    Make Your Perfectionism Irrelevant in Four Steps

    Hi Crybabies! I’m SO excited about today’s episode!! Literally recorded this at 10pm on a Friday because I was THAT inspired. This episode is low key a masterclass in how to BEGIN the process of making your perfectionism irrelevant—aka dethroning it from its seat of power and influence in your life. This is the exact framework that I’m going to be walking us through during IN PROCESS, my 4-week summer camp for for creatives ready to reclaim their creative process, self-expression, and visibility from the chokehold of perfectionism (waitlist gets $50 off! We start June 1) Why am I sharing it all for you here?! Because I’m generous, duh. Also because I just want everyone to be FREED from the chokehold of their perfectionism. Here are the four steps I walk us through: 001: Create a relationship with your perfectionism 002: Orient yourself around being present in process (versus hyperfixating and pedestalizing your desired goals/outcomes) 003: Your vulnerability = your superpower 004: Microdose discomfort If you love this episode and wanna do all of this with me (and other cool people) then join IN PROCESS! I’d be honored to host you. You can learn more about the program and sign up for the waitlist here.

    Hi crybabies! I’m fully obsessed with today’s episode! I interviewed astrologer + womb worker Ines and we got into so much.

  3. If Motivation and Consistency Are Hard For You, Try This

    If Motivation and Consistency Are Hard For You, Try This

    Hi Crybabies! In this episode I share a little bit about why I went silent in March, but mostly I talk about why I think it’s helpful for us as creatives to stop focusing on motivation and consistency, and instead direct our focus on resourcing ourselves, and surrendering to our cycles. I share about how you can use your astrology chart as a starting point for what YOU need in order to feel resourced, and then get into how to identify what cycle you’re in, why that matters, and how to surrender to it. [also halfway thru the episode I realized my mic wasn’t plugged in - the audio is fine throughout but, ya kno. just human thingz] This episode was recorded with no notes, off-the-cuff as part of my journey/process of reconnecting with my voice. Work with me: * Book a Creative Archetype Immersion if you’d like to know what your natal chart says about how you can resource yourself for your creative work, and what your creative cycles tend to look like.

    Life after people pleasing and building my discomfort tolerance

    Hi Crybabies! This is the beginning of an exploration I’m taking to uncover: WTF does authenticity even mean now that it’s such a buzzword (and likely will continue to be) In today’s episode, I get suuuuper candid about my history of people pleasing, how that’s gotten in the way embodying my own authenticity, and how I’ve been clawing my way back to myself [via hard, honest convos and a bed of nails {literally}] Here’s the episode breakdown: * How I got so far gone I didn’t even know what “just be yourself!” meant or looked like for me [bc like, in which context??] * Authenticity as something we each have to claim within systems designed to pull our attention away from the truth of ourselves * Why I’ve come to realize that for me, people pleasing is just straight up lying and doesn’t just hurt the people pleaser * Realizing that authenticity requires increasing my tolerance for discomfort [and conflict] and how I’m staying present with that instead of checking out * What creative authenticity means to me [and how this concept can help you in your own authenticity exploration] This episode was recorded with no notes, off-the-cuff as part of this journey in reconnecting with my voice.

    Hi crybabies! This first episode of 2026 has all the tea omg.

But I really enjoyed just letting myself flow - hope you love it! Come for the tea, stay for the insights. Work with me: * Book a Creative Archetype Immersion with me!

    How to Redefine Your Relationship With Possibility

    Hi crybabies! This is the perfect episode to listen to before you start making your 2026 resolutions! In today’s ep I’m breaking down: * Why you should be actively re-evaluating your relationship with possibility, especially when you bump into your self-limiting beliefs * How to do a “possibility check-in” and how that can help you slowly start to believe in your own possibilities + embody possibility * Four things I do to intentionally expand my own perception + capacity to see possibility My 2026 Astral Almanac is open for preorders! I talk about what this is in the episode but the tl;dr is that it’s a personalized guidebook full of astro + tarot readings for the entire year of 2026. Not a generalized year-ahead reading, but customized to your birth chart. I’ve only got a few left, so grab one if you want one!
