Here’s the truth: people respond to the story your body is already broadcasting. If your self-concept says “I’m not worthy of love,” you’ll unconsciously emanate that belief and attract experiences that confirm it. When you shift your self-concept — at the level of your nervous system, not just your thoughts — you emanate something different. And others respond.Go deeper with us in Weavers, Pt. I. We'd love to have your presence in our group.

In this episode of our Marketing Medicine series, we explore Mercury in Libra and how this Venus-ruled energy transforms the way we communicate our values and create space for authentic expression. Libra isn't just about balance—it's about justice, fairness, and honoring the multiplicity of perspectives while staying true to your own vision.When Mercury moves through Libra, we're invited to examine how we show up in our marketing and communication. Are we falling into patterns of over-justification, people-pleasing, or over-caretaking of people's feelings? Are we diluting our message to avoid any possibility of conflict or discomfort?Mercury in Libra offers us a different path: diplomatic truth-telling. This is about shifting from communication designed to keep people around to communication that serves the greater vision you're here for. Sometimes we sacrifice that vision to maintain our audience size, afraid of unsubscribes and unfollows when we get clearer about our offerings.But here's the truth this transit reveals: the clearer you get, the more certain people will naturally filter out—and those are the wrong people. The ones just around for entertainment won't resonate when you start sharing your work more directly. Meanwhile, the people truly here for your offerings will lean in deeper.We'll explore how Libra season, beginning with the autumn equinox, creates natural opportunity for relational refinement—examining which connections feed and support you and which ones don't. This is powerful timing for cleanup around your communication patterns.Mercury in Libra shows us how to create this clarity with grace, maintaining diplomatic nature while being increasingly direct about our values and vision. We can honor the multiplicity in our audience while staying authentic to our own expression.This episode is perfect for anyone who's been over-explaining their work, softening their edges to avoid pushback, or wondering how to communicate their truth without alienating their community. Learn how polarization actually creates a cleaner, more aligned field around your work.

Most of what we’re told about manifestation sounds like magical thinking — wish lists, vision boards, good vibes only. But reality doesn’t shift because you beg the universe.

In this episode, we dive deep into Mercury in Virgo and what it means for how we show up in our marketing and digital communication. As Mercury shifts into Virgo, we're invited to reconsider everything about how we communicate our work.Host Daje Aloh gets vulnerable about her own social media burnout and the exhaustion of feeling like she's "walking into a really crazed marketplace where everyone is yelling and throwing things at you." She shares her journey of questioning whether staying on Instagram is actually serving her business or her soul, and how Mercury in Virgo is helping her reimagine her entire digital philosophy.Virgo isn't the hypervigilant perfectionist we often think of—she's the archetype of the goddess who chooses herself, who's all about wholeness, health, and intellectual sovereignty. In our current digital landscape where there's so much distortion, working with Mercury in Virgo means cleansing and protecting our minds for the sake of our own wholeness and resilience.We'll explore how to shift from creating content for content's sake to sharing from the deep well with specific purpose—not feeding algorithms but nourishing your own internal ecosystems. This is about communicating with self-containment and care, trusting what wants to come through you instead of forcing yourself to follow scripts that have nothing to do with your soul's evolution or your financial freedom.Whether you're feeling called to go deeper into social media or exploring ways to off-ramp from platforms that feel extractive, this episode offers compelling questions about reimagining what marketing can be. How can we engage marketing as spiritual practice that serves not just our business goals, but our deeper purpose in the world?If you're navigating social media burnout or questioning your relationship with digital marketing, this episode will give you permission to recalibrate and experiment with new ways of sharing your work that honor your creativity and essence.

In this episode, we dive deep into the upcoming Full Moon Eclipse in Pisces, occurring in Gate 63—the Gate of Doubt. But this isn't about doubt as we typically understand it. This gate is calling into question everything we think we know and inviting us to break into new awareness and consciousness.In our culture, we worship clarity and certainty. We rush to fix doubt, get coaching, find answers. But what if doubt is actually medicine? What if our obsession with knowing is keeping us from truth itself?This eclipse is actively obscuring what we think we can see clearly, creating fog around our certainty, spiritual concepts, and future plans. And that's exactly what's supposed to happen. Sometimes our knowing needs to be deconstructed so we can find our way back to source—what Clarissa Pinkola Estés calls "the río abajo río," the river beneath the river.We'll explore how relationship serves as the mirror showing us what we don't know about ourselves and others, why this eclipse is asking us to evolve our understanding of love, intimacy, boundaries, and connection, and how to work with doubt as a pathway to deeper truth rather than paralysis.If you're deconstructing your relationship with spirituality, social media, politics, or community—if you're feeling the "spiritual ick"—this episode is for you. You're not falling apart; you're waking up.Resources Mentioned:Weavers, IThe Worldbuilding SchoolChapter 10 of Women Who Run with Wolves by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola EstesTheory of Everything by Ken Wilbur

What if the reason you're struggling to build your business isn't because you're doing something wrong, but because you're trying to do someone else's thing?In this episode, we dive deep into what I call the crisis of personal mythology—how our culture's obsession with homogenization is literally making us sick. We explore why one-size-fits-all business strategies are a form of spiritual violence, and how business astrology offers a revolutionary alternative.You'll discover why your business has its own soul and astrological DNA, how to work with your unique creative operating system instead of against it, and why understanding your individual blueprint is the key to building sustainable success without burning out.This isn't just another business strategy—it's a call to remember that there are as many right ways to succeed as there are people walking this earth.What You'll Learn:Why "proven" business formulas often fail (and leave you feeling broken)The unconscious violence of forcing everyone into the same success templateHow your natal chart reveals your authentic path to prosperityWhat business astrology is and why it's essential for conscious entrepreneursThe difference between replication and education in the business worldWhy your business deserves its own astrological readingHow to stop trying to be like everyone else and start being more like yourselfLinks Mentioned:Book a Business Astrology Reading

In this episode, we step into Virgo Season: a time often mistaken for perfectionism and productivity, but at its core, about integrity, rhythm, and alignment. With eclipses and the South Node activating Virgo, we’re being asked to release old habits of nitpicking, over-managing, and organizing ourselves around other people’s standards.I share how Virgo Season invites us to keep creating even when things feel messy or unfinished, to honor grief as part of our creative intelligence, and to build systems that actually support us in a world that is unraveling. We’ll explore what it means to continue believing in your vision in the midst of global crises, and how Virgo teaches us to craft with precision and care rather than performance.
