If my story can inspire even one person to believe it is never too late to change the direction of their own life, then sharing it is worth it.
I recently had the opportunity to be a guest on a podcast with the amazing Dr. Liz Martin, Acupuncturist and Massage Therapist where I opened up about heartbreak, loss, reinvention, and the journey that led me to create Skin & Soul Sanctuary
Life doesn't always unfold the way we imagine. Sometimes the chapters we never wanted become the very ones that shape us into who we were meant to become.
Whether you're standing at a crossroads, rebuilding after a loss, or simply wondering if there's still time to follow your heart, I hope this conversation reminds you that there is.
If this conversation resonates with you, and you're ready to better understand yourself, uncover old patterns, and create meaningful change, I'd love to help.

Dr. Liz Martin, Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine interviews heart centered leaders in order to create a bigger impact in the wellness industry and those entrepreneurs coming from a heart centered place. The Heart Centered...

The Nodes Are Shifting... and So Is Leadership .

Tomorrow, the lunar nodes leave the Virgo/Pisces axis and enter Aquarius (North Node) and Leo (South Node), beginning a new 18-month evolutionary cycle.

Astrologically, the South Node represents what has been no longer working or what is ready to be released. In Leo, it asks us to examine our relationship with power, recognition, ego, and the old model of leadership. Leo is also associated with Regulus, the Royal Star a symbol that has long been connected with kings, rulers, honor, and the responsibility that comes with influence. Throughout history, Regulus has reminded us that leadership without integrity eventually loses its foundation. Lets see if leaders fall from power over the year or so.

At the same time, the North Node enters Aquarius, pointing us toward humanity, innovation, community, collaboration, and the collective future.
This feels especially significant with Pluto already in Aquarius, transforming governments, institutions, technology, artificial intelligence, and the way humanity organizes itself.

In my last video about the Barbault Basket, I mentioned how this rare planetary concentration activates the United States' Sagittarius Ascendant a chart that speaks to our national identity and the direction we're collectively heading.

Perhaps this next chapter isn't about finding one leader to follow or the old way we have been governed. Perhaps it's about recognizing that the collective, we the people will become the leaders.

Moving from...
"I am the star."
to...
"We all carry a piece of the light."
As this cycle unfolds over the next 18 months, ask yourself: Where am I seeking external validation instead of living from my own truth?

How can my unique gifts contribute to something larger than myself? The future may not belong to the loudest voice.
It may belong to the communities that remember how to shine together. We all can contribute in some way.

So much of what we call "fate" is really a pattern we have never stopped to examine.

When we begin to understand our unconscious beliefs, old wounds, and automatic reactions, something shifts...
We stop living on autopilot.

Awareness is where transformation begins.

Not sure where to begin? I offer complimentary connection calls. Let’s talk....

Wedding this summer? High School reunion? Saturday night dinner? Vacation?

Whatever you are celebrating, don't forget to give your face a workout too!
Microcurrent is often called "The Gym for Your Face" because it gently stimulates and reeducates the facial muscles, helping to create a naturally refreshed, lifted appearance.
One of the things I love most about this treatment is that my clients notice a visible lift immediately after their session, with their skin looking even more refreshed the following day. It is the perfect treatment before a special event.
For longer lasting results, I recommend a customized series of treatments to help retrain and strengthen the facial muscles over time.
If you're looking for a natural approach to facial rejuvenation, or a non-surgical facelift, I would love to help you achieve your healthiest, most radiant skin.

July Lights the Fuse. Part 1

Before we step into July let’s discuss the last days of June. We begin with tonight’s full moon in Capricorn followed by Mercury going retrograde across the chart in Cancer…

The full moon is asking us to focus on our relationship with structure, hard work and responsibility. Have you been giving to much of yourself or have you not done enough? Where can you take ownership? What area of your life is asking for greater discipline and focus so you can continue to grow and achieve your goals?

Happy Birthday, Cancers!
Like it or not, Mercury is now retrograde in your sign. Don’t worry, you are not alone. We all experience this transit somewhere in our chart.

This retrograde invites us to revisit the past... Childhood memories, family dynamics, and the ways we nurture ourselves and others.
You may find yourself feeling more emotional or nostalgic. People or situations from the past may resurface.

My advice? Don’t rush into conversations or conclusions. Give yourself time to reflect, process, and respond rather than react.
The good news? Mercury’s stay is relatively short.

If you’re a Cancer, Capricorn, Libra, or Aries, you will likely feel this Full Moon and Mercury retrograde more personally.

Meanwhile, Mars the planet of action, passion, assertion, and conflict has entered Gemini, where it joins Uranus, the planet of change, innovation, and the unexpected.

As I mentioned in my last video, Gemini rules communication and technology... and Gemini is ruled by Mercury, which is now retrograde.
Talk about a cosmic double whammy!

But that’s just the beginning...
🔥 Join me for Part 2, because that is where July really lights the fuse.

Dying while You Are Alive... The Path to Being Reborn NOW!

After a beautiful 8 year relationship with the man I thought I would spend the rest of my life with, one morning he simply said, "I don't want to be in a relationship anymore.
My world shattered.

Shortly after, my son moved to Vermont. Then the COVID shutdown happened. As an Esthetician , I was unable to work. It felt as if every area of my life had been pulled out from underneath me.

I was in my 50s and standing at a crossroads.
Rather than allow those experiences to define me, I began a journey of healing and self discovery. I immersed myself in the study of astrology, the subconscious mind, personal growth, and the deeper questions of why we are here and how we heal.

Eventually that journey led me to Hawaii for Huna training.
Huna is an ancient Hawaiian philosophy that teaches harmony, healing, personal responsibility, and the power of intention. During the 10 day immersion, we received leis throughout the experience.
At the end of the training, we were asked to return them to the ocean.

As I stood there placing those leis into the water, I realized something profound.

The woman who had arrived was not the same woman who was leaving.
The relationship had ended.
The old version of me had ended.
The life I thought I was supposed to have had ended.
And for the first time, I saw not a loss, but possibility.
I had a clean slate.
Maybe you are standing in that place right now.
A relationship has ended.
A career has changed.
The children have grown.

Life looks nothing like you imagined.
It is incredibly difficult to release what was, the memories, the identity, the plans, and the dreams. But sometimes the greatest gift is allowing an old version of ourselves to die so that something new can be born.

You do not have to travel to Hawaii to begin that journey.
Sometimes healing begins with a conversation, a new perspective, a willingness to look within, and the courage to take the first step forward.

The question is not what have you lost?
The question is... Who are you becoming?

If something in my story resonates with you, I invite you to reach out. Sometimes a single conversation can open the door to a whole new chapter.

This is not an ordinary New Moon…

For the first time since 2018, this New Moon can finally plant its seeds without the erratic shake-em-up energy of Uranus present in Ta**us.
Ta**us is Earth. He is grounded, steady, rooted. Uranus came in like a wrecking ball. Imagine an enormous field filled with everything we had planted over the years ~ some healthy, some may have overgrown, some no longer sustainable. Uranus stormed through, ripped things out at the root, and turned over the soil completely, forcing us to see things differently and cut away what no longer served us. Another new beginning in the house where Ta**us lives for you.
Finally, we can begin putting intentions in place that feel more grounded, secure, sustainable, and aligned.
For me, Ta**us rules my 11th house of networking, friendships, hopes, dreams, and wishes. I am excited to expand my circle. I had already begun shifting things around as Uranus moved through the final degrees of his stay there…
Now, there is one caveat that didn’t dawn on me when I first began writing this weeks ago. The Fixed Star Algol sits at 26 degrees Ta**us, yes, the infamous Medusa star… “off with your head.”
This is the same fixed star that was activated in Trump’s chart in July 2024. . Algol currently sits on the Midheaven of Trump, Vance, and Netanyahu the highest point in a birth chart representing public reputation, status, and career.
We may see significant and unexpected developments surrounding political or legal battles, along with intense, sudden, and highly public upheavals.
Collectively, Ta**us rules material resources, banking, money, food, land, and literal Earth itself so there could also be surprising events connected to these themes.
A couple of days later, on the 18th, Mercury moves into his home sign of Gemini. Then on the 22nd, we experience a Uranus Cazimi one we have not seen since the 1940s, initiating an entirely new 7 year cycle.
We could hear major news around this time, but overall expect groundbreaking, futuristic insights. Rapid developments in technology, media, communication, AI, and the way information spreads. Gemini rules information; Uranus rules rebellion.
The old structures are cracking.
A new frequency of thought, communication, and consciousness is beginning to emerge… and this New Moon is planting the seeds for what comes next.

Uranus, the last of the outer planets to move signs, enters Gemini tomorrow where he will remain until 2033.

Unlike Pluto and Neptune, Uranus brings upon us rapid changes, unexpected events and shakeups. It also brings in unique and outside of the box ideas or behaviors.

Notice the next few days what out of the blue stuff shows up for you. Look back to July 7 ~ November 7, 2025 when he dipped his toe in. What themes were happening for you back then may likely be the themes that show up within the next 8 years.

Collectively there will be many breakthroughs in technology, communication and learning which are all Gemini characteristics. Think of it as a “liberation of the mind." Expect rapid shifts in how we consume information, AI advancement, and innovations in transportation. This transit sparks a "new renaissance" in media, intellectual curiosity, and a shift away from fixed thinking.

As mentioned in my Video this month this is The United States Uranus return as well as Trump. Uranus in Gemini coincides in history with the Revolutionary War, Civil War and World War 2. With Pluto in Aquarius (for the people) Neptune in Aries (spiritual warrior) now Uranus in Gemini (the great awakener) expect change my friends. Trumps return will unite with his sun and his north node of destiny in his 10th house of career. What will he say or do next folks!!!!

If you are a Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo or Pisces this transit will affect you the most. I have the Moon and North Node in Gemini ~ Sun and Mercury in Sagittarius ~ Pluto, Uranus and Mars in Virgo and Saturn in Pisces. Yikes do not be surprised if I dye my hair Pink and move to a remote Island!

We are all a part of a major turning point in history. Love your neighbor, vibe high, have no fear. We will get through this together
