    When You Are Done Living for Everyone Else : On Abandoning Approval with Stacy Walker

    Welcome to Episode 24 of Unreasonable Magic! Have you ever looked around and thought, how did I get here? What do I even want any more? Today's guest did just that. We get into what happens when a high-achieving corporate leader hits a wall, stops seeking everyone else's permission, and turns back to the poetry she abandoned in second grade. In this deeply moving episode of Unreasonable Magic, host Christy Simoncelli sits down with author and small business owner Stacy Walker. Together, they unpack what it actually takes to walk away from a life built on pleasing others, how poetry and creativity can become a lifeline during profound grief and parental loss, and why "abandoning approval" is the ultimate act of self-preservation. Stacy talks all about this epic life transition and also cues up her her book which is rich and lovely and ripe with tools and inspiring cues to help you unpack your own need for seeking approval. And of course we look at all of through the lens of astrology & human design because Christy loves to name the patterns and timing that lead us where we need to go! So good. Please give it a listen! Key Takeaways The Breaking Point: How deep burnout and an unaligned corporate career can serve as the unexpected catalyst for a radical identity shift. Reclaiming the Page: Why turning to poetry can give you a safe container to process rage, grief, and complex emotions when talking isn't enough. Navigating Family Systems: Examining the heavy weight of being the "managing" eldest child, absorbing other people's emotional chaos, and learning to hold boundaries when it's hardest. The Power of the Pivot: Unpacking the courage it takes to quit the secure path, write your own story, and choose your immediate family and inner truth over external validation. Memorable Quote "I didn't want to be dramatic and say it saved me, but truly... I was processing on the page. I didn't have another tool to process all that I needed to process, and it was such a gift." — Stacy Walker Links & Resources Mentioned Connect with Stacy Walker and find her book, Abandoning Approval: On Boundaries, Becoming, and Choosing Yourself.

    Stop Trying to Fix How You Feel: The Emotional Wave

    Welcome to Episode: 20 — The Alchemy of Big Feelings: Human Design, Grief, and Creative Gold Host: Christy Simoncelli No guests today—just Christy and her "big feelings." In this solo episode, Christy dives deep into emotions, conditioning, and how the lens of Human Design gives us a whole new way to navigate our high and low moods. Half of the people walking the Earth have emotional authority and are riding the emotional wave. So few of us were raised to honor that! From observing how people react to daily Instagram energy reports to examining the cultural conditioning that only "happy" feelings are acceptable, Christy unpacks why rainy days—and heavy moods—are not something to fix or fight. Whether you have Emotional Authority and ride a defined emotional wave, or an Open Emotional Center that amplifies the energy around you, this conversation invites you to stop inventorying why you feel down and start honoring what your emotions are calling for. Plus, we look at the powerful alchemy of grief, melancholy, and heavy moods throughout history—from Shakespeare and Mary Shelley to Frida Kahlo and U2—and how honoring our depth creates true art, community, and healing. Topics Covered: Human Design Emotional Authority The Feelings Wheel Self Acceptance The Emotional Wave Resources Mentioned Cured: The Life-Changing Science of Spontaneous Healing by Dr. Jeffrey Rediger Christy's Substack Essay: "Grief is a Noun" Connect & Work with Christy Website: www.henscrossing.com Instagram: hens.crossing Substack: https://substack.com/@christysimoncelli Book a Session or Register for Upcoming Workshops: https://schedulinghenscrossing.as.me/events

    What Is Worth Fighting For? Venus & Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio

    Welcome to Episode 18 of Unreasonable Magic! In this episode, Christy Simoncelli breaks down the upcoming double retrograde season and takes a closer look at Venus and Mercury retrogrades in Scorpio and Libra. We look at the actual mechanics of these cycles including dates and themes and ways you can integrate this into your life. Instead of fearing the cosmic slowdown, we explore how to use this intense water-sign energy to declutter your mental space, reflect on your relationships, re-evaluate what you value, and figure out what is truly worth fighting for. This Venus Retrograde cycle feels especially potent and aligns with themes that might have come up for you during Fall of 2018. Christy shares her own experience with Venus Retrograde from a personal perspective. As always Christy adds the Human Design layer to add some more context! Join us for the magic!

The 2018 Parallel & Personal Retreat: Looking back at historical cycles (like the heavy shifts of 2018) and why stepping back into a temporary retreat is essential for integrating big life lessons and finishing what matters most.
