After a lengthy ramble to bring y’all up to speed on my life in general (chaos, coworking, and derailed plans), we get into my current fixation: pendulums. Reality Transurfing. Energy parasites. Chakra shadows. Frequency traps. Detachment as a hack. More Sleeping Phoenix era intel. Sovereign energy. Same shit, different point on the spiral.

Welcome to season 5, where we kick off with an episode in three parts: the unraveling, the reckoning, and the emergence. Performative conditioning. Grief. Sound baths and city council skullduggery. Authenticity and letting my Aries Mercury flag burn in the town square. Revolution to resolution. Let’s get into it. *Note: I play fast and loose with using Mercury in Aries and Aries in Mercury interchangeably in this episode. I know that’s not right, but it stays.

What if the real power move isn’t fighting the system but ignoring it into oblivion? Spoiler alert: it dies without the energy we give it. More hot takes on why protesting is overrated, why both political parties are flaming dumpster fires, and how divesting your attention is the ultimate rebellion. We’re talking personal sovereignty, the illusion of control, and how to stop funding systems that don’t serve you. Plus, why your higher self might just be watching you like a cosmic reality show (an...

Welcome to the episode that might land me on some lame watchlist if I’m not there already! Let’s talk about systems breaking down, systemic operational failures of governmental institutions, the TikTok ban (this was recorded before the platform went down and came back up fully under oligarchical control), quietly quitting as a means of revolution, disengaging from top-heavy structures (there’s even a shoutout to Cap One and this was recorded PRIOR to their recent very public f*ck up), and oligar...

Buckle up, friends—this one’s a long ride, but we’re covering some solid territory. Think 2025 themes like boundaries (yes, again), censorship taking a hike, innovation, spiritual glow-ups, and finally having the ability to step into flow without face-planting. We’re also diving into the professional use of intuition—what it looks like and why it matters. Spoiler alert: this year, inner vision and discernment are non-negotiable.

The first of two episodes breaking down what’s in store for 2024 from an astrology perspective. Pro tip: grab a notebook and a pen and jot down notes for each month so you can refer to them as you map out your year. In our experience, these things are scarily accurate and when you have a feel for the energy each month—the themes, the alignments, etc.—it can be a huge help in softening those tower moments!
