    103. Time Passes and We Go With It

    Join us for a journey to the depths where we percolate in the rhythms of change.  We honor the shifting seasons, from equinox to eclipse portal, and explore how these cosmic events shape our inner and outer worlds.  As we steep in the astrological new year and embrace spring’s bloom, we navigate the ebbs and flows of life. Maya shares her experiences with Pluto squaring her sun, embodying the energy of death and rebirth, while Elle grapples with Saturn's influence on her south node, prompting her to move away from what's held her back.  Together, they reflect on how these shifts influence familial and romantic relationships, career paths, and our understanding of self. Time flies, and we confront the fleeting nature of reality, recognizing the illusion of control we often cling to. We discuss the many timelines we live in, the universe’s constant expansion, and the impermanence of everything.  Through the wise words of oracle card pulls, we gain perspective on the month’s themes and revelations. As always, thank you for being part of our sacred listening community.  Your presence is a privilege we hold dear.  Until next time, VORTEX OUT.

    102. Soul Sister Ketchup

    Welcome back to The Vortex, sweetest listener 3 This month’s episode is a little soul sister catch-up (ketchup, get it???)... With two Oracle cards as our launch pad, we cover... - Our favorite go-to midnight snacks. - Our vessels. Specifically, when and how and what tunes us more deeply into these bodies we call home: food, exercise, apps that remind us to breathe (linked below), and more.  - A contemplation on the beauty in meeting extremes, prompted by the second card that came out during the episode, "Fall Into My Arms" from the Starseed Oracle. To experience the highs and the lows gives us valuable perspective and invites gratitude in all seasons of life - even the challenging ones, because they show us what we want to manifest more (and less) of. In this universe where the laws of polarity grace every corner, clarity comes when we can embrace the extremes. We love you! Until next month, VORTEX OUT. Here's the "take a breath before diving into social media" app Elle mentions: https://one-sec.app/ If you feel compelled to take a moment to rate, review, follow, and subscribe to the pod wherever you listen, we would be eternally grateful!

    101. Introverts on Introverts

    Welcome to this month's episode, sweetest listener! Join us as we delve into the depths, per ushe. In this episode, we grapple with the strange fear of actually getting what we want. We ask ourselves the question, "Why does it feel scary to actually GET the thing I've been saying I wanted all this time?" We emphasize the importance of gratitude for the present moment and the acceptance of ourselves in the here and now. Riding the wave of an unexpected tangent, we find ourselves in a fresh introvert chronicle, unraveling the difficulties we face in amplifying our voices in a world that often drowns out the soft and the subtle. We share their mutual challenges in taking up space within social interactions and the frequent instances when our soft-spoken voices go unheard. The conversation touches on the uniquely un-opinionated presence we often bring to our interactions because of the wide spiritual lenses through which we see the world. Thank you for being here as we navigate the twists and turns of the human experience! So much love for you, sweet community, and until next time, VORTEX OUT!

    99. Kyla Romero: Learning From Our Past Selves

    Hi, Vortex fam! This week, Elle's sweet, authentic, and wise soul sister Kyla is back! In this conversation, we explore the art of cultivating a secure attachment style in a world where the only constant is change. We reflect specifically on the dynamic nature of our identities, acknowledging times past when we did NOT embody secure attachment styles, and the relationship challenges that manifested as a result. Thank goddess for the gift of learning from past missteps. We extend an invitation to you, sweetest listener, to contemplate the meaning of secure attachment and emotional availability in your own life. Join us as we grapple with questions like, "What does secure attachment mean to me?" and, "Is healthy detachment synonymous with secure attachment?" To the best of our abilities at our current levels of self-discovery, we share our insights and perspectives on these big concepts with the intention of reaching a more profound understanding of the intricate dance between attachment and detachment in the tapestry of our lives. Thank you for your sacred listening, we love you!!! If you feel compelled to take a moment to rate, review, follow, and subscribe to the pod wherever you listen, we would be eternally grateful!

    98. Q&A with You Part 2: Embodying Divine Feminine, Handling the College Transition, and FRUIT

    We're BACK for Q&A part twoooo! Last week's questions were too juicy and good for us to leave all the rest behind, so today we sit with 3 more of our favorite listener questions and in true vortex fashion, dive into DEEP (like, 30 minutes long kinda deep) contemplations around each one. We speak on: Our advice to someone who is looking to step more into their divine feminine amidst this masculine world. (This answer is nottt what you think it's gonna be). Our advice to someone dealing with the college transition: adjusting, homesickness, and missing family. We dig deep into the vault of nostalgic college memories for this one! Our favorite fruits and what they symbolize to us. We close out this visit to the vortex with a resonant card pull from Kim Kran's Wild Unknown archetype deck. We love you!

    97. A Q&A with You: Balancing 3D and 5D, Death, Triggering People, Self-Worth Without Partnership, and Taylor Swift Songs

    Hi, gorgeous listener! Today, we give you one of our FAVE Q&A sessions in vortex history. Your questions were just *too* good. We are proud of ourselves for getting through 5 out of the nearly 20 submitted! (Don't worry, Part 2 is already in the works.) These are the juicy questions we answer: How does one find the sweet spot between the spiritual and material worlds - or in other words, the 5D and the 3D? Do we think about death often? What are our current contemplations around it? When was the first time we thought about death? How can we be fully, unapologetically ourselves while staying mindful of other people's triggers? (We dig into this one big time by questioning whether others' triggers are our responsibility to begin with. TEA!!!) How do we break the conditioning that worthiness is tied to romantic partnership? Which Taylor Swift song defines the overall vibe of 2023, and which one describes how we're feeling about 2024? Swifties, buckle up! We're so grateful for your amazing submissions. Thank you for co-creating this with us. It means the world. Part 2 is coming soon!

    96. Anchor in the Void: How We're Cultivating Secure Attachment Style

    Hiii, Vortex! Today we're having a big ol' chat about having a secure attachment style to life! (Attachment theory is a psychological concept coined by psychoanalyst John Bowlby in the 1950s which outlines how your bond with your primary caregivers sets the foundation for how you navigate relationships throughout life.) We kick it off by telling you about Maya's current state of exhaustion, and realize real time that it's because her soul is living in three different timelines at once... the present moment, the one where a certain outcome she's waiting to hear about does come to fruition, and the one where it doesn't. Damn. Then, we pop on our psychologist hats and dive into attachment styles as they relate to our current mega life changes and unknowns - emphasizing the secure attachment style we're both striving to embody. Elle then tells us about the Icarus energy she's actively summoning into her life (she's wanting to fly closer to the sun than ever before outside of the comforts of home). We casually pivot to the tattoos we want before two perfect oracle cards summarize this ethereal trip to the Vortex.
