    FEB 1

    Talking Smack 415 February 2026 Energetic Forecast: Maia's Take

    February is here and in Talking Smack 415’s Energetic Forecast: Maia’s Take it’s a continuation.  We’re still moving through the energy of 2025 and carrying January with us… until things begin to shift mid-month, right in alignment with the Lunar New Year. The energy of Feb is all about:   Presence  Paying attention.  Returning—again and again—to now. February asks us to deepen (or begin) a meditation or centering practice, because staying grounded isn’t automatic—it’s a practice. And it’s on us to keep coming back to center.The tarot card pulled for the month is Adjustment—which symoblizes balance, equilibrium, and recalibration.  This is the first time that there were three animals:   The Peacock — a Buddhist symbol of transforming poison into medicine, reminding us to alchemize the bad into good.  The BluebirdThe Blue Butterfly And since they’re all  blue—the color of  the month is blue.  Blue symbolizes spiritual and intellectual powers and it’s the color of the throat chakra.  We need to be present his month and think before we speak.    We also share our words for the year, which we didn’t have in January.   Jamie’s is PresenceDebbie’s is PowerMaia’s is CreativityListen, subscribe, share, rate, and review.   Share this episode with your friends and family who love to laugh.

  2. Talking Smack 415 2026 Energetic Forecast: Maia's Take

    JAN 7

    Talking Smack 415 2026 Energetic Forecast: Maia's Take

    Happy New Year and welcome to Talking Smack 415’s 2026 Energetic Forecast: Maia’s Take. We love that 2026 arrives with a very low tolerance for BS, and Jamie the Great, Maia, and I are already feeling it. This year is all about shedding, cleansing, and letting go—of people, patterns, places, and habits that drain you instead of replenish you. Think of it as an energetic detox for your life. Important timing note: January 2026 acts as an extended transition month—a continuation of 2025. You’re being given a final window to release what no longer serves you. The true energetic new year doesn’t fully kick in until February 2026, and when it does? It’s clean. It’s fresh. It’s different. Spirit Animal of the Year: The Frog Frog energy represents cleansing, renewal, and rebirth. Water is medicine this year—whether that’s swimming, cold plunging, baths, or simply being near water. Anything that helps you wash it off matters. Tarot Energy: The Fool The first card up signals new beginnings, fresh starts, and bold leaps of faith. The Fool asks you to trust the jump—even before you can see the landing. Color of the Year: Green Green shows up everywhere—frog energy, spring energy, heart-chakra energy. And yes, even being green with envy holds wisdom this year. Envy can act as a compass, pointing you toward what your heart truly wants. Let it guide you—not consume you or bring you down. Numerology Check-In We’ve just completed a 9-year cycle. 2026 is a 1 year—the energy of initiation, leadership, and starting over. This year is going to feel totally different, which is kind of the point. We’re beginning again. If you’re ready to release what’s not aligned, trust your heart as a GPS, and step into what’s next with clarity and courage—this forecast is your roadmap. Tune in, scrub it off, and let 2026 be the year you meet the real you. PS: Ten years ago, in 2016, I created an art installation called The Shedding. Apparently, the universe loves a long callback.

    Family: Jamie the Great’s Nephew Shai Gilmore on Being Raised by the Green–Roseman Crew

    In this episode of Talking Smack 415, Jamie the Great and I sit down with someone very special: Jamie’s nephew… but also kind of her son… brother… all rolled into one — Shai Gilmore. Shai’s story blends resilience, humor, and the fierce love that only family  can provide. He takes us back to when he was about 4 years old in Florida, where his Pop-Pop stepped in when life got complicated. Shai opens up about:  Growing up with a mother in recovery Losing his father to a car accident Realizing, at just 4 years old, that “something wasn’t right” Becoming everyone’s favorite Green (sorry, Jamie) Navigating identity with a different last name High school chaos, college radio, and  pranks  What it felt like when he supported Jamie while she battled cancer It’s sweet. It’s funny. It’s a little messy.  And above all — it’s a reminder that family is family is family. We’re launching this episode for the holidays because Shai’s name literally means “gift.” So here it is: the gift of Shai — his laughter, love, and light — for your holiday season. Whether you’re in the Bay Area, Florida, New Jersey, or navigating your own family story, this episode is for you. Grab your earbuds or hop in the car and press play.   Share this episode with your friends and family who love to laugh.

    Talking Smack 415 December's Energetic Forecast: Maia's Take

    December is here and when Jamie the Great and I sit down with Maia in Talking Smack’s 415 Energetic forecast Maia’s take, we learn it’s giving  “horse sprinting at full speed” energy… but the actual message? Slow. Down. The year flew by, the holidays are chaos, and it’s tempting to keep galloping so you don’t have to feel your feelings — but nope. December wants you to pause and actually process the good, the hard, and the “WTF was that?” moments. Maia says this quote is MLK but it may actually be Pittak Elk says: “It’s the bumps that help you climb.” Every bumpy moment this year was you leveling up.  New level, new devil — but also new power.  Tarot Card: The Sun… AGAIN The Sun card popped up again this month, which means the universe is like: “Did you get the message or do I need to say it again?” Themes: creativityjoyclaritywishes coming truestepping into your actual magicIf you shrugged it off last month… December is doubling down. Rumi Moment Rumi’s The Guest House is the vibe: Let all the emotions in. Even the uninvited ones. They’re messengers, not punishments. Flower of the Month: White Lily Purity. Grace. Rebirth.  A soft reset for your whole system. TL;DR December Energy Slow down enough to actually feel thingsReflect without judging yourselfHonor the bumps — they built your strengthCreativity + joy = front and centerRebirth energy is loadingYou’re ending 2025 wiser, louder, and way more you Share this episode with your friends and family who love to laugh.

The first half of November may feel messy and inconvenient, but this disruption is good. It’s clearing the path so the dust can settle in a way that’s far more aligned with your purpose. Once the storm passes, the vibe shifts. Maia pulled the Sun Tarot card — which is her favorite and symbolizes that creativity, wish fulfillment, and radiant joy take center stage. November’s message is about creative transformation, sacral chakra activation, and reconnecting with your inner power. Symbolism highlights: Flower: Orange Chrysanthemum — passion, resilience, and joyChakra: Sacral — creation, flow, sensuality ( plies it’s orange too)Spirit Animal: Elephant — wisdom, prosperity, and removing obstacles Remember this month, when you’re in the middle of shake up it’s for the good.

    October's Energetic Forecast: Maia's Take

    In this episode, Jamie the Great and I chat with Maia as she breaks down the October 2025 energy forecast — exploring how to move with purpose, embrace new beginnings, and refresh your spirit. October’s energy feels like a quiet new beginning. Even though we’re moving into fall, the month carries a spring-like renewal — soft, feminine, and deeply intentional. It’s about surrendering and allowing, letting things unfold naturally. ⚡️ Number of the Month: 1  October is a 1 month in numerology, symbolizing fresh starts and new cycles — amplifying themes of renewal and possibility.  We chat about: New beginnings through endings (after September’s closures)Feminine, quiet, and internal energySlowing down to speed upMoving methodically with thought and intentionA gentle “fall refresh” — like a spring clean, but softer⚡️ Jewish New Year 5786  When you add it all together (5+7+8+6 = 26 → 2+6 = 8), the number is 8: abundance! ⚡️ Tarot Card: Ace of Cups  The overflowing cup — a reminder to give love freely and watch it flow back to you. ⚡️ Spirit Animal: Frog  The frog carries water energy, representing cleansing and emotional release. Cleansing isn’t just about your space or body — it’s about letting go of people, habits, and energies that no longer light you up. It can be as simple as a bath, a shower, or connecting with natural water. (Jamie and I are all about the ocean!) And finally — Happy Birthday to all the Libras out there! I’m one of you too.
