   182: Gemini New Moon Ritual: Listening to the Body Beneath the Thoughts

   In this episode, I’m bringing back something that has always felt deeply aligned for me: new moon rituals. This Gemini New Moon invites us into the space between the mind and the body — where our thoughts, stories, and patterns are asking to be felt, not just figured out. With Mercury moving through Cancer and Chiron beginning its shift into Taurus, this ritual is centered around emotional honesty, self-worth, safety, receiving, and nurturing the parts of ourselves that are becoming someone new. I’ll guide you through a collective tarot reading, a seven-card new moon spread, and journal prompts to help you set an embodied intention for the next lunar cycle. This is not another task on your list. This is sacred time. Bring a candle, your tarot or oracle deck, a journal, and a quiet space to listen inward. In this episode, we explore: The energy of the Gemini New Moon Mercury in Cancer and listening beneath the mental noise Chiron in Taurus and healing around worth, safety, and receiving A seven-card tarot spread for emotional clarity Journal prompts to support your new moon intention New Moon Intention Prompt I am nurturing the part of me that is ready to ______, and I support myself by ______. May this new moon help you soften your mind, listen to your body, and trust the wisdom rising from within.

   181: The Return of Holistic Interior Design

   After a meaningful pause, Holistic Interior Design is back with a renewed sense of clarity, depth, and intention. In this reintroduction episode, host Rachel Larraine Crawford shares what led her away from the podcast, what brought her back, and how this next chapter is evolving. What began as a podcast about interiors is becoming a richer exploration of the people, spaces, materials, rituals, and emotional layers shaping the future of intentional design. Rachel opens the episode with a tarot pull from her original Rider-Waite Coleman Smith deck, drawing a card that is a fitting symbol for the restart of the podcast and the new direction ahead. This episode is both a welcome back and a declaration of what Holistic Interior Design is becoming: more visual, more interactive, more behind-the-scenes, and more rooted in the unseen layers of space.
