A quick check-in from me... I miss you!

Life’s been shifting, I’ve been taking a pause, and I’m currently in that uncomfortable in-between space where things are changing but not fully clear yet.

If you’re in a similar place, this one’s for you <3

This 10-minute Capricorn New Moon guided meditation is designed to help you ground your energy, calm your nervous system, and set clear, supportive intentions.

Capricorn New Moon energy supports stability, structure, self-trust, and long-term growth. This meditation will guide you through a gentle body scan, chakra energy balancing, and a grounding visualization to help you release pressure, reconnect with your inner foundation, and plant intentions that feel realistic and sustainable.

This practice is ideal if you’re feeling overwhelmed, unsteady, or ready to move forward with more clarity and purpose - without rushing or forcing change.

Find a comfortable position, take a deep breath, and allow this meditation to support you in creating a grounded, intentional beginning.

In this episode, I’m talking about why reality TV, podcasts, fictional TV shows, movies, and even books can all be healing in their own way. We’ll explore why reality TV can feel so comforting when we’re overwhelmed, why podcasts often feel like safe companionship, and why fictional storytelling can feel either deeply nourishing or completely inaccessible depending on where we’re at.

I share my own journey of moving through years of reality TV and podcasts, then slowly finding my way back to fictional stories - and what that shift reflected about my healing, emotional capacity, and nervous system regulation.

This is a conversation about:

• Why comfort shows aren’t “mindless”
• How storytelling supports us in different seasons
• Why starting a new show or movie can feel overwhelming
• Letting go of judgment around what you consume
• Trusting that what you’re reaching for is meeting a real need

There’s no hierarchy here. No good or bad. Just information, awareness, and a reminder that whatever you’re watching or listening to right now is allowed.
