    EP09 Alchemy Through Humiliation: Turning Shame into High Performing Copy with Ilana Khin

    Ilana Khin spent her whole life terrified of being humiliated — until she built an entire coaching practice around walking straight into it instead of away from it. In this episode, Ilana Khin, copywriter and Existential Kink–certified coach, joins Laurel to talk about existential kink coaching, honest business performance, and why the fear of humiliation might be the most useful thing in your chart. What you'll walk away with: Why chasing "authenticity" as a brand identity can actually be the least honest thing you do and what to build instead The reframe Ilana calls "alchemy through humiliation," and why she says it's the fastest path to real creative and business power How to spot the difference between a business built on performance and one built on honest expression, before your audience does Chart tease:  Ilana's Chiron sits in the house of public image, locked in a tight square to the placement that gave her, as an infant, her first lesson that strangers — and attention — aren't safe. "Alchemy through humiliation" isn't a phrase Ilana found. It's the shape of her chart. ABOUT ILANA KHINIlana Khin is the copywriter and Existential Kink–certified coach behind Creatrix Copy, where she helps solopreneurs, mystics, and artists write and build from their most honest selves instead of a polished performance. She's currently mid soul-initiation — she sold what she owned, went nomadic in 2025, and has been dancing her way through Latin America.

    EP08 The Body Keeps The Receipts: Trusting Yourself After Trauma with Nastia Artamonova

    Somatic practitioner Nastia Artamonova nearly drowned at two years old — and spent the next thirty years learning how to trust her own body again. In this episode of Made for This, astrologer Laurel Kassor pairs Nastia's story with a live birth chart reading, tracing an exact Chiron-Moon conjunction in Leo through a lifetime of fascia work, nervous system healing, and reclaiming safety in the body. Nastia is a somatic practitioner, body educator, and public speaker who calls herself a body alchemist, someone who survived decades of combat training in her own body and turned it to gold. Laurel reads Nastia's exact Chiron-Moon conjunction in Leo against her natal Ceres-Sun-Mercury stellium in Pisces, showing how an infancy spent being filmed rather than held became a lifelong pattern of needing to be witnessed to feel safe — and how her Saturn return finally forced her to trust her own body instead of outsourcing that job to everyone else. If you've ever needed someone else's permission to trust your own body, this episode is made for you. What you'll walk away with: Why physical symptoms are often the body's way of surfacing unprocessed emotion, and how to work backward from symptom to root causeHow a single early-childhood event can quietly shape decades of self-trust, and how to spot that pattern in your own lifeWhat it actually means to trust your body again, beyond the wellness cliché, and how fascia hydration factors into nervous system safety Chart tease: Nastia's exact Chiron-Moon conjunction in Leo shows up right at birth, tied to a lifelong pattern of needing to be seen to feel safe — and her Saturn return finally forced her to build that safety from within instead of outsourcing it to everyone else.

    EP07 Processing Past Lives: Writing Through the Witch Wound with Lanna Graham

    Before she had words for it, she already felt the pull of the unknownl. She was barely a year old when she climbed toward the flame. What she learned instead wasn't about fire. It was that exploring the unknown comes with a cost. But Lanna Grace has been burned before — literally. And she's done letting that stop her. In this episode of Made for This with Laurel Kassor, energy expert and dark romance author Lanna Grace shares the story behind nearly two decades of spiritual work, multiple lifetimes of being killed for her gifts, and how she's finally channeling it all into fiction that processes past life karma in real time. Through a live Soul Arc Astrology™ reading, Laurel reveals the birth chart signatures of the witch wound, Pillar 12 saturation, and why people with this level of Neptune placement are literally built to receive from beyond the veil. Together, they explore: ✨ Neptune square the Sun — why oracles keep suppressing their gifts to survive ✨ Chiron in Taurus in the 6th house — psychic senses as a technical skill set ✨ What childhood abandonments look like in a birth chart — in real time ✨ Being called a liar at 14 in court — and how writing became the healing ✨ Past lives, the witch wound, and why the exploration kept getting her killed ✨ Neptune transiting a 4th house Pisces stellium — 14 years of beautiful, brutal meandering ✨ Dark romance as active alchemy — channeling past life memory into fiction ✨ The difference between free flow writing and automatic writing ✨ Chiron moving into Taurus — what it's activating for Gen X right now ✨ Why so much of what we call mental illness is unscaffolded spiritual awakening Lanna opens up about a childhood shaped by abandonment, abuse, and the suppression of gifts so powerful they got her killed in past lives, a 14-year spiritual unraveling that began the moment Neptune entered Pisces, and the moment she finally stopped performing her spirituality and started writing from it instead. This conversation is for anyone who has ever thought: Why do I feel everything so much more than everyone around me? Why does following my intuition always seem to come with a cost? Why do I know things I have no logical right to know? Am I too weird, too deep, too much for this world? What if everything I've been through was actually preparing me for this? If you've ever felt like your magic was more burden than gift — and wondered if you'd ever find people who actually get it — this episode is for you. 📲 Find LANNA GRACE: @Threads: @moonoverpisces Website: www.campsite.bio/moonoverpisces 📲 Find LAUREL KASSOR: Instagram: @soularc_astrology Threads: @astro_aries 💫 Work with Laurel → soularcastrology.com/links 🌀 Join The Kindred → soularcastrology.com/thekindred

    E06 Near Death, New Direction: Fight, Flow, & Find Your Way to Inner Safety with Patricia Scibek

    Since childhood, the only consistent thing in her life was inconsistency — constant moves, shifting caretakers, and a survival instinct that taught her the best defense was a good offense. But when a ruptured appendix became a near-death experience, she was forced beyond the veil and came back with all the answers. Patricia Scibek is an oracle, writer, and adventurer living in Egypt. Through divination, mediumship, animal communication, and intuitive guidance, she helps people navigate both the visible and unseen worlds with greater trust and clarity. In this episode, Patricia shares her cinematic journey—from a premature birth that had her in an incubator, to the horses that taught her how to regulate and trust herself, to the deadly experience that awakened a deeper relationship with intuition and transformed the way she sees the world. Through a live Soul Arc Astrology reading, Laurel reveals the birth chart signatures of survival, nervous system regulation, spiritual awakening, and the alchemy that becomes possible when we stop dismissing our sensitivity and start honoring it. If you've ever sensed there was more to this world than you could explain—or wondered if your sensitivity might actually be your greatest gift—this episode is for you. CHART TEASEA chart built to survive anything and metabolize. Patricia's placements speak to a lifelong reckoning with protection, belonging, and the slow discovery that the most powerful container she could offer others was the one she first built within herself—through horses, through martial arts, through revolutions, through death, and back again. IN THIS EPISODELosing a second mother figure before age one & what that imprinted earlyA premature birth, constant moving & grandparents as the golden ticketManifesting a horse at seven and what it actually taught her about trust & nervous system regulationMartial arts since thirteen & mastering survival through structureGrowing up without religion and staying open to the unseen worldThe near-death experience that changed everythingLiving through two Egyptian revolutionsFounding a nonprofit for Indigenous women's self-defenseLetting go of martyrdom & why oracle work expands her instead of depleting her "I came back with all the answers and none of the questions. You have to prompt me. You ask the question and I'm like — yeah, I know this." "The horse gave me stability. It gave me trust. It gave me consistency. The only thing consistent in my life before that was inconsistency." "This is the only thing that makes me expand. Everything else required me to shave off pieces of myself. My oracle work doesn't." ABOUT PATRICIA SCIBEKPatricia Scibek is an oracle, writer, and wanderer based in Egypt who has spent her life moving between the visible and invisible worlds — literally and figuratively. She offers pay-what-you-can divination rooted in the belief that intuitive guidance should be accessible to everyone, and her readings draw on tarot, mediumship, animal communication, and past life regression.

    She watched her mother lose herself in relationships, watched her father get arrested at ten, survived enmeshment, abandonment wounds, PMDD, and a nervous system crash—and she's only twenty-two years old. Oriyah Soul is an entrepreneur, poet, and cycle-syncing guide who helps women remember that their bodies are not betraying them. They're communicating with them. In this episode, Oriyah shares the experiences that shaped her: growing up with a single mother, deciding at a young age that she would never repeat the patterns she witnessed, building an entire inner world to survive, and eventually realizing that the very wounds she tried to outrun were living inside her body. Through a live Soul Arc Astrology reading, Laurel reveals the birth chart signatures of inherited pain, emotional resilience, and the profound connection between our bodies, our histories, and our healing. If you've ever looked at your parents and thought, "That will never be me," only to discover those same patterns quietly living inside you—this episode is for you. CHART TEASEA chart built to feel deeply, survive profoundly, and turn pain into wisdom. Oriyah's placements speak to a lifetime of breaking generational cycles, listening to the body, and helping others understand that healing often begins with what our symptoms are trying to say.

I embody her. I am here to plant seeds on her behalf." "I looked at my mother from a very young age and I said: that will never be me." "My mother taught me how to fantasize without actualizing." "My body said: Oriyah, enough is enough. You have to face your demons because you're carrying them in your body." "I take a symptom and I show people how it's mirroring their emotional world." ABOUT ORIYAH SOULOriyah Soul is an entrepreneur, poet, and cycle-syncing guide who helps women reconnect with their bodies, rhythms, and emotional worlds.

    E04 Making Sense of the Mess: Why Intuition Is a Business Strategy with Veronica Dietz

    She was lost in the ocean at one year old, nonverbal until three, adultified at five, and somehow still grew up knowing exactly what she wanted—including the house she manifested at eleven by visualizing it so clearly that when her parents finally showed it to her, she said: "Yeah. I made that happen." Veronica Dietz is a business advisor, brand architect, and founder of Tyche Digital Agency and VD Advisory Group, where she helps founders uncover the invisible, load-bearing issues keeping their businesses stuck—the problems hiding underneath the loud symptoms everyone else is trying to fix. In this episode, Veronica shares the experiences that shaped her: learning to reinvent herself every time her family moved, being kicked out two weeks before her eighteenth birthday, becoming a single mother, quitting a job on Friday and moving to Las Vegas by Sunday, and slowly learning to trust the intuition she'd spent years trying to control. Through a live Soul Arc Astrology reading, Laurel reveals the birth chart's pattern recognition, discernment, and a lifetime of seeing things before everyone else does. If you've ever felt like you could see things other people couldn't—but weren't sure whether to trust yourself—this episode is for you. CHART TEASEA chart built to observe everything, trust the downloads, and make sense of what everyone else misses. Veronica's placements speak to a lifetime of learning that intuition isn't the opposite of strategy—it can be the strategy. IN THIS EPISODE• Being lost in the ocean at one year old and growing up with uncertainty from the start • Being nonverbal until three and learning to observe before speaking • Reinventing herself every time her family moved • Manifesting the exact house she wanted at eleven • Getting kicked out before her eighteenth birthday and rebuilding from scratch • Why pattern recognition often gets mislabeled as manipulation • Divorce, single motherhood, and learning to trust herself • Why intuition became the foundation of her work and business philosophy MEMORABLE MOMENTS"The truth is I was born this way. It took years of learning to trust that gut, trust those downloads." "Every time we moved, I thought: this is a new opportunity. I get to rebrand myself." "I manifested that house. And I looked at my parents and said: Yeah, I made that happen." "I'm a manipulator. But I could just see what everyone needed—and I used my powers for good." "No one is coming to rescue you, Veronica. You have to be this person you keep giving to everyone else." ABOUT VERONICA DIETZVeronica Dietz is a business advisor, brand architect, and founder of Tyche Digital Agency and VD Advisory Group based in Las Vegas. She helps founders stop chasing loud symptoms and start solving the quiet, underlying issues actually driving the problem—using a blend of strategy, psychology, pattern recognition, and what she lovingly calls "damn near psychic discernment."

    E01 Can't Run From the Dead: Embracing Mediumship with Casey Cady

    She saw her first dead person at five years old, grew up being told her gift was demonic, and spent decades trying to outrun something that absolutely refused to leave. Casey Cady is a psychic medium, educator, and mentor based in Rhode Island who helps people connect with their deceased loved ones, navigate life's transitions, and find peace on the other side of grief. But before she built a thriving practice, she spent years hiding her abilities inside an evangelical world where anything outside of Jesus was considered possession. In this episode, Casey shares the winding road that brought her home to herself: seeing spirits as a child, struggling with religious trauma and OCD, running away at eighteen, leaving Christianity, becoming a mother, and the unexpected TikTok that changed everything. Through a live Soul Arc Astrology reading, Laurel reveals the birth chart signatures behind Casey's journey and why the very thing she was taught to fear became the work she was always meant to do.

    E00: Made For This: Reinventing the Zodiac Wheel with Laurel Kassor

    What if your birth chart wasn't something that happened to you — but something that happens through you? Before the guests, before the live readings, before any of it — this is the episode where it all begins. Laurel Kassor pulls back the curtain on the wild, winding, and undeniably chart-confirmed story of how a neurodivergent Aries with a lisp, a World of Warcraft heartbreak, and a download on a street literally called Foresight Drive ended up reinventing the zodiac wheel. You'll hear how a childhood of feeling fundamentally different led to a lifelong obsession with the human experience, how astrology became the skeleton key that unlocked her own self-understanding, and why she built an entirely new system to share what she found.
