I can’t get enough of this podcast! There’s something very special about the way Isa is able to both hold space for the stories of her guests while also threading in her astrological mastery. I deeply appreciate how she doesn’t shy away from difficult truths and find myself always wanting to play another episode. Healing, refreshing and magical. Thank you!
THE BEST!

Have you ever listened to a podcast and thought to yourself, “Man it would be cool if I could be a guest on that show!” Well this is the show that’s on the top of my list. So fun to hear Isa’s analyses and also to hear the guest’s excitement and resonance with what she’s reflecting to them. Lots of hoity toity words just to say this is a fantastic podcast and I look forward to listening, even when my sign isn’t being discussed! I’m not a Leo, after all :) Shots fired! Scorpio Sun - Cap Moon - Taurus Rising, yo! ✨

I can’t say enough good things about this show. Isa’s hosting is intentional and kind, and every guest has been a delight to learn of or learn more about. Isa’s adept knowledge paired with her accessible approach to astrology makes it easy to follow and understand, and provides a space that allows the guests to understand themselves differently, and sometimes better. Plus, Isa’s takeaways every week are always poignant, whether it’s astrology homework for the listeners or thoughtful context around the use of astrology over time. I started keeping a list because they were all so good to know!
Looove!!
