    September 2026 Tarot Forecast: You’ve Made the Changes. Now What? (Michelle Nolan) - Episode 249

    Can you feel it? There’s a definite shift in the air. After a summer that brought change, movement and, for many of us, some pretty major life moments, September arrives with a very different invitation. So what does that mean for you—and how can you work *with* the energy instead of pushing against it? Our soul sister and Tarot Therapist Michelle Nolan is back to pull the cards for the collective and help us connect the dots between where we’ve been, where we are now and what we need to know as we move into this next part of 2026. And this month, the message feels especially timely. We’re talking about what happens after the big changes. How do you give yourself space to process everything that’s happened while life continues moving forward? When is it time to act—and when might the most powerful thing you can do be to observe, integrate and allow? Michelle walks us through the energy surrounding September and the themes that may show up in our relationships, work, decisions and inner world. There are some important reminders about trusting yourself, staying connected to your heart and recognizing that moving forward doesn’t always have to mean pushing harder. Plus, as always, Michelle helps us look at the month ahead not as something that is predetermined, but as energy and guidance we can use to navigate our own lives with more awareness and intention. Think of this episode as your energetic check-in for September—and maybe the permission slip you didn’t know you needed.

    September 2026 Astrology: What’s Shifting + What You Need to Know (Stevie Calista) - Episode 248

    September is here—and after the big shifts of August, it’s time to integrate, recalibrate, and pay attention to what’s becoming clearer. Intuitive astrologer and cosmic translator Stevie Calista is back to break down the energy of September 2026 and, most importantly, how to actually work with it. The first week of September is one to watch. Jupiter and Saturn are working together to support growth, creativity, and putting energy back into yourself. At the same time, Mars squares Saturn on September 1, asking: What action needs to change because what you’ve been doing isn’t working anymore? Then September 10 brings a major energetic shift with a Virgo New Moon, Venus moving into Scorpio, Mercury entering Libra, and Uranus stationing retrograde. Stevie shares why grounding, slowing down, and practicing discernment will be especially important. Plus, we get into the Autumn Equinox, the emotional Aries Full Moon on September 26, and why the end of the month may finally bring a little more fun, play, and creative fire. Consider September your invitation to integrate before you accelerate. IN THIS EPISODE Why September is a month for integration and clarityWhat to watch during the first week of SeptemberThe major energetic shift happening September 10Why discernment is your September superpowerHow to work with the Aries Full MoonWhat Mars moving into Leo means for the weeks aheadMORE FROM STEVIE CALISTA Visit steviecalista.com to learn more about Stevie, her astrology readings and latest offerings.Subscribe to Stevie on Substack: @farmhousemoonFollow Stevie on Instagram @farmhousemoon Visit seekingcentercommunity.com for more with Robyn + Karen and many of the guides on Seeking Center: The Podcast.

    A Near-Death Experience, Mother Mary + Messages From Beyond (Lori Tierney) - Episode 247

    A near-death experience at just three-and-a-half years old changed the course of Lori Tierney’s life forever. What happened in those few extraordinary moments opened Lori to a spiritual connection that would follow her throughout her life, and ultimately become the foundation for the work she does today. Lori is an intuitive visionary artist, energy healer and soul guide—and a dear friend of Seeking Center. She’s spent decades helping people reconnect with their own intuition, understand the guidance around them and deepen their connection to Spirit. And at the heart of Lori’s journey is a profound relationship with Mother Mary that began during that childhood near-death experience and reawakened years later in ways Lori never could have predicted. In this conversation, we get into the BIG questions: What happens when we leave our bodies? Who or what may be there to help us? How do we know when Spirit is trying to get our attention? And how can we become more open to the guidance that may already be all around us?

    Reimagining Grief: A New Path to Healing After Loss (Kate Doerge) - Episode 246

    One of the hardest truths about being human is this: every single one of us will experience grief. Yet despite how universal loss is, grief can feel incredibly isolating. We often wonder if we're doing it "right," why it still hurts so much, or whether we'll ever truly experience joy again. This week, we're honored to welcome back Kate Doerge—certified grief coach, nonprofit founder, brand strategist, and now the author of the beautiful book, Reimagining Grief: A New Path to Finding Healing, Strength, and Joy After Loss. Kate's story is one of unimaginable loss. Within just a few years, she lost both of her parents, and later experienced every parent's worst nightmare—the death of her sixteen-year-old daughter, Penny. Rather than asking herself, "How do I get over this?" Kate began asking a different question: "Is there another way to walk through grief?" That question became the foundation for her work and her new book. In this deeply moving conversation, Kate challenges many of the beliefs we've been taught about grief and shares a more compassionate, hopeful approach—one that allows us to stay connected to the people we love while continuing to fully live our own lives. Whether you're grieving someone today, supporting a loved one through loss, or simply want to be better prepared for one of life's inevitable experiences, this episode offers wisdom, comfort, and practical tools that remind us we're never truly alone. IN THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS: Why we need to rethink many of our cultural beliefs about griefThe difference between "moving on" and learning to move forwardHow maintaining a continuing bond with someone you've lost can be deeply healingThe five healing actions from Kate's new bookWhy grief isn't something to "fix" or "complete"Finding moments of joy without feeling guiltHow to better support someone who is grievingKate's personal journey after losing her daughter, Penny, and how it inspired her life's workWhy hope and grief can exist togetherMORE FROM KATE DOERGE Book: Reimagining Grief: A New Path to Finding Healing, Strength, and Joy After LossWebsite: katedoerge.comPenny's Flight Foundation: Penny's Flight FoundationIf this episode touched your heart, please consider following our podcast, leaving a review, and sharing it with someone who may need this conversation today. Sometimes the greatest gift we can give someone who is grieving is simply reminding them they are not alone.

    How to Connect with Your Angels, Guides + Intuition (Mark Mezadourian) - Episode 245

    Have you ever had one of those moments where you just knew something? Or maybe you've noticed repeating numbers, meaningful coincidences, or signs that seemed too perfect to ignore. What if those moments aren't random? This week, we're joined by intuitive teacher, healer, and meditation guide Mark Mezadourian, whose work has helped thousands of people reconnect with their intuition, their spiritual guides, and the unconditional love that's always available to us. After a series of life-changing experiences and a profound encounter that led him to call on Archangel Michael, Mark's life took an unexpected turn. For more than two decades, he's explored what it truly means to communicate with angels and guides, helping others discover that intuition isn't a rare gift...it's something we're all born with. Mark reminds us that spirituality isn't about following complicated rules or trying to become someone different. It's about slowing down, creating space, and remembering what we've always had within us. In this conversation, we explore: What angels and spirit guides really are—and why they're available to everyone, regardless of religious backgroundHow Mark's personal journey led him from skepticism to a life devoted to spiritual guidanceThe surprising ways intuition speaks through seeing, hearing, knowing, and feelingWhy asking for help from the spiritual world is more powerful than most of us realizeHow to begin building your own relationship with angels and guides in simple, everyday waysThe role of free will and why guidance is always an invitation—not a predictionWhy guided meditation can help regulate your nervous system, quiet the mind, and make it easier to hear your own inner wisdomHow artists, ancestors, loved ones, and inspiring historical figures can also serve as spiritual guidesPractical ways to recognize signs, synchronicities, and the loving support that's already surrounding youWhether you're completely new to angels or you've been exploring spirituality for years, this conversation is an invitation to look at guidance through a new lens—one that's expansive, empowering, and deeply hopeful. Because perhaps the biggest takeaway is this: you were never meant to navigate life alone.

    August 2026 Astrology Forecast: Eclipse Season, New Beginnings + Becoming Your True Self (Stevie Calista) - Episode 244

    August has arrived—and according to intuitive astrologer Stevie Calista, this isn't just another month. It's one of the most pivotal energetic periods of the year. After July's Mercury retrograde invited us to slow down, reflect, and reset, August accelerates the journey with two powerful eclipses, major planetary shifts, and an invitation to shed old identities in favor of something far more authentic. If you've been feeling like life has been nudging or pushing you toward change, you're not imagining it. In this episode, Stevie walks us through the astrological themes week by week, explaining what each major transit means, where to focus your energy, and how to navigate the month with greater clarity, trust, and intention. IN THIS EPISODE WE COVER: Why August 2026 eclipse season marks a major turning point filled with endings, beginnings, and soul-level course correctionsHow Saturn in Aries continues challenging us to release old identities and discover who we truly areThe meaning of Lammas (Lughnasadh) and why early August is the perfect time to celebrate gratitude, abundance, and the harvest in your own lifeHow Chiron retrograde invites deep healing while helping you recognize just how far you've already comeWhy Venus entering Libra encourages more balance, beauty, connection, and harmony in your relationships and daily lifeWhat it means as Mercury finally leaves its retrograde shadow and begins moving into new territoryHow Mercury in Leo inspires creativity, confidence, self-expression, and reconnecting with your inner childWhy Mars entering Cancer asks us to slow down, nurture ourselves, tend to home and family, and reconnect with our emotional rootsThe significance of the August 12 Solar Eclipse in Leo and how it may close important chapters while opening your heart to a new version of yourselfWhy this eclipse is less about forcing outcomes—and more about trusting where your soul is already leading youThe caution around Mars square Neptune, and why it's important to avoid making emotionally reactive decisions during the third week of the monthWhat Virgo season brings as we transition into healthier routines, organization, productivity, and grounded momentumHow the Mercury cycle reaches an important midpoint, offering an opportunity to reflect, refine, and adjust projects or ideas that began in JulyThe meaning of the August 28 Pisces Lunar Eclipse, and why surrender, intuition, and trusting the unknown become your greatest strengthsWhy 2026 continues to feel like a year of brand-new territory—and how to embrace the uncertainty instead of resisting itThroughout the conversation, Stevie reminds us that astrology is a powerful tool for understanding the larger cycles unfolding in our lives, helping us work with the energy instead of against it. If August feels intense, know that you're not alone. This month's astrology is inviting all of us to release what no longer fits, reconnect with our hearts, and step into a more authentic version of ourselves—one choice at a time.

    Family Constellations: The Hidden Family Patterns That May Be Shaping Your Life (Alex Carabi) - Episode 242

    What if some of the struggles you're experiencing didn't actually begin with you? We recently experienced something unlike anything they'd ever encountered—a Family Constellation session with coach, therapist, trauma practitioner, and facilitator Alex Carabi. To say it left us changed would be an understatement. In this fascinating conversation, Alex pulls breaks down Family Constellation work, a powerful healing modality that explores the unconscious patterns, loyalties, and emotional burdens that can be passed through families for generations. Whether it's anxiety, relationship challenges, self-sabotage, or an unexplainable feeling of carrying something "that isn't yours," this work offers an entirely new way of understanding yourself. Alex's unique approach combines developmental trauma therapy, systemic healing, embodiment, relational wisdom, and mysticism. His signature double-blind constellation process is particularly remarkable...participants don't know who or what they're representing, yet hidden family dynamics consistently emerge with surprising accuracy. In this episode, you'll discover: What Family Constellation work actually is—and what it isn'tHow unresolved family trauma and unconscious loyalties can be passed down through generationsWhy you may be carrying emotional burdens that didn't originate with youThe fascinating "double-blind" constellation process and why it often leaves people speechlessHow trauma, love, belonging, and family systems are deeply interconnectedWhy healing isn't about changing the past, but finally seeing it clearlyHow bringing hidden dynamics into the light can create profound shifts in your present lifeThis conversation stretches the boundaries of how we think about healing, family, and human connection. Whether you're brand new to Family Constellations or have been curious about this work for years, Alex explains the practice in a grounded, accessible way that makes even its most mysterious moments easier to understand.
