things are changing (do I sound like a broken record yet lol) seasons are changing (even though it still feels hot and like summer doesn't want to end) we are moving into the fall and winter seasons where it is a more inward time...but I think more than anything right now we are craving some intentional rest, good times with friends and family, a chance to reset our nervous systems from things being so intense in the world, community, being able to just let go a little bit more. are you feeling any of these things? what are you navigating right now as we shift into this next season? Virgo season really had me in a place of reassessing what was working for me and what wasn't the last few months. I knew this year would be intense with the fire horse year starting on my actual birthday in February, but I did not know how intense it would be and I definitely had no clue how I would navigate all of the different changes that could come up in a series of months. and I am sure that you are navigating this as well, because as we shift into this last part of the year...it is forcing us to get very crystal freaking clear with what we need to be doing with our lives. a season of surrender but also a season of putting the work in to get to where we want. it can happen for us without us doing our part and I think that is where a lot of people fall off the mark. consistency is difficult if you are not a self starter...and running a business, managing marketing, handling clients one on one, emails, systems, websites...it can be a lot for one person to do. this is another reason of why I created this group. I want us to have more resources to help us through the different stages that we are all collectively going through. whether that is help with our nervous systems or business advice on how to promote yourself and have clients find you, this is the space where we will learn and grow together. with libra season starting this week...the sign of libra is all about balance and exchange with giving and receiving. my invitation for you is to look at how much time you are giving to the outside world (others) versus yourself. do we need to make any changes that can support us as we move forward? do we need to dedicate more time to our passion projects or side hustles to get that creative energy out? are we just really tired with all that we are carrying and need a place to relax?

the realization i’ve been having over the last few days of how necessary it is for us to get aligned on our purpose and lock in to our missions and getting the work done to really put ourselves out there in the world. it’s beginning to feel like we no longer have a choice. our guides, our ancestors and angels have been waiting…and in my recent ceremonies, we are learning that quite a few of our guides are a bit upset with us…delaying our offers, dimming our light, not feeling like we are ready, getting distracted by consuming content instead of creating. i believe we are all creators that come from different life paths with different skills and natural gifts…but one of the biggest tests in life is taking a skill and learning to make money with it. it doesn’t happen overnight. it doesn’t happen by meditating and dreaming about it (although this can help) it doesn’t happen by luck. it happens through consistency. through showing up and staying disciplined when the external reality doesn’t match what you are wanting. and a lot of times, we want to give up or not even bother trying because: 1) too much competition 2) no one is paying attention 3) we don’t think we are good enough 4) too overwhelmed with life 5) it just all seems so hard and where do you begin but in this world where things are changing at a rapid rate and we are being forced to get out of our comfort zones and not always rely on the job market and lean more into creating a life that is more balanced and true to our calling, we have to actually lock in to ourselves. this looks like: investing in yourself. this looks like: being around likeminded people who lift you up. this looks like: taking your multidimensional talents and skills and creating offers that are unique to you. this looks like: ditching the generic AI bs for marketing and actually start being in front of the camera or learning how to create ads that reflect your brand and message this looks like: believing in yourself and executing your vision even when things are not going your way

what doesn’t fit with this pisces lunar eclipse? this eclipse feels like a wake up call. a reminder to stop forcing what no longer makes sense and start getting honest about what actually fits the life you are creating. with the sun and mercury in virgo, we are being asked to come back down to earth. to get grounded. to get clear. to make decisions that actually make sense for us. you can’t save everyone. you can’t keep pouring your energy into everything and everyone. so where have you overextended yourself? where are you realizing, “i can’t keep living this way. i have to become more connected to my priorities.” there may be new conversations, new ideas or new information coming through that helps you see something you didn’t fully understand before. and there is a lot shifting. you may feel the pressure of change without knowing exactly what comes next. but something needs to change. you may not know the next step yet. you may not have the whole plan. but this is asking you to trust what you are feeling and allow yourself to move with it. we are advancing into new ways of living, and that is changing our commitments, our responsibilities and the way we decide what is actually worth our time. what needs to go? what is no longer worth your energy? what do you actually want to retain because it is yours? your ideas. your creativity. your values. your discernment. your ability to think for yourself. and honestly, this feels especially important in a world where ai is becoming such a huge part of our lives. we are being asked to become more mentally engaged with what we are creating, consuming and focusing on. what is actually worth keeping? what is worth continuing to build? what is yours to carry forward? this is about making a new choice. not because you have everything figured out, but because your soul is guiding you toward what is more aligned. sometimes being set free doesn’t feel like freedom at first. sometimes it feels like losing the thing you thought you needed.

i absolutely love connecting people. i think it’s a gift i have to help link people together and i believe a lot of us have these gifts of knowing which people are supposed to meet others in our life. in the last few months, i started popping in and out of different traditional networking groups…at first i wasn’t into it (to be completely honest) it felt so stale and like wow i have to sum myself up in a boxed category in one minute of speaking? so much pressure, i could always feel the nerves of people in the group as they would pitch and just felt like this wasn’t me. but i still kept going because i would get invited and felt like there might be something to this thing. and over time, i also used it as a place to get comfortable with talking about my new business and who i am here to help. one day, it all clicked to me why the people who love being in these groups love it so damn much. it’s because it creates a beautiful ecosystem where you refer people you know with people in the group. it’s like an insider thing…for instance, i know a handyman who helps with home stuff, i know a financial advisor to help with retirement, etc and eventually someone you know needs something and now you have a referral. it kind of also reminds me of how i was able to grow my wedding photography business…i would get close to certain wedding vendors that i liked working with and they would refer me out. more connections, more $$$ it’s not always about money…it’s about building the relationships and connection with others so that everyone wins. i have been sitting on this idea for years now…of building my own version of this networking group to This Modern Collective…bridging together healers, creatives, entrepreneurs, small business owners who want to make meaningful connections AND receive energy tune ups to keep going and keeping your creative channel open. this is what i’m calling: Open Doors: a monthly gathering where we come together to have real conversation, share what we are working on and receive a monthly soundbath tune up from me.
