamu and Sarah explore: Why women end up over-functioning just to survive and why it's not your fault The myth of "having it all" and the infrastructure that was never built to support it How the industrial revolution taught us to judge our humanity against the standard of machines Why women wax and wane like the moon and how our cycles impact our nervous systems, productivity, and sense of self The autonomic ladder: what it is, how it works, and how to befriend your nervous system The difference between toxic productivity and natural productivity Why "positive mindset" can become the nectar of capitalism—and how to tell the difference between genuine optimism and toxic positivity The liberating power of redefining success on your own terms A powerful story of a woman who chose a part-time bakery job over a six-figure business—and why that was the most empowered choice she could make If you've ever found yourself googling productivity hacks when what you really need is rest… if you've ever dismissed your body's signals and pushed through anyway… if you've ever felt like you're running on empty but can't figure out how to stop, this episode is for you. Key Themes We Explore ✨ It's Not Your Fault – The personal development industry often implies we're broken. Tamu flips the script: you're over-functioning because the system wasn't built for you to thrive. ✨ Waxing and Waning Like the Moon – Women's energy ebbs and flows with their cycles. We've been taught to judge ourselves by our ovulation-phase selves—and it's destroying us. ✨ The Autonomic Ladder – A simplified guide to your nervous system: ventral (connection + safety), sympathetic (motivation + ambition), dorsal (collapse + rest). We travel up and down this ladder all day—and that's normal. ✨ Toxic Productivity vs. Natural Productivity – Pushing through at all costs vs. flowing with your energy. One leads to burnout. The other leads to joy. ✨ Redefining Success – Success isn't one size fits all. For one woman, it was a six-figure business. For another, it was a part-time bakery job that let her pick up her kids from school. Both are valid. Both are powerful. ✨ The Nectar of Capitalism – Toxic positivity keeps us divided, distracted, and buying solutions to problems that require collective care.
