This year has been one of the most challenging yet eye-opening years of my life.

In this episode, I get real about my journey through health struggles, ancestral patterns, and deep shadow work that forced me to slow down and truly listen. I’ve spent much of 2024 navigating a Saturn-in-the-6th-house transit, which has brought up questions about what’s beneath the pain, both karmically and ancestrally.

I’m sharing my personal story of reckoning with discomfort, unlearning unhealthy regulation patterns, and finding the roots of what’s been holding me back for decades. From grief and stagnation to moments of clarity and breakthroughs, this episode is about uncovering the lessons hidden in the shadows.

If this year knocked you down too, you’re not alone. Together, let’s reflect on the sacred lessons that 2024 has brought us and explore how we can honour the discomfort while preparing for the rebirth that awaits in 2025.

The reason I wanted to share this story with you was so you could see…

• The importance of embracing life’s deviations and finding grace in them.

  
  



• Recognizing and breaking inherited patterns, especially those rooted in avoidance or unhealthy regulation tools.

  
  



• How avoidance only leads to pain and underneath the escapism is what you’ve been looking for.

  
  



• What you will find when you start listening to your higher self, the universe, and come back to love

  
  

The reason I feel it is so important for me to share my story with you is because I need you to know that if you’ve had a hard year - you’re not alone. And if you’re moving through a process of unearthing years of karmic patterns, and ancestral pain points - I am here to walk with you, help you, and support you with this movement. 

Astrology, energy work, learning, and a growth mind are what keep me moving through some of life’s most intense moments and I want you to walk this path with me.

Lots of love,

Vika
