This episode explores autumn as a season of urgency, transition, and impending hibernation, and how our relationship with weather mirrors our relationship with work, productivity, and rest. It connects the seasonal cycle to the menstrual cycle, arguing that the authority, boundaries, and raw expression associated with the luteal phase (PMS) are qualities society often asks women to suppress. Ultimately, it invites us to notice the tension between autumn’s remaining energy and winter’s pull toward slowing down, reflection, and regeneration—and to honour that transition rather than resisting it.

Whether you're an avid side-quester or a lover of mythopoetic questing – there's something to be said about 'the art of a quest'. In this episode, I break down the 4 phases:1. manic mapping2. go hiking3. enjoy the summit4. go home integrationI share my channelled framework of questing, and I elaborate on the importance of phases 3 & 4. The two phases our society rarely makes time for – as our problems are imminent, urgent and demand we ONLY explore phases 1 & 2 on repeat; until something sticks. It rarely does.I also mention ‪@MarthaBeckauthor‬ and her podcast The Gathering Room. How I came across her work during my concussion recovery (in April) and how her latest podcast about finite and infinite games connects to Questing.

"Shibari" is the Japanese art of decorative rope bondage. Often associated within sexual kink, I explore it in the content of a tarot reading and where the 8 of Swords was pulled. In the collective reading, insight was received that anything we don't like in our lives, at one point we chose, we loved it, it was the fulfillment of some sort of fantasy. Like a lover who is tied up and their body begins to panic – the opportunity is to ask ourselves: how can I find pleasure in this? Knowing part of me once longed for this situation. What do I need now to enjoy this dynamic so I can move through it with curiosity and trust?

In this episode I unpack why I'm no longer interested in learning from people who have solved the problem I am looking to solve. I firmly believe the marketing of "I've been there, done that" is old paradigm and tired – it doesn't work because when we "arrive" we no longer have no momentum invested in that problem. So the very idea of bringing others along for the ride is backwards; counter-momentum if you will. Our best approach is to find and attract people who are in the mud with us. Desperately seeking and actively working to solve the same problem. I see a collapse of hierarchical mentorship and a rise in peer-to-peer (or copactivation) mentorship. A new approach to transformation grounded in shared curiosity rather than saviorism. 🐝 The Nuggets: “What if your magic is that you're in the mud with people—not ahead of them, not behind them, but right there too?” “The best people to support you are the ones who are currently experiencing the same problem in a different context.” “When someone’s already solved the problem, they’ve closed the loop. There’s no hunger left—and hunger is what makes us move.” “New paradigm transformation has no hierarchy. No one’s ahead, no one’s behind—we’re just in different orbs, solving different pieces.” “The more you accept your current sphere, the faster you meet the people who belong there too—and then everything starts to change.” 📚 Resources: Copactivate post on my blog The Cronicle ⚜️ Keywords & Themes: Peer-based learning, energetic resonance, coaching culture, transformation, collapse of hierarchy, online course fatigue, shared lived experience, authentic growth, prescriptive paths, divine timing, new paradigm, creative process over outcomes

I am very much sitting before two paths and I can hold both of them with ease and tension. One is the path we all know and are raised to believe is the pathway to success. In this audio I explore how the greatest magnetizer is assimilation and belonging. It's primal. The relief that comes with "Oh, I did the thing I'm supposed to. The thing we all do." And then there's another pathway that whispers possibility. One where timing is illusive. Fate is unclear. The quest is constantly in question. But what if it may actually be the pathway to my unique success? 🐝 Favourite One-Liners: "I think I'm constantly amazed at how many people lean in when you lean out." "I feel like I'm holding two alternate realities—one rooted in safety and belonging, and the other in soul-led expansion." "Time is our greatest collaborator. If divinity herself showed up, she'd arrive as the sands in the hourglass." "The fork in the road is where we hold tension—and it's also where something new can emerge." "What if the next step is not just saying no, but being open to receiving what leans in when you do?" ⚜️ Keywords & Themes: Soul-led path, the art of negotiation, dual realities, contracted co-founder, order from chaos, embodied strategy, void season, initiation, belonging vs. sovereignty, divinity as time, transformation, spiritual upleveling, immersive, place-based work, ceremonial business, surrender and recalibration

I am deep in a season of "actually . . . no thank you" – and this is new for me! By exploring my transition from reflexive yeses (people-pleasing and overcommitment) to boundaried no's, I am discovering the magic in-between. This podcast is all about tuning into your internal compass, trusting the nuance and changing your mind without shame. 🦋 Main Takeaways: Your “yes” and “no” hold energy. If something doesn't serve you, it doesn’t serve the other person either. Reflexive responses are coping mechanisms. Healing isn’t about switching from automatic yeses to automatic no’s. It's about cultivating discernment and honoring the space in between. It's okay to change your mind. Whether it’s work, relationships, or creative opportunities, you always have the option to revoke your consent. Somatic wisdom is key. Body signals (like procrastination, dread, or anxiety) are often the first indicators that something’s misaligned. Freedom is in flexibility. The ability to revisit or reverse a decision with curiosity (rather than shame) opens doors to more aligned opportunities. Boundaries don’t block magic, they invite it. Saying “no” (or “not right now”) can make room for surprisingly expansive and abundant opportunities. 🔗 Links: Somatic course You Make Sense by Sarah BaldwinHuman design expert Julie Fedele --------- ⚜️ Keywords & Themes: reflexive yes, reflexive no, boundaried no, somatic intelligence, nervous system healing, Human Design, 5/1, people-pleasing, discernment, energetic alignment, permission to pause, softening your decisions with curiosity, divine feminine, decision-making, season of discernment

Truly, I'm having a moment about Benny Blanco. I didn't know who he was before, I wasn't all that interested . . . but now he has my attention. Why?! 🧡 Because is the the purest, brightest orange, embodied Sacral chakra I have ever seen. He creates from the most unencumbered place and everything he touches amplifies the creativity of others. 💚 Selena on the otherhand has a big heart. She is known for this and although it's her biggest blessing, it also comes with a tenderness that others are quick to criticize. 💛 In listening to their album together, I Said I Love You First, I am becoming aware of how together they are amplifying the Solar chakra. The energy centre for our sense of Self. What do you get when you pair the Sacral chakra with Heart chakra, you get both and one in between. I am very tuned into what these two people are putting out because it they individually hold very concentrated energies that when combined – create something magnetic. Your thoughts? If you do nothing else today watch this video of Benny Blanco's showing you around his house on Architectural Digest. ⚜️ Keywords: intuition, trends, cultural wave, chakras, sacral chakra, heart chakra, solar plexus, Benny Blanco, Selena Gomez, creativity, inner child, play, energy archetypes, cultural observation, energetic resonance, emotional influence, authenticity, internal family systems (IFS), symbolic alignment

DISCLAIMER: This is entirely a working theory. I am a work in progress in my education of unlearning gender terms. If I have misstepped, do tell me. Today's episode is a short and sweet musing about how the Christian faith unknowingly prescribes to a transitioned God. As the creator of all life, we would assume God has female reproductive anatomy – a uterus – or that which houses and grows all human life. Yet, devoted followers of Christianity refer to God ONLY as he/him.  I very much believe in a non-binary God, but since dogmatic faiths tend to think in black and white, the logic leads one to believe that God is indeed a female. But identifies as a man?! Ironic, since so much transphobia comes from the Christian church. Reference: Karamo Brown (of Queer Eye) on Rich Roll's podcast can be listened to here. Enjoy :)

This episode has been knocking at the door of my psyche for the past week – ever since I finished Paul Coelho's Eleven Minutes and began unpacking my thoughts on the subject matter. This season in my life is not one of experience but one of confronting my own thoughts on BDSM. I used to pride myself on being the type of lover who would never say no to trying new things, but rather reply with "not yet". In this past month, I have been confronting that belief, as I have unintentionally entered a season of BDSM. It started with a Hinge profile I found increasingly more triggering and became a full-fledged season when the show I was watching, Normal People, took a dark turn. Both of these touchpoints presented me with the opportunity to explore my discomfort around women finding pleasure in humiliation and/or submission to a male partner. In this episode, I discuss how BDSM is a common kink in the fitness industry, why I take issue with straight white men only wanting to be the Dom, and how sex is the most vulnerable, ever-changing, and present thing that we do.  I am a firm believer that the dynamics in any sexual encounter should be a reflection of how we feel in that moment, rather than a definitive role one must prescribe to. Predetermined roles are counter-intuitive and the opposite of the nautral world. Have a listen. Explore these themes with your friends and partner, and most of all reflect on your own beliefs. My BDSM touchpoints and where you can find them: Normal People is a book by Sally Rooney that was turned into a television series by the BBC. It is currently on Amazon Prime here.  Eleven Minutes by Paulo Coelho Relationship experts (on Instagram) speaking about trauma and how it shows up in our relationships: Dr. Nicole LePera (Psychologist) as @the.holistic.psychologist Esther Perel (Psychotherapist x NYT Bestselling Author) as @estherperelofficial Mark Groves (Human Connection Specialist) as @createthelove Guiding tarot: The Hanged One - left.

Happy Sunday, I knew I had to record this episode because my inner knowing was so clear and immediate that someone needs to hear this – or maybe I just needed to hear myself. I talk about the popularity of Clairvoyance (see images) and Clairaudience (hearing voices) as the expectation and default for being intuitive, and how I receive messages differently. I give the example of how I chose the wrong colour of journal for my business and that my inner knowing was relentless that it had to be green instead of periwinkle. I receive information from my intuition through my "knowing" which is a psychic gift known as Claircognizance. As promised here are the most commonly known intuitive gifts: Clairvoyance (see images) Clairaudience (hearing voices) Clairsentience (recognizing feelings) Clairolfaction (psychic smells) Clairgustance (psychic tasting) Claircognizance (knowing) MOST IMPORTANTLY: Please note this list is not definitive. There are many more ways we can connect with our inner guide and as humans, we are limited in our comprehension and language. Additionally, I believe what I provided is a working list so please let me know of gifts I have missed. I also mention my lovely friend Ellen and a conversation she had with her co-host about our desire to receive information via our eyes and ears. I don't know the exact podcast but you can listen to any/all of their episodes here. I HIGHLY recommend giving Woo Knew a listen. Lastly, I finished recording at 11:11 AM, and (imo) that's a sign!!! Guiding tarot: Motherpeace's 10 of Cups reversed. There is a collective connection to the source and our individual emotions. A rejoice is happening, that may be overzealous and happening too quickly. Find me: On ig at @janweile for entrepreneurship and dog videos, or @colourmyaura for ceremonies and spiritual downloads.

I CAN'T STAND IT! Super fired up today, probably related to eclipse season and all other f*****y in the cosmos.  Synopsis: I recently finished a few shifts on a film set where I was IMMEDIATELY reminded how some industries/companies have leaders who avoid taking personal responsibility and use performance reviews to hide their own inadequacies.  In this share, I go to town on how "underperformance" isn't real, and how it is used by managers who have not properly trained or clearly communicated their expectations. I also break down the responsibilities the employee has when they have been assessed as "unfit for the role" – and provide a basic strategy for communicating their needs. Nothing works me up more than unfairly treated employees in the workplace. So the next time you hear: "Prove Yourself" or "Do You Know Who You Are Talking To?" please refer to this podcast, reach out to me, and know that I am aggroed too. I have a zero-tolerance policy for this archaic, abuse of power, delusion many workplaces are still enforcing. F*ck that shit - you deserve better. Everyone does! Guiding Tarot: Motherpeace's World (XXI) up and slight right. Description: We are breaking free into a new cycle. The old is completed and many new things are now possible since she has done her work. She wants to be done with the past and move on to the new life (heck yes I do!) Find me: On ig at @janweile for entrepreneurship and dog videos, or @colourmyaura for ceremonies and spiritual downloads.

This was my third go at recording this message and in it, you'll hear why. Recently I have questioned my process as a creator because I so lovingly believe(d) in the power of just getting it out there that I rarely took the time to finesse or value what it was that I created. I discovered that my worth is impacted by this belief and that in order to create something with value and true impact, I need to take myself and what I create seriously. I now see that I was devaluing my words, my time, my talent, and my energy but half-assing it. My commitment going forward is to invest in myself (hair and possibly make-up) and in this podcast, by recording it with intention and clarity. I am now creating with the belief that what I have to offer is a gift and who I am is a work of art. The Power of a Purge is about clearing out stagnant chi from your mind, body, and spirit – on a cellular level. It is about getting rid of the thoughts and memories stored in your being that take up space and prevent you from receiving what you want to come through. It's time for a daily spring cleaning! Intuitives I rate and mention in this episode include: Ainslie MacLeod the author of The Instruction: Living the Life Your Soul Intended Brendan Durrell the intuitive who talked about the importance of uploading on Instagram

This idea came to me today and it is currently marinating. I wholeheartedly believe the evolution of human consciousness is the radical acceptance, belief, and practice of fluid free will. What does this mean? It means that at any given moment we can change who others know us to be without judgment, explanation, or permanence. In this share, I give the example of how far we have collectively come in my short lifetime of 33 years orbiting the sun. In some places in the world, we are no longer limited to the binary. Meaning we can change our sexual preferences, our marital status, our careers, our nationalities, and our gender (just to name a few) - should we choose. The illusion of the world today tells us we can only be certain things, but as we evolve and face our collective trauma and discomfort of the unknown we awaken to our universal oneness. A world where our species is no longer limiting us from connection due to existing identity beliefs. Don't get me wrong, there are cultures, beings, and teachings who have always known this, yet as we "evolved" (or I would suggest "devolved") into a hierarchical society we placed notions around right or wrong, good or evil, boy or girl, gay or straight, etc. Our evolution in consciousness, I believe, is the complete and total acceptance of free will and all of its expressions. This means that we understand: as human beings we are ever presented with opportunities to pivot into a new way of being that contradicts our previous way of existing, and that is okay. In fact, it is more than okay. It is the human experience. Life on the physical plane fully lived in a constant state of fluidity.
