À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
What does it look like to claim your power in the middle of the mess? In this month’s July Insights conversation, K. Margaret and I are sitting down to reflect on what this midpoint of the year is asking of us — and what it might be asking of you.
We’re talking about the volcano effect: how the most destructive-looking seasons in our lives are often laying the most fertile ground for what’s coming. We talk about the summer solstice as an invitation to pause, honestly assess what you’ve been growing, and recalibrate toward what actually lights you up now — not the dusty goals that no longer feel juicy.
We also dig into what it means to take action before you feel ready, why the universe can’t respond if you don’t move, and how to use reflection tools — from astrology to oracle cards — as values exercises rather than prescriptions. And this month’s card pull? Power. Mountain and thunder. Consider yourself warned.
If you’ve been waiting to feel more certain before you take the next step, this episode is your sign to move.
