    The New Moon in Libra is about balance, relationships, and planting seeds. In this episode, we explore how "work-life balance" may be the wrong goal, a different way to relate to your past self, and a simple shift called 10/10 RN that helps you prepare the soil of your life in the present moment to plant seeds for your future. In this episode: Why life moves in seasons, and what we’re really after when we ask for work-life balanceEvery area of your life is a relationship: with your work, money, family, health, and yourselfByron Katie's Loving What Is, and why accepting your current circumstances doesn't always mean staying where you areWhy thanking your past self is more helpful than choosing disappointment10/10 RN ("10 out of 10, right now"): what if each area of your life was a ten?

    1000 Piece Puzzle - Full Harvest Moon in Aries

    The full moon in Aries, the Harvest Moon, is doing its low-hanging optical-illusion thing, and somewhere in there Zadra almost fires off an angry email to a romance novelist. This episode covers keeping your temper in check during Aries season, the difference between the Equinox and the Equilux, and three ideas pulled straight from real life: what a 1,000-piece puzzle taught Zadra about pacing a big project, the vision behind building a community of 1,000 mission-driven members, and what almost getting defensive about a fictional life coach revealed about the gap between coaching and therapy — and how much work is still left to do. Key Takeaways Aries-moon energy speeds up the gap between feeling and acting — maybe pause before you hit send on anything.The Harvest Moon looks bigger because of where it sits on the horizon, not because it actually is bigger — the same optical trick used in forced-perspective filmmaking.The equinox (equal night) and the equilux (equal light) aren't the same day — nautical twilight and the sun's path angle create the gap.Big goals get built one person, one piece, one mini-project at a time — not all at once.Coaching and therapy serve different needs; one isn't a replacement for the other.Mentioned in This Episode Plantkween — "you're allowed to outgrow a dream that only existed to impress other people"The Lord of the Rings — forced perspective (Ian McKellen / Elijah Wood, Bag End)Byron Katie — "Is it true?"Mel Robbins — Let Them theoryThe Grove Community Curious about The Grove - the community mentioned in today's episode?

    Should I Stay or Should I Go? (Full Moon in Pisces)

    # Should I Stay or Should I Go? The full Sturgeon Moon lands in Pisces on August 27, 2026 and coincides with a dramatic partial lunar eclipse — the perfect backdrop for a Pisces-flavored question: how do you know when it's time to stay, and when it's time to go? In this episode: - Why speaking a big idea out loud can instantly turn it from joy into obligation — and the protective-belief that shows up right after - The identity gap between where you are and the vision you're holding, and why it's important to be honest about whether you're ready to close it - Why deciding once beats re-deciding every day, and how your brain talks you out of change - The Tuesday/Thursday exercise: separating what actually happened from the story your brain is telling you about it - The E + R = O tool (Event + Response = Outcome) and how a few seconds of pause changes everything - How to discern an urgent *pull toward* something from a panicked *push away* from something - A simple body-check and journaling exercise for getting clear before you decide - The four real options when you're weighing a change — leaving is only one of them **Mentioned in this episode:** *Loving What Is* — Byron Katie *Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day* — Judith Viorst *The Success Principles* — Jack Canfield Have a question or want to share your experience?  Leave a comment on Apple Podcasts, or where ever you listen.

    Wear Your Crown (New Moon in Leo: Solar Eclipse)

    As we move into Leo season, we are asked to step into our sovereign energy, be our true confident selves, and choose our future from our own direction. What gets in the way of that and how do we overcome it? What We Cover Leo season energy — sovereign, regal, fire-sign momentum, and what it's asking of you this month (drop the facades, release approval-seeking, brace for quick pivots)Protective beliefs - aka limiting beliefs — why the beliefs that hold you back were once useful, and where they come from (your own experience and what you've inherited from the world around you)“The economy sucks" story — why this specific belief is sabotaging your job search, your sales, your business, and your joyIdeas seek a medium— Elizabeth Gilbert's concept that ideas want to be born, and why every good idea is a little polarizingThe solar eclipse as metaphor — the darkness is real, yet temporary and never truly totalThe foundational formula to remember — thoughts → feelings → actions → resultsResources & References Mentioned The Big Leap - Gay HendricksBig Magic - Elizabeth GilbertThe Rest is Science - "Are You REALLY Made Of Stars?" - podcast hosted by Hannah Fry and Michael Stevens Have a question or want to share your experience?  Leave a comment on Apple Podcasts, or where ever you listen.

    Write the Movie You Want to be in (Full Moon in Aquarius)

    This Full Moon in Aquarius, paired with Jupiter conjunct the Sun in Leo, is an invitation to think about your life as a movie you're both starring in and writing. We talk about the cast of characters in your story (and how each one reflects you back to yourself), why every script goes through edits, and how to move from autopilot living to deliberate, values-driven choices. Plus: a practice for nonprofit and mission-driven listeners on envisioning the best possible outcome — not the safe one — and believing in it as you make day-to-day decisions. Key Takeaways You're the lead in your own story — and every supporting character is a mirror, not just a foil.Your reticular activating system finds proof for whatever you already believe. If you expect villains, you'll find them.The real question isn't "who's the villain in my story?" It's whether you want villains in your life at all — and who you become while fighting one.Scripts are edited, not filmed raw. You're allowed to revise as you go.For nonprofit and mission-driven work: envision the best possible outcome, not the realistic one, and let that version guide today's decisions — the grant, the hard conversation, the budget call.Dreaming only feels painful when you tie your worth to whether it's happened yet. It doesn't have to be tied to that. Mentioned in This Episode A Happy Pocket Full of Money by David Cameron Gikandi Reflection Questions for Listeners Is your movie a tragedy, a comedy, or something else right now?Who's in your cast, and what might they be reflecting back to you?Do you want there to be villains in your life? Do you like who you are when you're fighting one?What's the best possible outcome for your work this week — and what's one decision today that could move you toward it?Have a question or want to share your experience?  Leave a comment on Apple Podcasts, or where ever you listen.

    Moving Through Disappointment - Full Strawberry Moon in Capricorn 2026

    Keep Going with Zadra is published with the schedule of the moon, deliberately, as an example of how we are each able to define what “consistent” means for ourselves.The Strawberry Moon in Capricorn invites us to find the balance of public ambition and private comfort, revisit existing goals rather than abandon them for something new, and assess relationships for the coming season.We examine the difference between being disappointed ("I am disappointed" — an identity) and feeling disappointment ("I feel disappointed" — a moment that passes), and what that distinction changed for me this week.I share what causes a breakdown — an unfulfilled expectation, a thwarted intention, or an undelivered communication — and why feeling disappointment is actually the key to a breakthrough outcome.I show you how to move through emotions by allowing yourself to be human, letting yourself truly feel the disappointment, self-soothe, change your state, and decide to keep going as your most powerful, aligned self.
