July Transits with Chey and Sam

July is not a quiet month. Chey and I unpack one of the most significant astrological configurations in recorded history - four outer planets aligning at 4 degrees - alongside Mercury retrograde in Cancer, a powerful full moon in Capricorn, and a nodal axis shift that changes the emotional field entirely. Woven through it all are the Human Design gate transits for July, offering coaches a week-by-week lens for their own practice and their client work. If July feels big, there's a reason. This episode helps you navigate it.5 KEY TAKEAWAYS<ol><li>A once-in-recorded-history astrological event is happening now — Four outer planets (Neptune, Pluto, Uranus and Jupiter) are aligning at 4 degrees in their respective signs simultaneously. French astrologer André Barbeau predicted this configuration would change the trajectory of humanity — and it's just beginning, with effects through to 2029.</li><li>Mercury retrograde in Cancer runs almost the entire month (until July 23) — an invitation to pause, feel, and respond from the body rather than the head. Old emotional patterns and stories may resurface — use them as a chance to assess what's still yours to carry.</li><li>The North Node sits in Gate 55 — the gate Ra Uru Hu identified as central to humanity's next evolutionary shift — pointing toward the 2027 Cross of Planning transition, where the emotional centre begins to function as sovereign navigation rather than reactive patterning.</li><li>On July 26, the nodal axis shifts — astrologically moving from Pisces/Virgo into Aquarius/Leo, and in Human Design from Gate 55/59 into Gate 30/29. The invitation deepens: release over-commitment made from obligation or fear, and move toward what genuinely lights you up.</li><li>July's overarching theme is intuition, self-trust and authentic expression — the month asks us to stop waiting for permission and recognise that authenticity is the permission. As Chey put it: "Stop waiting for permission — authenticity is the permission."</li></ol>If you would like to connect with Chey for an chart reading, you can message her on Instagram - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/twomoonsbycheyenne/" target="_blank">Two Moons</a>If you would like to learn more about your Human Design head to <a href="www.samanthahannah.co.nz" target="_blank">www.samanthahannah.co.nz</a>If you're a coach who like to join ANZCAL, we'd love to hear from you.

Calm is a Skill - How Havening Rewires the Brain for Resilience and Peak Performance with Michelle Dalley

Michelle Dalley is someone whose work genuinely makes me lean in and listen. In this conversation, we explore Havening - a psychosensory technique that uses the science of touch to shift the brain into a state where stress dissolves, performance unlocks, and lasting change becomes possible. What I love most about Michelle's approach is how she brings this into the heart of leadership coaching - helping high performers regulate their nervous systems, clear what's blocking them, and step into high-pressure moments with real confidence. If you've ever wanted to understand the neuroscience behind why some people thrive under pressure and others freeze, this one's for you.<h3>5 Key Points</h3>1. Havening works by creating delta wave states through soothing touch. Three specific touch points — the face, upper arms, and palms — activate specialised skin receptors that shift the brain into delta wave state, the same state associated with deep sleep. This heightened neuroplasticity creates the conditions to release trauma encoding and re-encode new, resourceful states. It can be done in any moment, including discreetly in public, making it a genuinely accessible self-regulation tool.2. Trauma encoding is at the root of much of what blocks high-performing leaders. Michelle found consistently through leadership coaching that anxiety, imposter syndrome, and performance fears often trace back to earlier distressing experiences — frequently from school — that have been encoded in the brain as threat responses. Havening depotentiates that encoding, clearing the path for genuine growth rather than managing symptoms indefinitely.3. A regulated coach or leader regulates the people around them. Co-regulation is not soft language — it's neuroscience. Gallup research shows a person's direct leader accounts for 70% of their engagement at work. When leaders are dysregulated, their teams feel it and mirror it. When coaches are dysregulated, their clients feel that too. Self-regulation is not a personal luxury; it's a professional responsibility.4. Havening and NLP combine to create rapid, deep-level state change. Michelle has developed her own confidence-encoding process that layers Havening touch with NLP visualisation — anchoring peak performance states into the nervous system in a single session. She uses it to prepare clients for job interviews, high-stakes presentations, and critical conversations, with results she describes as immediate and lasting.5. Investing in your own development is non-negotiable at master level. Every year without exception, Michelle allocates significant resources to her own learning. She began her career technically-focused and emotionally closed. Every modality she now brings to clients — NLP, Havening, trauma-informed coaching — she first put herself through. Her breadth isn't a collection of credentials; it's a lived practice of becoming.If you would like to get in touch with Michelle, you can find her here: <a href="https://ignitegroup.co.nz/about" target="_blank">website</a> | <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-dalley-509b277/" target="_blank">Linkedin</a>

June transits with Chey and Sam

This month, our resident astrologer Chey and I reunite to unpack the cosmic and energetic weather of June 2026 - and it's one of the most significant months of the year. From Uranus shifting into Gemini for the first time since the 1940s, to Jupiter moving into Leo at month's end, June is asking us to move from processing and preparation into courageous, heart-led action. With human design and astrology weaving together beautifully as always, this conversation is rich with practical coaching insights for navigating a month full of revelations, decisions, and new beginnings.5 KEY TAKEAWAYS<ol><li>June is a turning point — from reflection to action. The first half of 2026 has been about planting seeds and gathering information. June marks the shift into making decisions, backing yourself, and moving forward with what you've been quietly preparing for.</li><li>Lead from the heart, not just the head. With Mercury and Venus both in Cancer, June is calling for decisions that are felt, not just analysed. For coaches, this means creating space for emotionally honest, intuitive conversations — with clients and with yourself.</li><li>Uranus in Gemini is disrupting old mental patterns. For the first time since the 1940s, Uranus enters Gemini — bringing sudden insight, unexpected opportunities, and an invitation to release mental frameworks you've outgrown but are still clinging to.</li><li>Chiron entering Taurus begins a collective healing journey around worth. On June 19, an eight-year healing cycle begins around self-value, resources, and what truly sustains us. Expect themes of worthiness, scarcity, and redefining success to surface — in your clients and in yourself.</li><li>Jupiter enters Leo on June 29 — it's time to shine. After a year of emotional processing in Cancer, Jupiter's move into Leo is a cosmic green light for courageous self-expression, visibility, and joy. For coaches, this is the energy to launch, pitch, begin new client relationships, and step forward — not from pressure, but from genuine readiness.</li></ol>If you would like to learn more from Chey, and have your chart read, you can message her on her instagram - <a href="www.instagram.com/undertwomoons" target="_blank">Under Two Moons</a>Are you a coach wanting to stand out in the world?
