raise your hand if you’ve ever heard an astrologer say “work with this astrology”… and quietly wondered wtf that even means. 🙋🏻♀️
Cause, same.
When I first started digging into astrology, I wanted so badly to “make the most” of the cosmic moments… but actually doing that felt wildly unclear to me. I can’t be the only one!
That’s why, today, I’m breaking down how to go beyond binging astro content and create a bonafide astrology-based spiritual practice.
We’ll talk about common mistakes that keep folks stuck, how to avoid astrological anxiety, and I’ll share my simple framework to help you move through life with the cosmos, not at the mercy of it.
✨ Think of it as a crash course in making astrology part of your spiritual practice in a way that feels grounding, supportive, and practical.

My Secret to Creating Potent Lunar Rituals
Let's talk about how to create your new moon rituals, even if you're a beginner! :)
Today I'll teach you my 3R framework for creating personalized rituals, which provides structure and flexibility. I'll tell you all about each of the "R"s then show you how it works by taking you behind the scenes of my latest new moon ritual.
What I love about this framework is it provides structure without being too prescribed. I'm excited to show it to you!
Comment with questions and insights–I love to hear from you!

"Authentic Self" Culture is Keeping You Stuck
I’ve got good news and bad news if you’re tired of feeling stuck chasing your “authentic self” or searching for your one true purpose:
Good news? It’s not you.
Bad news? It’s your fixation on finding your purpose and your authentic self that’s keeping you stuck.
But more good news! All it takes is a simple reframe to immediately shift out of the rut that searching for your purpose & authentic self can keep you stuck in.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the myths behind “authentic self” culture and why the endless search for purpose can actually keep you feeling confused, burnt out, and disconnected.
I’ll show you how to break free from spiritual self-help traps and start living with more curiosity, creativity, and real fulfillment.
🔮 Perfect for: spiritual seekers, overthinkers, self-help junkies, and anyone tired of feeling like they’re never “enough” or haven’t found their purpose.
🔍 What You'll Learn in This Video:
→ Why “authentic self” and “purpose” culture keeps you stuck → The hidden pressure of always trying to “figure yourself out” → How self-help burnout happens (and how to escape it) → The difference between living for the future vs. living in the present → Why the idea of an authentic self is extremely limiting & the new concept you can replace it with → Practical steps to reconnect with your real desires and values → How to find fulfillment every day — not just someday in the future when you’ve “found your purpose”
