Hi Blue Hearts! This week, Momma got taken down by C0VID and needed a little time to catch up. No full episode this week, but wow, does this five minutes pack a punch! This episode is from my monthly video newsletter (link below to sign up). I send a new energy reading out every month, designed specifically for YOU. I'll be back next week with all the post-eclipse wisdom you can handle! And more practical action steps to keep you moving closer to your most aligned life. But for now - enjoy all that October has in store for you. October is an invitation to notice the old stories that are still echoing in your mind; these “declarative statements” about what’s possible, who you are, or what you should be. October is the season of shedding. This month, ask your higher self: “What story am I carrying that was never truly mine? What would open up if I let it go?”Write down those statements you’ve caught yourself repeating. Where did they come from? Does it still serve you? Allow the page to hold what you’re ready to release, so you can move into the season lighter, clearer, and more aligned with your own truth. Tune out, tune in.

Perfect for creators, busy parents, and anyone tired of staring at a vision board while procrastination quietly wins.
