New Moon in Virgo: Cyclical Living with Charity Rodgers
Happy New Moon in Virgo!
Virgo Moon Days are a time to reflect on our routines and get organized, especially any routines that relate to health and wellness. Work with the energy of the New Moon in Virgo to come back into alignment with yourself through your daily practices and rituals. Virgo energy also brings with it themes of service, and of being of service in the world. It's fitting that this theme arrives alongside the Virgo themes of health and habits, because we cannot pour from an empty cup. The more we prioritize taking care for our own bodies through healthy self-care routines, the more we can show up to serve from a place of alignment.
Today’s episode features Charity Rodgers, a certified health and well-being coach and yoga instructor with a passion for menstrual education and living in sync with your cycle. She is the face behind Mind Your Menstrual, where she coaches women on how to cultivate a growth-promoting mindset to find peace in the day-to-day and educate them on how to find ease through menstrual cycle awareness. In this episode, Charity shares her wisdom on how to show up using your cycle and the moon.

Full Moon in Aquarius: On Living Our Truth with Onyx Sol Bianco
Happy Full Moon in Aquarius!
Aquarian energy cannot be put inside a box -- and the ideas that spring from this energy are often before their time. At its best, the energy of Aquarius is the ultimate truth-sayer, leading others to new ways of thinking or being, unafraid to stand up and lead the way for social or cultural change.
Onyx Sol (they/them) is a queer, trans-nonbinary musician-poet-mystic whose devotion to living a Soul Oriented Life has led them on a journey all over the world—each step along the way an extension/reflection of an inner-shift into a deeper truth of being. From Italy, the land of their ancestral inheritance, to the Hawaiian Islands where they lived in intentional communities in harmony with the Earth, Onyx’s journey and its various cycles of relocation and transition, masculine & feminine initiation, death and rebirth, has led them to their calling of being a light in the darkness of life’s liminal moments.
Through their study and practice of astrology and the tarot, as well as through the channeling of sacred sound vibrations, it is Onyx Sol’s intention to facilitate and hold space for deeper states of inner-knowing, healing, and transformation for their clients and community. A multi-passionate being, Onyx Sol is also a performing poet, musician, and singer-songwriter. Their art is a direct extension of their inner-process, and their desire to induce joy and catharsis in those who witness.

Full Moon in Capricorn: On Work, Life and Lunar Coaching with Jessie Rodriguez
In this episode, Jessie Rodriguez shares about her own experience working with the moon, her relationship with finding balance in life and work, and her experience working with me as my very first Lunar Coaching client!
Jessie is a Strong Woman, wife, mother of two, and the owner of West End Yoga Studio. She also works full time in the non-profit wellness industry. She believes in not taking yourself too seriously, being humble, working with grit, and discovering life's purpose as a path to true self-care.
A little bit about this lunation... The Full Moon in Capricorn occurs when the Sun is in Cancer, the Moon is in Capricorn, and the Moon and the Sun are on opposite sides of the earth (and the Zodiac). Capricorn is known as the work-horse of the zodiac, so this is a great time to reflect on what's rising to the surface for you relating to work. With the Sun currently in Cancer, it's also a great time to consider the balance between your work life and your home life (which, if you're anything like me, have. become more blended than ever!). Consider the ways in which any unhelpful themes and patterns are being illuminated in the light of this Full Moon, and take this opportunity to release and let go of what no longer serves. The potent energetics around Full Moons also make them a great time for forgiving anyone who we're ready to "cut the cord with" energetically. It's also a beautiful time for practicing gratitude and appreciation for the multitude of blessings in our lives.

New Moon in Cancer: Shedding the Shell and Loving Yourself and with Andrea Lee
Today we are celebrating the start of a new Lunar Cycle with a New Moon in Cancer, and I am so excited to be sharing a conversation I had with Andrea Lee inspired by some of the themes of this New Moon: emotions, vulnerability, food, self-love, and more.
In this episode, Andrea shares about her own journey to self-love and the magic that has happened for her in that process. We talk about vulnerability, shedding the shell and and the power of showing up authentically as you. The food that fills your belly and the thoughts that fill your mind impact your mood, energy and physical health. Our bodies systems are interconnected and require balance and harmony.
Andrea is the host of the Holistic Living podcast, leads by-donation women’s circles in Whistler Canada, and works 1:1 with women to help them clarify their vision & lifestyle desires and bring their dreams to life!
She is on a mission to help other women live a life of vibrancy and joy, here to be your guide and craft your toolkit to allow you to transform your health and support you on your journey to wholeness.

Full Moon in Sagittarius: Adventure is Calling with Christine Winebrenner Irick
Happy Super Full Moon in Sagittarius!
The Full Moon in Sagittarius is a time to celebrate the fun-loving and adventurous part of yourself. As always, Full Moons are about releasing what no longer serves – so, in this case, what is holding you back from embracing that part of yourself that’s ready to explore new horizons? It’s also a time for practicing gratitude for the multitude of blessings in your life. Here are some prompts for you to reflect on with the energies of this lunation:
Journaling Prompts for this Lunation:
- In what area of my life would I benefit from zooming out and looking at the big picture?
- Reflect on your balance of work and fun and ask, where can I lighten up?
- Close your eyes and imagine yourself on the most epic adventure. Where are you? What are you doing? Who are you with? How does it feel?
- Rewrite the story of what you believe is possible for you
- Through the adventure that has been my life thus far, I've learned that...
- What's my philosophy on life?
Today’s episode features Christine Winebrenner Irick, founder of Lotus Sojourns, a transformational travel company for women.
Christine Winebrenner Irick has worked in the tourism industry for 20 years, concentrating on community-based tourism and sustainable tourism development. She brings these passions into the journeys she creates and guides for Lotus Sojourns, founded in 2019. She is a natural connector and is dedicated to creating space for women to authentically connect around the world. She also wants each woman to connect to their purpose and know themselves as valuable and equal members of this global community.
In the spring of 2020, Christine launched her award-winning Soul of Travel interview series to celebrate the impactful work of her colleagues as they navigated the challenges and loss associated with the shut-down of tourism during the Covid-19 pandemic. She later began specifically focusing on the Voices of Women in this field, discussing the ways they have pursued their dreams, empowered others, and continue to work to create change around the world.

New Moon in Gemini: Living Mindfully with Deanna Wheeler
The New Moon in Gemini is a time to consider our communications and how we express ourselves -- through reading, writing, listening, speaking, and any other means of communication. With Gemini's ruling planet Mercury currently retrograde until June 3rd, we're offered an opportunity to really slow down and bring some extra intentionality to our communication. Practicing meditation and mindfulness is SUCH a powerful way to do this.
In honor of this New Moon, I’m so excited to be airing this episode with my very first podcast guest, Deanna Wheeler!
Here’s a little about her:
“Deanna turned to meditation at a time in her life when she needed hope. She had to manage the weight of grief heavier than anything she had ever felt before. She found herself in a very high state of stress and her body was really in fight or flight mode, constantly. It was years before she realized the effects and what neglecting this stress had done to her.
After learning the power of meditation firsthand, she wanted to help others do the same. A short 5-10 minutes can make a huge difference when making meditation part of your routine”

Scorpio Full Moon Eclipse: Releasing creates space
In this episode, I share about a personal experience of letting go of something that was no longer in alignment for me and how it created the PERFECT space for something SO much more aligned to come in.
Here's an outtake from the Taurus Moon Cycle Workbook from my membership, The Moonlit Membership, with some journaling prompts for you to reflect on at this Full Moon Eclipse:
The sign of Scorpio is all about undergoing deep transformations. Full moons are always the time to release, and being an eclipse in such a deepy feeling sign, it's a SUPERCHARGED time for releasing. How many times have you held onto something out of fear of letting it go, only to find that once you finally did, something so much more aligned came in to take its place?
It's time to reflect on what you're ready to release and let go of in all areas of your life. Once you write down your release/forgiveness and gratitude lists, burn the paper under the light of the Full Moon and get ready to call in fresh new energy into the spaces you're creating.
Journaling Prompts:
- I recognize that I am undergoing a deep transformation around...
- I am ready to release negativity around…
- I am ready to release jealousy around…
- I am ready to release resentments around…
- I am ready to release upsets around…
- I am ready to release dramas around…
- I am ready to release control around...
- I'm scared to release _______ but I know I need to in order to clear space for what's to come
- Reflect on the honoring of death and rebirth as a continual cycle.
- What signs have I received that my desires are are manifesting or are on their way?
- My feelings about _____ are so strong right now. This is teaching me that…
