What if everything you've learned about self-improvement has been keeping you from the very transformation you seek? In this candid conversation, we dive into the subtle yet powerful trap of the "fixing mentality" - that persistent voice telling us something's wrong that needs correcting, upgrading, or optimizing.

Drawing on personal experiences with our changing bodies, emotional landscapes, and performance expectations, we explore how deeply our culture has conditioned us to view natural fluctuations as problems. From managing menstrual cycles to navigating emotional waves like anger or overwhelm, we've been taught to police rather than partner with our bodies and emotions.

The discomfort we feel when honoring our bodies isn't failure—it's information. Whether it's a signal we're pushing too hard or an indication we're stepping outside our comfort zone by truly honoring our needs, this distinction transforms how we relate to ourselves. After decades of conditioning, these patterns become embedded in our nervous systems, which is why even when we intellectually understand the benefits of working with our bodies instead of against them, emotionally it can still feel like a "cop-out" when we need to slow down.

True transformation begins when we shift from seeking answers outside ourselves to trusting our inner wisdom. It's about choosing reverence over repair—sitting with ourselves not to change but to remember our inherent wholeness. As we shared, "You were never meant to be a project. You are presence, soft, sacred and whole, even in the parts that unravel."

Place your hand on your heart today and ask: "What part of me is trying to be heard?" Then join our Patreon community for practical tools to deepen this journey of self-trust and embodied wisdom.

Are you doing all the right things but still feeling stuck in the same old patterns? Susan Wise returns to the podcast with a revolutionary approach to personal transformation that might be the missing piece you've been searching for.

Most of us have been taught to avoid difficult emotions or push through them with sheer willpower. But what if these emotions are actually our greatest allies in creating lasting change? Susan shares that 95% of our beliefs about ourselves form before age seven, creating subconscious programming that keeps us stuck in loops despite our conscious efforts to change.

The key to breaking free isn't trying harder—it's meeting your emotions with curiosity, compassion, and even playfulness. Susan walks us through her seven-step "Uplightening Game," a chakra-aligned process that helps women move from stuck to inspired with more ease. What makes this approach unique is how it transforms emotional work from something heavy into something lightened through play. Research shows that habits formed through play can be established in just 10-20 repetitions versus 400 repetitions when approached as work.

One powerful tool Susan offers is asking "How is this happening FOR me?" This simple question immediately shifts us from victim mode to creator mode, helping us access the parasympathetic state where true innovation becomes possible. Rather than trying to "fix" or eliminate emotions, Susan teaches us to honor them as teachers, thank them for their protection, and invite them to vibrate at higher frequencies aligned with our soul's desires.

For women tired of the hustle, Susan recommends two immediate practices: be relentlessly kind to yourself and use your imagination without limits. By allowing yourself to envision possibilities beyond what seems "realistic," you open neural pathways that invite unexpected magic into your life.

What if the stars could help you understand yourself more deeply? Kelsey Conway joins us for a fascinating exploration of how astrology can serve as a powerful tool for self-discovery and personal growth.

We dive into the "Big Three" - your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs - demystifying what each represents and how they influence your authentic expression. Rather than simply telling you "what" these placements are, Kelsey beautifully explains "why" they matter, describing astrology as your cosmic blueprint that reveals the lessons you're here to learn.

The conversation moves beyond surface-level horoscopes to explore how understanding your astrological makeup can help you recognize patterns, embrace your authentic self, and approach relationships with greater compassion. As Kelsey points out, astrology isn't about putting yourself in a box—it's about finding your way out of one by peeling back layers of societal conditioning.

Whether you're astrology-curious or skeptical, this episode offers practical ways to explore this ancient wisdom system. From following the moon's daily movements to using apps like The Pattern, we share accessible entry points for beginning your own journey of cosmic self-discovery.

Most powerfully, we discuss how astrology serves as what Shauna calls a "compassion tool"—helping us understand both ourselves and others with greater empathy and acceptance. By recognizing the higher and lower expressions of our signs, we gain the awareness needed to consciously choose our most authentic path forward.
