    April 2026 Tarot Forecast: The Shift Is Here—Now What? (Michelle Nolan) - Episode 225

    After a whirlwind March that pushed, stretched, and maybe even shook you a little…April arrives with a different energy—and a big exhale. Intuitive tarot therapist Michelle Nolan is back to guide us through what’s unfolding now—and spoiler alert: this is the month where things start to make sense. The clarity, the nudges, the uncomfortable growth? It’s all leading somewhere. In this episode, we’re breaking down the energetic shift into April, what the cards are revealing, and how you can move forward with more trust, intention, and alignment (even if you’re still a little nervous). If March felt like the ride…April is where you find your footing again. And maybe—just maybe—start to trust where you’re being led.

You have the reference now—you can see the fear instead of being in it. - Michelle Nolan WORK WITH MICHELLE Email her at m@mtnolan.comFollow her at @m1che11e.no1an Visit seekingcentercommunity.com for more with Robyn + Karen and many of the guides on Seeking Center: The Podcast.

  2. April 2026 Astrology Forecast: This Month Changes Everything (Stevie Calista) - Episode 224

    4D AGO

    April 2026 Astrology Forecast: This Month Changes Everything (Stevie Calista) - Episode 224

    If March felt like a push-pull…April is where things finally start to move. In this episode, intuitive astrologer Stevie Calista is back to break down the energy of April 2026—and let’s just say…this month is not subtle. We kick things off with a Full Moon in Libra on April 1, bringing a spotlight to relationships, balance, and the dynamic between “me” and “we.” This is about getting honest with yourself about what feels aligned, what doesn’t, and where something needs to shift. At the same time, we’re all operating under the influence of Uranus in Taurus, which Stevie reminds us affects everyone. This is the deeper layer of the month—the part that’s quietly (or not so quietly) shaking up your sense of stability, your values, and what you thought was “secure.” And here’s the game-changer: There are no retrogrades in April. None. Everything is moving forward. Add in Mars moving into Aries—a sign it rules—and suddenly we’re out of that stuck, treading-water feeling and into action, momentum, and “figure it out as you go” energy. This month may feel fast. It may feel activating. It may even feel a little uncomfortable at times. But as Stevie reminds us, that tension—especially in moments like the Venus-Pluto square—is what creates real change. Bottom line: You’re not meant to stay where you were. April is here to move you forward—whether you feel ready or not. If you’ve been feeling stuck…this is where things start to shift. Get the scoop on what’s really going on, and how to work with it. ABOUT STEVIE CALISTA Stevie Calista is an intuitive astrologer who blends ancient wisdom with real-life practicality. Known for her grounded, soul-centered approach, Stevie helps people understand their charts, the collective energy, and how to navigate life with more clarity, confidence, and self-trust.

    The Practice That Works When Nothing Else Can (Oneika Mays) - Episode 223

    This week's guest lives at the intersection of real life and deep inner work. Meet Oneika Mays, a meditation teacher, yoga instructor, and the author of Sit With Me, A No BS Journey to Mindfulness and Meditation. It is a book that honestly says what so much of wellness culture quietly ignores. Meditation isn't for the calm. It's for the messy. It's a your-life-cracked open, and now what? kind of book. For nearly 15 years, Oneika has been teaching mindfulness and loving kindness. From yoga studios and hospitals to spaces, most teachers have never entered, like Rikers Island Correctional Facility. She's helped people who'd been told they didn't deserve care, discover something radical, they could be kind to themselves. Her work centers around accessibility, compassion, and real world practice, not perfection. And her book is part memoir, part guidebook, all about showing up exactly as you are. Not more zen, not calmer, just you. And her passion for this work comes from her own experience. When her own life shattered through personal tragedy, mindfulness and yoga became part of her survival. So unpack love and kindness with us. The no BS of meditation and why these practices are for everybody, not just for the peaceful ones. It's time for you to sit with Oneika Mays.

    You can look successful on the outside—and still feel like something is missing. Meet Erin Coupe, founder of Authentically EC, former Wall Street executive, international speaker, and author of I Can Fit That In: How Rituals Transform Your Life. On the outside, Erin had the life many people dream of—career success, a loving family, and constant professional recognition. But just before her 36th birthday, she found herself asking a question that many high achievers quietly carry inside: “How can this be it?” That moment sparked a powerful awakening that led Erin to discover a transformative concept: the difference between routines and rituals. Instead of piling more productivity hacks onto an already overwhelming schedule, Erin began shifting from rigid routines to intentional rituals—small, meaningful practices that reconnect you with your energy, purpose, and authentic self. In this conversation, we explore how rituals can rewire your brain, support emotional and mental well-being, and help high-performing professionals move from burnout and autopilot to clarity and fulfillment. If you’ve ever felt successful on the outside but disconnected on the inside, this episode will give you practical tools to design a life that actually fuels you.

    March 2026 Tarot Forecast: From Chaos to Course Correction (Michelle Nolan) - Episode 220

    February was intense. If it felt like the Universe hit the accelerator on change, you weren’t imagining it. Intuitive tarot therapist Michelle Nolan returns to break down the energy of March and what the cards reveal about the next phase of this powerful cycle. After February’s shake-ups, March asks us to do something many of us resist: move forward even when we’re not completely sure what’s waiting on the other side. Michelle explains how the energy is shifting from upheaval to clarity, integration, and intentional action. The door to the next chapter is opening—but walking through it requires courage, trust, and a willingness to release old patterns that have been holding us back. We also talk about why so many people are feeling the push to close out lingering cycles, how fear often shows up right before a breakthrough, and why learning to trust your intuition is more important than ever right now. If February felt like chaos, March is about understanding what it was all trying to show you—and deciding what comes next. In this episode, we cover: Why February’s intense energy may have felt like a cosmic push forwardThe symbolism of “the door closing behind you” and why going back isn’t an option anymoreWhat the March tarot cards reveal about clarity, momentum, and course correctionWhy fear often appears right before a major breakthroughThe importance of trusting your intuition when you’re stepping into the unknownHow to work with March’s energy instead of resisting itThe patterns many of us are finally being asked to release Michelle also shares practical guidance on how to navigate the month with more confidence, stay grounded when emotions run high, and co-create the next chapter of your life with intention, intuition, and heart.

    March is here — and the energy is undeniable. We’re in eclipse season. Mercury is retrograde.

Pisces dissolves. Aries ignites. You may feel tired and wired. Restless yet reflective. Ready for something new… but unsure what that is. This month isn’t about forcing clarity. It’s about honoring the threshold. We cover: What Saturn + Neptune at zero degrees Aries really meansWhy this energy feels both exhausting and electricHow eclipse season amplifies fate and turning pointsWhy Mercury retrograde is actually helping youPractical ways to ground yourself during this massive resetThis is zero-point energy. Newborn energy. A cosmic rebirth moment. If you’ve been feeling the shift — you’re not imagining it.

    Stop Waiting, Start Living: Creating a To-Die-For Life (Karen Salmansohn) - Episode 218

    What if the secret to truly living… is remembering you’re going to die? We know — that sounds intense. But stay with us. We’re joined by the brilliant, funny, and refreshingly real Karen Salmansohn — multi–bestselling author, behavioral change expert, and founder of NotSalmon.com, whose work has helped millions of people live happier, higher-potential lives. Robyn first met Karen years ago at Oprah, where she quickly became known for her ability to make deep spiritual wisdom feel modern, accessible — and yes, even funny. She blends psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, and humor in a way that makes you lean in instead of tune out. In her newest book, Your To-Die-For Life, Karen introduces the powerful concept of mortality awareness — not to be morbid, but to wake us up. Because nothing will motivate you to seize the day quite like realizing your days are numbered. In this episode, we talk about: Why remembering you will die can be the greatest productivity + purpose hackHow to stop “ripping the covers off” self-help and finally own your growthThe psychology behind procrastination (and how mortality snaps you out of it)Letting go of the nonsense that keeps you smallHow to design a life that feels deeply aligned and meaningfulThe difference between being busy… and being truly aliveKaren shares how she blends research with humor (think Psychology Today + Mad Magazine in a blender), why self-help needed a rebrand, and how to create what she calls a “to-die-for life.” This conversation is funny. It’s practical. It’s motivating in the best way. And it might just be the loving nudge you didn’t know you needed. Because if you’re listening to this… it’s no accident. It’s time to wake up.
