Hi All! I’m going to reduce my show notes length because the transcripts contains all the details. So, this week here’s what we cover and the podcast contains the in-depth information you need. Thanks for listening!

My 1:1 coaching focuses on meeting people at the point where they’ve experienced a life storm, one of those uncomfortable plot twists, or just a time when things aren’t quite working out anymore, and helping them reconstruct, and even build their life back better than it was before. There’s a process I teach that is all about building the life you can’t wait to wake up to and it all starts here.
I offer individual sessions, 6-week programs, 3-month programs, and 6-month programs. The length you need is determined by the storm you’re encountering and what your goals are in terms of shaping your next steps. I typically determine this in a free 20-minute call I always have with clients before we work together.

Big energies for the week ahead:
Pluto is retrograde as of yesterday, May 4th.
This tracks with the energies of Kabbalah. We’re a little more than halfway through this very powerful 6-week period of the year.
2025 continues to be a year of stripping down to our truest selves, our essence, our most authentic, unique way of being. This tracks with it being the year of the Wood Snake in Chinese astrology, the shedding of the skin is necessary for the snake to grow.
Generally speaking, this a week with NO full moons or new moons or eclipses, so there will be just a little more harmony for all, which will feel good. This a good week to view as “go time” because it will yield good results.
Horizontal Integration of the Energy This Week:
So, all the storms we’ve been experiencing as a collective and in our personal lives courtesy of Pluto’s move, and Neptune’s move, and eclipse season have been a lot to handle.
You’ve likely been forced to shed some old skins and that’s okay.
In this new era, your authenticity, your vibe - the energy you transmit into the world through your thoughts, words, and actions - is your most valuable asset. The sooner you lean into it, the easier this year will be for you.
We have to strengthen our inner scaffolding rather than just rely on outer scaffolding. This is not only a question of learning to trust ourselves more deeply, and listen to our intuition, it’s also a call to have faith in a higher power, even without the proof that this is all for our highest good.
This is why I want the theme this week: Expansion
Take the relatively harmonious energies of the week and lean into expanding our minds, our consciousness, and truly establishing our spiritual and practical lives - the intersection of the vertical and horizontal - more strongly than ever before.
Four Things to Focus on for Expansion This Week:
Mind-Heart Coherence: I discuss what this is and how to a strong, smooth flow between your mind and heart is key.
Play a fun mind game where you are the higher version of yourself, the one living in the life you can’t wait to wake up to, and make decisions from that place. How does this person think, act, feel?
Spiritual connection: Always leave room for spirit in your week! When you create your connection, ask for guidance and pay attention. Ask yourself, do you believe in magic and miracles?
Productive action: Pair your strong mind-heart coherence, your higher self, and your spiritual connection with that strong belief in miracles and take action.
I’ve seen notes around saying 5/5 is a special portal, but I don’t know. I encourage you to not get too swept up into micro alignments and just pay attention to a time-period in the year that has a lot to offer in terms of growth.
Trust yourself and be well.
I’m holding the light for you.
Let’s have a good week!
I blend spiritual insights with grounded service to help you reconstruct life after a storm so you can build a life you can’t wait to wake up to.
Storms happen, but you never have to be stuck in the messy aftermath. Your life can be meaningful and fulfilling; you’re meant to live happily and with ease. It’s my mission to empower you with this truth.
