1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:17,200 Hello everyone and welcome to the Awaken Together podcast. I'm Jen and I'm Kat and today is our season finale of season four. 2 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,600 I can't believe it. Time flies. 3 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:29,360 Oh my goodness. We were talking about how it's literally been two years of this extremely intuitive and slightly impulsive decision 4 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:38,240 to make this podcast with each other and just reflecting on how easy it's been to kind of put this together 5 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:46,400 because this was so something that Kat and I were supposed to co-create and it's amazing to look at how much has shifted and happened 6 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,960 since the beginning of this. 7 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:56,080 Yeah, seriously. I want to reflect. It's like I truly don't think there's anybody else who I could have done this with 8 00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:06,800 and have it be this like magical, magical, like just continue on. We hold each other accountable and we do it with such grace and balance 9 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,880 and I'm just so grateful for you, Jen. 10 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:18,880 I'm so grateful for you. Yes, effortless, so meant to be and it's been so beautiful to even expand this podcast into a retreat space 11 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:27,120 and we wanted to give a huge thank you just to everyone because we continue to grow and every single season has kept topping the others 12 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,480 and we're just so excited to keep seeing where we can take this. 13 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:37,120 So thank you so much for continuing to share our little podcast with your friends, with your family. 14 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,240 We've had some moms listen. 15 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:47,360 And yeah, we're just like so, so happy and excited for growing our beautiful community and then all starts with you. 16 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:57,520 Ah, yes. Thank you all. So for today's episode, we wanted to just do a little reflection on all of the topics that came up in this season. 17 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:03,680 It's been really beautiful to have so many guests come forward and share their specialty. 18 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:13,680 I also think for me and Kat, like so much has personally evolved for us and as we sit here and look at this list of episodes that we've given you guys for season four, 19 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:22,800 we can see the themes of our lives like so blended into this list because we've had pretty transformative years like we really have. 20 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:32,640 Crazy. Yeah. And looking at like the topics for this season, it was really relationship heavy and communication and sexuality and desire. 21 00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:40,560 And that also shocker fits into some of the big themes and topics that we've been working on in our lives right now. 22 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:48,400 And it's just crazy. Like I'm looking at the time right now. It's 11 11 and we are riding out the full moon and Capricorn. 23 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:54,400 We're recording this on the 4th of July. So it's just like freedom alignment. It's cancer season. 24 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:59,600 We've both recently come home after a couple of transitions and times away. 25 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:04,560 So it just feels really, really right to be sitting down right now with you all and integrating all of this. 26 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:10,080 Yes. And this full moon and Capricorn that we're sitting here recording this with is also conjunct Pluto. 27 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:17,200 So there's so much just rebirth energy. So as it always goes, this just all feels so aligned. 28 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:23,200 And yeah, the astrology for it is always just a fun little layer to sprinkle on. 29 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,040 So starting with like the first five episodes that we did this season, 30 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,320 we started you guys off with a little astrology forecast. 31 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:37,520 And it's so funny to be sitting here because we are just about to go into that transition of the north and south nodes. 32 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:44,400 So this is looking at kind of our destiny, our souls mission and our south node kind of reflecting on 33 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:49,040 both our individual past journeys and the collective past. 34 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:54,240 Both of these nodes are about to switch into the areas in Libra access, access, 35 00:03:54,240 --> 00:04:00,960 which is going to be such a cool shift on like how you own your individuality and in what area of life 36 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:06,800 that shines based on the house it lands in. And Libra is about partnerships and collaborations 37 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:13,200 and creating bonds and relationships that matter. So it's really looking at the integrity between 38 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:19,280 those things and how it fits. And so it's just so cool to be riding out this end of season with 39 00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:24,880 those themes and entering into a full summer where you can really see that stuff shine and start to 40 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:32,240 reflect on that. And then going into episode two, we really started unpacking communication, 41 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:39,520 which for Kat and I, we were both really in therapy. And I think, you know, we've talked so much in 42 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:46,000 previous seasons about the importance of using your voice and the importance of sound. But the way we 43 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:53,120 word stuff still is so important. And I think you get used to these patterns of language, right? 44 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:58,800 It's the where we're trying to convey something, but it's not actually the words that we use. And 45 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:03,840 I think for me, like learning the power of how I'm wording something and how it commonly gets 46 00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:09,680 perceived and how I can just play with word changes and get out of patterns of talking 47 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:16,480 has been so huge for me. And so that episode was so powerful because I've had to use my voice 48 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:23,920 and discuss subjects that I have very much pushed away this, this and this little period of my life 49 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:29,200 like for real. Yeah. And it's still like, it still kind of blows my mind that my partner Kyle can't 50 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:34,960 read my mind all the time, like some of my other people can. And so, you know, you know, I know 51 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:41,840 you read my mind. And so like the reminder of how important it is to use my words because I will 52 00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:46,640 literally look at him sometimes after blabbering a short sentence and expect him to know the mountain, 53 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:51,040 the iceberg that's under that. And he'll just be like, no, I don't know what you mean. And so 54 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:57,760 just forcing me to back up, articulate all the little minutia, the fine print that's going on in 55 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:03,520 my mind so he can fully understand. It just helps both of us out. So that's been a big takeaway. 56 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:08,400 And we'll continue to be something I'm always working on with him and everybody else in my life. 57 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:13,760 Yeah. And it's hilarious. But you say that too, off of this episode, because I had a conversation 58 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:19,600 this week of saying, me and Danny read each other's minds so easily, so we don't bring words 59 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:26,480 into it a lot. But because of that, there's been such a lack of practicing, like actual words 60 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:31,760 coming out. And I've realized that that's created a whole habit loop. So the opposite problem of 61 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:38,000 now assuming that psychic understanding is there and realizing that that doesn't blend into a lot 62 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:44,640 of things. And it's made me kind of, yeah, stop using my voice and words as much. So that's, yeah, 63 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:51,760 so funny, two sides of the same coin, but just the importance of it. And then the religion to 64 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:58,400 spirituality episode where we had Lexi come on, Mercury Sagittarius and a Mercury Gemini gen 65 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:06,960 talking was just pure magic. And it was so fun to cover just the lessons of religion deconstruction 66 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:13,920 as I've also shared in previous episodes, because this is something guys that I swear the layers 67 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:22,000 do not end when you were raised in evangelical Christianity world. I keep unpacking more and 68 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:28,960 more stuff that is just so easy to sneak in that's coming from those old patterns from being raised 69 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:36,240 in that way. So talking this episode out with Lexi was so important. And it was also hilarious. 70 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:43,040 My mom has been listening to the podcast and this episode did not make her happy. So Scorpio 71 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:50,640 Lynn, I am sorry that the truths are being revealed on the pod. But it's so important 72 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:58,640 that I continue to unpack this story. And yeah, I mean, this is integrated into my family's lives 73 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:05,840 and unpacking this, you know, we're all awakening together, can I say? Yeah, sorry, not sorry. 74 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:14,080 Right. And that goes into the importance of sharing your story. That was such a good episode 75 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:19,360 to listen with Pat and our special guest Ash. And yeah, it was absolutely beautiful to hear that 76 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:24,720 because it links so well with just the other themes of communicating your story and your words 77 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:30,560 and how yeah, how important that's been for me. Yeah, and tone like the subtleties when you have 78 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,480 that moment with someone where you're just like gazing into each other's eyes, maybe it's someone 79 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:40,400 you just met and you just connect on this one thing, this one thing and it makes you feel so 80 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:45,920 seen and heard and validated and the power that comes with that too. It's magical. Absolutely. 81 00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:53,680 And then one of our most popular episodes this season talking about soul contracts and this 82 00:08:53,680 --> 00:09:00,720 is another layer of relationship healing. And I've had so many new characters come into my life 83 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:06,800 if we're thinking of it as a play, you know, these contracts that come in, these people that are 84 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:12,080 intentional and matter for a reason, me and Kat 100% agree to a soul contract together. 85 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:18,240 That it's the people that come in, it's effortless in either one category and depending on how long 86 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:23,680 that person's supposed to stay in your life is not really for us to necessarily decide. So trusting 87 00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:29,600 the flow of when someone comes in, taking what the universe is trying to show you, loving the moment 88 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:35,040 for what it's teaching you and then trusting that the time will kind of work out for itself. But 89 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:41,360 there is deep intentionalness about who we attract and why. And I think when we reflect on that, 90 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:47,920 we can see so many hidden gems. Yeah, totally. And recently I was reflecting on this one too and how 91 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:52,960 obviously this pertains to love and romantic relationships, but also relates to conscious 92 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:58,880 friendships. And when I was at Electric Forest with my best friend, Margie, we were talking about how 93 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:04,560 like she was pulling us through a crowd, it was really packed. And I was following her, 94 00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:09,840 which is not our norm. And it felt a little weird. And so she was like, this feels wrong, 95 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:15,200 you get in front, you lead. And I was like, oh, you're feeling that too. And then we just kind 96 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:21,040 of called it out like we have been best friends since preschool. Yeah. And we work so well and so 97 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:27,840 harmonious because I love to lead and she hates to lead. And so it's like, you might have been a 98 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:35,520 married couple. Yeah. You're like, remember, let's remember. Yeah, totally. And so like I fall 99 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:40,000 into that role of like, big sis, even though we're the same age. And it's just like, oh, 100 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:44,960 I'm just going to navigate. And she's always right there right next to me. And so it's just 101 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:49,680 that sweetness and the dynamic again of how relationships play out and how they work. 102 00:10:49,680 --> 00:10:55,920 I truly think that when you are more in that kind of spiritual path and intentional to it's like all 103 00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:01,840 these new people just come into your life and it adds to layers of synchronicities. Like it's so 104 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:07,600 freaking real. Like the people that I now are considering my best friends that I give my precious 105 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:13,600 resource of time and energy to are completely different people than you know, years back. And 106 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:19,040 I've just so much of this has evolved for me. And it's such a reflection of the work I've done 107 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:24,880 because the people I'm attracting are into such a different world and live so much more intentionally. 108 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:30,640 And that's felt so beautiful because it's helped me along my journey too. So such a powerful episode. 109 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:37,600 100%. So then taking it into our remaining episodes of the season, episode six was all 110 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:45,520 about psychic mediumship with Willow. That was such a fun episode. Oh my gosh, she gave us so 111 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:52,320 many great tips on how to like protect your space, how to work with darker energies. So for all of 112 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:58,400 our empaths, all of our people where the veil just feels a little bit thinner. This is a great one 113 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:04,400 to even listen back to and just hear her tips as a practicing psychic medium and get to know 114 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:09,680 like what things you might already be picking up on without having any like training or experience 115 00:12:09,680 --> 00:12:16,960 practicing this in like a formal way. It was really enlightening for me and caused me to pick up a book 116 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:22,960 which Jen and I have both listened to at this point all about becoming a medical intuitive and 117 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:28,720 maybe next season we'll get into that. Yes. And that I was when I listened to that episode, 118 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:34,880 it also set me on a whole thing. I had just read energy codes. It was like really just honing 119 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:39,680 in more on psychic gifts. And it was so funny because I was living in Chicago when I was playing 120 00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:46,480 this episode, I was taking the train and I have really like honed in so much on realizing like 121 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:53,360 how I feel and then tuning into other people and seeing what what I get off of people like where 122 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:59,200 my baseline is and when I tune into someone like what gets added to my energy body and oh my gosh 123 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:04,800 just like we don't realize how psychic we really are and I think we just move so quickly that we 124 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:10,400 forget that intentionality and it was so good just to hear some of her tips and play with them on 125 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:18,560 the train. I had so much fun with that. Such a fun practice. I love that. The next up we had breathwork 126 00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:25,440 magic with Annalie and this one it was so helpful just to like hear about the nervous system in 127 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:31,360 different ways that your breath can really help you navigate that and regulate yourself. Yeah because 128 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:37,040 for us like breathwork is something we shared a lot with meditation but I think we forget all the 129 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:43,120 layers of healing that just focusing on breathwork can bring us and Anna is definitely a special person 130 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:48,400 from my past and it's just it reminds us we need that constant reminder that we have one of the 131 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:54,960 biggest magic tools like in something we do constantly you know but when you bring intentionality 132 00:13:54,960 --> 00:14:01,760 behind it it changes everything. It sure does. It's wild. So cool. Then our next episode was 133 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:09,760 Ayurveda 2.0 with the lovely Havana. She gave us so many great tips, really ancient wisdom from this 134 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:15,520 beautiful life practice of Ayurveda. Things that you can do in the morning, different spices to 135 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:21,600 incorporate so really tactful grounding tips to just bring a little bit more ease to your life 136 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:28,080 holistically. I never will stop being amazed by the layers to that. I know. The different subtleties 137 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:35,840 so so cool. Then episode nine was our big episode about sex. You guys also downloaded this one in 138 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:44,160 record time just to say. Uh-huh. Our people we know. So cool to see and just know like our journeys 139 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:49,840 this year around sex and sexuality. Oh my gosh. Intersexual awakenings and my second puberty 140 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:57,280 and it's just like it's been a big year focused on sex. Yes me and Danny exploring polyamory 141 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:02,320 all of the different relationship layers that have come in realizing there is still so much 142 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:09,280 healing work to do around those categories. And so yeah it actually landed in nice lives like 143 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:15,440 very at the almost the same time it was wild. So apparently you guys were feeling that too. 144 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:21,520 And I think it's so important we talk about subject matters that were previously seen as 145 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,760 something you should keep private because we're all living this human experience. And there are so 146 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:31,360 many parallels when you reveal and look at everything and there's so much importance about 147 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:38,080 not seeing some subjects as no no's and to stay away from it because that's how shame stories I 148 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:43,520 think can get so loud and we can kind of stunt our growth when in reality there's so many pieces we 149 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:48,160 can connect from each other's stories. Absolutely. One of those topics that they say are the most 150 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:54,560 taboo that you shouldn't talk about with people. It's sex, religion and politics. We talk about it 151 00:15:54,560 --> 00:16:00,880 all. Yeah probably more than anything. Get that megaphone and so loud. Yes please. Yes that's what 152 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:06,000 we're here to do on earth all the shit that's been kept down and just see how we can make our 153 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:12,720 own opinions and feel about it and notice that we're not alone. Yeah so next episode this happened 154 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:19,920 in Pride Month which was so special and important. It was with Phoenix exploring gender and sexuality. 155 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:27,200 This one was super cool. Yeah Phoenix and I created our virtual program, InterU and we recorded this 156 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:34,720 podcast at that same time and just the amount of stuff that has shifted for the LBGTQIA community. 157 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:40,960 There has been so much legislation trying to move backwards in these subject matters and it's just so 158 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:46,880 important that we remember that there is so many there's such a spectrum of the human experience 159 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:53,120 and just because you don't understand it doesn't mean that it's not happening and everyone deserves 160 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:58,800 to live in full integrity to their own human experience. So anything that is stifling that is 161 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:05,440 so important to remove and I think we so think that we have to understand everything to let it 162 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:12,080 just be and that is so the themes of that are so important and in that episode just getting to talk 163 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:18,480 through what that has looked like for Phoenix's journey who is non-binary and just how it's blended 164 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:25,760 into society. We need this now more than ever with the Supreme Court recently just taking us even 165 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:31,600 more backwards and some of these themes like we have got to come together and be loud for the people 166 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:37,200 whose voices have continued to be stifled throughout history for just something that is a part of their 167 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:43,920 day today we should all be able to be humaning in whatever way that looks like. Yep that one was 168 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:51,680 sex it was politics and it was religion all in one so lots to integrate and take away from that 169 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:57,920 episode and just like this whole theme in life right now. Yes then our final episode before 170 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:05,360 this one was all about gaslit by birth control. Thank you for sharing that all. Oh of course 171 00:18:05,360 --> 00:18:12,800 yeah thanks for all coming on that journey with me it was a lot and still learning my last cycle 172 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:18,800 was shorter than normal and so I'm like is the pendulum swinging in the other direction now 173 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:24,160 but I feel like it's all just kind of you know shaking out and everything and I'm feeling really 174 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:31,520 really good so I was actually talking to someone recently now that we're in our 30s a friend he 175 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:36,640 had just turned 32 and he was saying how he wakes up every day with some more aches and pains and 176 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:43,040 how that's just normal and I kind of got to reflecting on that and I had this takeaway of 177 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:49,120 coming back from electric forest my body actually felt the best it ever has and I've been going for 178 00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:57,120 eight years so I kind of just want to like sweep that away and of course like age I can't span that 179 00:18:57,120 --> 00:19:02,160 yeah of course age has maybe something to do with our bodies and like yeah we need to treat our bodies 180 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:07,200 with extra loving care the older that we get because they don't just bounce back quite as easily 181 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:13,200 but age is just a number and it is all about how you take care of yourself I know you have my back 182 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:18,960 my physical therapist friend yes I think that is so huge and that's why I'm so proud of you for 183 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:24,320 sharing that piece of your story and even just the messiness and I'm not even having it have to be 184 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:30,320 like full concrete answers but the importance in this is so many layers deeper that we have to keep 185 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:36,720 exploring our bodies we are in relationship with it and as we freaking know relationships don't just 186 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:43,360 get to go on autopilot it's supposed to be intentional and our bodies are constantly sending us messages 187 00:19:43,360 --> 00:19:48,960 and we have to keep paying attention and yeah the homework for that even like your regular 188 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:53,840 relationships is going to shift and what you have to look into is going to be important there's going 189 00:19:53,840 --> 00:20:01,920 to be new messages but writing it off as it's normal to be experiencing um x y and z and it's all kind 190 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:08,240 of in these more negative lights I just so don't prescribe to that because I have met so many people 191 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:15,120 in their 90s thriving and more connected and alive than ever before age does not summarize this and 192 00:20:15,120 --> 00:20:21,680 so it's important that we are constantly playing around with things and seeing where our body lands 193 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:26,640 within it and that is going to look personal and different for everyone I think we can get very 194 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:33,840 dangerously in the in the dark side of stuff when we start saying it has to be this way but I also 195 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:41,680 think it's important that we remember that not everything that has been seen as normal is necessarily 196 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:46,960 right and that it's important we keep doing the work to unveil that and look at how it interacts 197 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:53,440 with our own personal stuff 100% yeah I if I have to hear my mom say one more time oh you'll 198 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:58,640 understand when you're in your 60s how much your body just hurts naturally because of age I'm like 199 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:06,320 challenge accepted mom literally same you're on because I'm gonna keep doing the yoga I'm gonna 200 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:12,160 keep walking I'm not gonna be sedentary and um you know if you don't use it you lose it yes and 201 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:17,520 that is a perfect example of what I think has happened for that generation sadly and not to 202 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:24,240 their own faults um it's been a very sedentary culture but we are here busting that and paying 203 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:29,840 attention and getting out of our minds and into our bodies and letting our traumas move through us 204 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:37,760 and doing the work so I have high high hopes for us all I so do too and as we uh shared in that first 205 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:46,240 episode Pluto will move back into Aquarius in January for 35 years the collective is gonna 206 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:54,000 be affected in this Aquarius way and Aquarius is so about making sure everyone's individual story 207 00:21:54,000 --> 00:22:02,400 and self-expression is shining out so this work this work of awakening this work of unpacking 208 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:09,520 your old stories to step into new trust and co-creation with the universe it's intentional it 209 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:15,840 matters it's breaking down structures that don't work and it's allowing us to not only extend so 210 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:21,680 much self-compassion but also extend compassion to every single person outside of us and when we 211 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:30,400 are living in alignment with that love we are not normalizing pain and hurt and um yeah the things 212 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:36,960 that tend to keep us small maybe we should just get more curious about I love it beautifully said 213 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:44,400 yes and so with this being our season finale of season four it's all about integration so 214 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:50,000 we'll ask you to consider the topics that we covered this season and see if there are any that 215 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:56,400 you feel like there's still something left to squeeze out of that topic um you know go back 216 00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:02,400 listen to some of them ask us questions reach out to us um because we're always doing the work 217 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:09,600 ourselves and so Jen as we head into the rest of July August the remaining of summer I'm curious 218 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,840 what are some of the things in your spiritual journey that you are really integrating and 219 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:21,520 leaning into yeah as you said I just came into kind of a different sense of home I was away for 220 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:29,520 90 days living in another city and I think just getting out of my normal flow it was it so emphasized 221 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:35,520 what I was both craving and what felt good to kind of let go of so I think I'm really am redefining 222 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:41,520 home I'm redefining what relationships mean and look like to me and I'm really in the process of 223 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:46,560 all of that trying to make space for the things that I really know to be true about myself that 224 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:52,560 have come from doing the work so I think that Aries Libre theme right like self and integration 225 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:59,120 with connection to others and finding that like sweet balance and also just yeah creating a sense 226 00:23:59,120 --> 00:24:05,600 of home in whatever way that is going to look like I think the concept of home is switching so much 227 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:11,200 for me with what has been happening in my life and I'm just really thankful to have the home 228 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:18,080 within myself that I feel like I can trust which I've had so many gratitude cries on this last 229 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:24,560 little bit because self was so far from being home for me for so long so to know that I now have 230 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:30,720 that as a structure system that no one can ever take from me also means everything what about you 231 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:37,360 it's so beautiful I love it I love it thank you um yeah for me I mentioned at the beginning too 232 00:24:37,360 --> 00:24:43,360 just coming home from Electric Forest a little over a week ago now and how that was our eighth year 233 00:24:43,360 --> 00:24:51,360 there and it very much feels like home for us um and coming back like I always gleam so much from 234 00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:56,640 it and it's it's life changing every single year like we bring we bring different groups of people 235 00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:02,000 every year this year we brought our best friends Kirsten, Brandon, Heather and Margie and just 236 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:08,000 seeing their eyes like light up at the forest is always beautiful and amazing and I think some of 237 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:14,000 the things that I'm taking into this summer with me as I still have not exited Festival Mode I'm 238 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:22,000 actually going to see some music today um is how how beautiful connecting with others is like you 239 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:28,800 just shared Jen and how we live in such a society that is so individualistic and I think a lot of 240 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:35,040 I think a lot of people just think that they are more introverted than they actually are because 241 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:42,160 there's a fear to express themselves fully and a fear of rejection and a fear of not just like 242 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:48,080 being their weird true selves because somewhere in their upbringing um somewhere in their journey 243 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:55,280 they've been taught that's not okay um and so it's a lot of inner child healing work and that's 244 00:25:55,280 --> 00:26:02,160 like that whole sense of play that equals Festival Mode for me and just being this like silly goofy 245 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:09,280 version of myself not just um at festivals or on weekends with friends but like bringing more play 246 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:15,200 into my everyday life um I also kind of like got away from my meditation practice while I was there 247 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:21,280 because I was sleeping maybe three hours a day um and so getting back into that has been a little 248 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:28,160 challenging for me and that's hard for me to say because it's something that I like revel in and 249 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:33,920 do so well in every single day just having like a grounded routine but I also like to practice what 250 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:40,080 I preach and give myself some grace and know that um I listened to my meditations on my phone and I 251 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:45,280 didn't have my phone for a week and so integrating the teachings from that um side note I lost it 252 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:51,520 at Electric Forest and someone turned it in and I got it back so Forest provides it's back to me 253 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:58,000 nothing happened to it and and we're back and my meditation is going to come back and just giving 254 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:03,280 myself grace and knowing that I'm exactly where I'm meant to be in this moment right now. Yes and 255 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:08,800 you are also meditating in such different ways so that can also look so many ways so it's so important 256 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:13,840 to yeah ebb and flow with the themes that are popping up in your life because there is a freaking 257 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:20,240 reason always always always always just learning and changing and growing and yes doing it together 258 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:25,360 yes we are doing it together and we're doing it with all of you and thank you guys for the layers 259 00:27:25,360 --> 00:27:31,920 of love that we have felt from this podcast and just giving us a safe space where we can share 260 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:38,320 and have it then resonate with so many people it means everything.
