podcast Dec 16, 2021

Fall is ending. 2021 is ending. The podcast season is ending. (The pandemic does not seem to be ending...) And our resident astrologer Virginia Rosenberg is back on the podcast to share about many things of note going on in the cosmos.

The big highlights: there’s Pluto/Venus conjunction in Capricorn this month, a Venus Retrograde, and Saturn and Uranus are directly square again too.

If all this sounds like mumbo-jumbo to you - but you’re curious - Virginia explains it with...

Episode 89: About harmony (and why Iā€™m taking a sabbatical), with Elissa

podcast Dec 09, 2021

What does harmony mean to you? For me, it’s about living in alignment with and acceptance of all that’s going on.

In this last solo episode of the season, I share how - slowly but surely - over the past six months I’ve started really listening to the voice inside of me that’s letting me know I need a big break.

I’ll explain my plans to take a sabbatical and reflect on the uncertainty of not knowing what comes next. Here’s what I can trust: I know that by...

Episode 88: About looking out for each other, with Harper Spero

podcast Dec 02, 2021

In 2012, Harper Spero learned she had a tumor in her lungs the size of a golf ball. After her subsequent surgery and that transformational experience, Harper began taking radically good care of herself. This included changing her health routines, and also starting her own business so she could be in charge of her work habits.

When the pandemic hit, Harper became outspoken about her experience as an immunocompromised person, and the importance of making personal decisions that support the...

Episode 87: About grit and redemption, with Coss Marte

podcast Nov 18, 2021

When he was 23 years old, Coss Marte was removed from the streets of the Lower East Side and sentenced to 7 years in prison. In jail, Coss quickly learned that he was in extremely poor health. So he started working out in his cell and in the prison yard. Soon other inmates joined him. Then, an organization called Defy Ventures showed up at the facility and helped him learn how to turn his passion for fitness into a business venture.

When Coss was released, he returned to the Lower East Side...

Episode 86: About talking to people you disagree with, with Josh Trent

podcast Nov 11, 2021

One day this fall, I was scrolling through my Instagram feed, when I saw a post from my friend Josh. It was a screenshot of Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s response to President Biden’s mask mandate. Gov. Abbott wrote “Biden’s vaccine mandate is an assault on private businesses” and below in the caption Josh wrote, “I DO NOT comply.”

My first thought was “Eesh, I need to unfollow my friend Josh.” But as my finger moved to hover over the...

Episode 85: About resistance, with Elissa

podcast Nov 04, 2021

When you think of the word resistance, what comes up for you? My guess is that you (and most of us) think of resistance as something bad; as something to be avoided. But let’s ask a different question: What is resistance good for?

I would argue that resistance - which I’ll define as the experience of feeling pressure between ourselves and something outside of us - is good for helping us understand and define who we are.

In this solo episode that sets the month’s theme,...

Episode 83: About staying creative and inspired, with Sean Brennan

podcast Oct 21, 2021

Sean Brennan is my friend and collaborator, an incredible musician, and the editor of this podcast. And today I’m bringing him in front of the mic to share with us about his creative process.

A lot of us have been taught that being creative and making art requires diligence and routine. Sean’s here to argue that routine can often be the enemy of creativity. So instead, what can you do today to mix things up? To change your perspective? I’ll say, this is all stuff I really...

This episode comes to you in the middle of Mercury Retrograde, and also includes a discussion of the major 2021 transit of Saturn square Uranus, plus entering the Age of Air.

Episode 81: About balance, with Elissa

podcast Oct 07, 2021

When you hear the word ‘balance,’ what do you think of? Work-life balance? Balancing on one leg? Balancing your checkbook?...

Welcome back to a new season of the podcast... this month our theme is Balance, and in this episode, I want to encourage you to examine your understanding of that idea. You may think balance is a fixed, perfect center point that you have to strive for. But in reality, balance is dynamic and spacious. And falling or failing are important parts of continuing...
