Realist Idealist Astra Gaia

Astra's mom always says, "It's all a phrase." Join us today as Astra shares the pep talk she regularly gives herself when she finds herself in one of those quiet, reflective phrases that often goes unappreciated in our product, output driven society. 

Join us for a bonus episode!   We are very excited to be bringing you a tarot reading of February 2021.  It's a little bit reading and a lot of sound advice. 

Join us today for episode 7 where Astra will consider some of the messy thoughts we have around problems and our reactions to them and how often we even consider what's what.  But by teasing out this dynamic interplay, we can bring agency back to our lives.  Enjoy!

Welcome back to the Realist Idealist!  After an unplanned hiatus, we are back with this blast from the past.  This is one of Astra's audio recordings originally taken back in 2014; yet the message is still relevant today.  Join us as we reminisce and remember for the first time the advantages of moving with energy rather than effort and reflect on the power of thought.   

Welcome to the Realist Idealist and welcome to the second part of the Activism series.  If you missed the first Activism episode, feel free to go back and check out episode 1.  No need to go in order though, this episode is plenty valuable as a stand-alone episode.  Join me as we talk about some of the hard realities of stepping in our power and address some of the feelings that keep us from doing so in the first place or keep us from committing to our new-found powerful selves.  

This episode highlights the word "entitlement," but we we look beyond that to explore the morphing and shifting of words in our language and in our culture.  How do language shifts affect us and the way we speak and what we speak about?  Why should we become aware of these shifts?
