Were you raised by emotionally immature parents? Do you have a niggling feeling you might be an emotionally immature parent? Are the challenges that you faced in your childhood coming up in the course of parenting your kiddos or in reparenting yourself?  Even the most emotionally stable among us will have times when we can’t…

The world we live in makes it pretty challenging for us to feel truly well. When we constantly receive messages about how we’re broken, wrong, or need to change, and all of that is layered with the anxiety of needing to get it all perfect, what we can do to feel better? This week, I’m…

By now, you’ll know that geeking out is very much my thing. You might even say it’s in my chart to be a nerd. And this week, I’m delighted to have you listen in as I get my astrocartography reading from psychic medium, astrologer, and intuitive energy healer, Steffi, a.k.a The Spirit Sis.
