#273 - Overcoming People Pleasing with Heidi Gustafson

Do you try to please everyone? When you're young, being told to be nice, be a good girl, and put others before yourself can make you a people-pleaser. Saying yes to everything is a common trait among people pleasers, which may result in resentment and anger. Because they prioritize the wants and needs of others over their own, people pleasers lack self-awareness and don't know what they want or like. 
In this podcast, Hypnotist and Mindset Coach Heidi Gustafson explains how trying to please other people can lead to perfectionism and living an unauthentic life. Learn how hypnosis is the best way to help you overcome people pleasing and live a more authentic life. 
Heidi Gustafson is a Board-Certified Hypnotist and Mindset Coach, who teaches others the techniques and tools she used to go from being a people pleasing, procrastinating, perfectionist to a woman who sets healthy boundaries, knows what she values, and lives life by HER parameters, not by what her past or society tells her she should. She teaches how our thoughts, stories, and beliefs create our everyday reality, and how if you’re not getting what you want in life, it’s not because THEY or IT need to change. The change needs to come from you. It’s an inside job.

#272 - Weekly Energy Update for June 25, 2023: Neptune Retrograde and July Numerology

Neptune, the planet of illusions and fantasy, goes retrograde in Pisces this week, helping us to understand ourselves and gain clarity. This is the perfect moment to reevaluate our lives and get clear about what we truly want.
Since Neptune is the planet that can lead to confusion and uncertainty, when it goes retrograde, we experience clarity instead of confusion and uncertainty. If you’ve been struggling to see things clearly, the fog lifts over the following five months of Neptune's retrograde. 
Neptune is the planet of spirituality, and its retrograde strengthens our intuition and connection to the universe. We may feel more drawn to mystical experiences, meditation, and spiritual practices. This is the time to attend a drumming circle, take a sound bath, or try something new to deepen your spirituality.
Our creativity is at its peak during Neptune retrograde, especially when it comes to music, writing, and the arts. Now is the time to begin writing that book, learn to paint, and pick up a guitar or set of drums.  Neptune's retrograde brings us a spark of inspiration.
July is a 5 universal month in Numerology. Five months are the perfect time to be adventurous and shake things up. The month of July is perfect for breaking old habits and getting unstuck. The number 5 is restless and adventurous. It doesn’t do boring and wants variety and excitement in life. It also sparks new ideas, solutions, and clarity.
Even while it may appear that not much is happening right now on the outside, there is a ton going on within. We are becoming clear about what we genuinely want and the next steps to take. Give yourself this time; the rest of the year will thank you.

#270 - Weekly Energy Update for June 18, 2023: Summer Solstice and Cancer Season

The Summer Solstice, on Wednesday, is the main event this week. For millennia, people have held celebrations, rituals, and gatherings in celebration of the summer solstice. Ancient civilizations erected buildings that coincide with the solstice, such as Stonehenge and Machu Picchu. The solstice is a time of renewal, growth, and abundance. 
The summer solstice is a cosmic invitation to step into the spotlight of your own life. It’s a moment when the universe supports your personal growth and transformation. 
This year's solstice is extraordinary due to a special connection between the sun and the north node of fate. These are two of the most crucial placements in astrology when it comes to fulfilling your life’s purpose. When the sun and north node align, as they will with 2023’s summer solstice, it’s a sign from the universe to bet on yourself.
The solstice is also when the sun enters Cancer and the start of Cancer season. Cancer season brings nurturing, homebody energy as we move away from the busy, social vibes of Gemini season. It’s all about heart and home and it’s the ideal moment to mother yourself and others. This is cosmic mama energy!
The Sun is associated with active yang energy. The contradiction is that Cancer is ruled by the emotional moon and rules the receptive yin energy. This makes it the perfect time to consider how we can balance the yin and yang in our lives. Where are you able to be a bit kinder?  Where could you yang it up and be more decisive and take action?
The solstice is like our cosmic reset button. This is our opportunity to hit the reset button and get back in balance!

#269 - Weekly Energy Update for June 4, 2023: Sagittarius Full Moon and Venus in Leo

June is one of the most positive months of the year. The intense eclipse season and Mercury retrograde are behind us, so this month's energy shift brings in a new and exciting beginning to our next chapter.
Since connections with others are a major feature this month, it is appropriate that June is named after the Roman goddess Juno, who was the patroness of marriage and love. June's energy links us to others in heart-centered ways since it straddles both the caring Cancer season and the sociable Gemini season. We want to socialize with others, spend time with friends, go on dates, and find love.
On June 5th, when Venus, the planet of love, moves into the fire sign Leo, this love energy truly comes to life. This is the perfect energy for falling and being in love this summer.
And we are still basking in the optimistic energy of Saturday night’s full moon in Sagittarius. 
Full moons are a time of release. We’re releasing our outdated versions. We’re releasing ways of thinking and being that we’ve outgrown. This full moon is about looking back on where we were six months ago and how far we’ve come. And to think about the future and consider what’s next.
With the help of this full moon, we can let go of the version of ourselves from six months ago and step into our new identity. This full moon is preparing us for our next quest. We are getting rid of items that won't fit in our baggage or backpack as we prepare for the quest. We're releasing things that won't be needed on the journey.
This full moon gives us the confidence to move forward. We feel so optimistic about the future and where we’re going!

#268 - Weekly Energy Update for May 28, 2023: Full Moon in Sagittarius

These final few days of May are special. The Sun crosses the star Aldebaran every year between May 28 and May 31. Aldebaran is one of the Four Royal Stars. The Royal Stars serve as both the guardians of the sky and gateways to higher realms of consciousness. When the Sun activates Aldebaran it sharpens our minds. This energy is sweet, sweet medicine for our mental health.
We begin the abundant and happy month of June this week. According to numerology, June is a 4 universal month. A four month is about laying the groundwork for the future. We’re building the base and foundation for this next chapter of our life.
On Saturday, June 3rd, we feel uplifted by a Full Moon in Sagittarius. This is the last full moon of spring and it’s known as the Strawberry Moon. The Strawberry Moon is a symbol of good luck, happiness, and growth. And serves as a reminder that there will always be better days ahead no matter what difficulties we face in life.
Sagittarius is an optimistic sign that only wants to focus on the positives. This Full Moon is much lighter than the ones we’ve experienced recently. It holds a playful vibe, reminding us to make time for fun, joy, and adventure. Step out of your comfort zone and try some new things. 
Unlike a New Moon, which is about starting something new, the Full Moon is about reflecting on what we planted six months ago, and how it’s coming to fruition. It gets us to think about what comes next. Sagittarius inspires us to look into the future toward our biggest goals and set our path toward them.

#267 - Weekly Energy Update for May 21, 2023: Gemini Season

Gemini season has arrived! Now we’re back to reality. Eclipse season is over making life a little more predictable and we begin to feel more optimistic. We're more outgoing and sociable and will want to go out with our friends and have fun. 
Gemini is represented by the twins. The twins represent our body and soul, one twin being mortal and the other immortal. The immortal twin serves as a reminder that our soul is eternal and that we are spiritual beings, while the mortal twin serves as a reminder that life is fleeting and that we are here to enjoy a physical experience.
To be our full selves, we must step fully into both. This Gemini season helps us bring the two into balance and restore our equilibrium after the wild ride we’ve experienced the past few months.
Right now we need to lighten up and have fun to get back into balance. Geminis don’t take themselves too seriously. They love to laugh and have fun. It’s time to shake off the fuddy-duddy and welcome the new.
Gemini season is also an excellent time to slim down. We’ve had some heavy energies lately and to hold those energies you may have put on a little weight. Losing weight is easier than usual now because the energies are lighter.
We get some help moving forward and getting our projects off the ground with powerful Mars in Leo energy. There's no stopping us when Mars, the planet of power and action is in the enthusiastic sign of Leo. We get a major boost of self-confidence, and we become more determined and optimistic. Mars is Leo is the burst of energy we’ve been waiting for!

#266 - Weekly Energy Update for May 14, 2023: Jupiter in Taurus and New Moon in Taurus

This week marks a turning point. Mercury Retrograde ends on the 14th although we'll still be in the retroshade energy for the next couple of weeks.
This space between Mercury retrograde and Mercury direct is the time to reflect on what’s happened over the past month. We are now processing what we have gone through. And as a result of all this processing, this is frequently a time when we make significant life choices.
We get some help implementing these life-changing decisions when Jupiter, the planet of abundance and wisdom, enters Taurus for the first time in 12 years. Jupiter in Taurus helps things grow. Our new lives start to grow. We’re gradually moving into our new ways of being. 
We could not possibly have better energy than this right now. This is the perfect moment to start new things, even if you are unsure about how they will pan out. This is a seed-planting moment. We are growing something beautiful and long-lasting. 
Do you know what else is growing? Our money! Jupiter in Taurus brings good fortune. Investments pay off and we receive expected pleasant surprises. This is a great time to start a business or a new job. 
The first lunar cycle since the start of Eclipse Season occurs on Friday with the New Moon in Taurus. The chaotic and transformative energies of the Eclipses start to calm down and fade into the background.
This New Moon grounds and stabilizes us, which feels great after all the chaotic energies of the Eclipse season. We have been through a lot of change, and taking some time to ground and rebalance ourselves helps us reconnect to a state of ease.

#265 - Weekly Energy Update for May 7, 2023: Venus in Cancer Brings a Big Cosmic Dose of Gentleness

We've made it through the eclipses! But eclipse energy doesn’t end when the eclipse is over. It'll last for another couple of weeks. The powerful Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio that happened on Friday was all about endings, closure, and life-altering events.
All of these changes can be unsettling. What I love about the changes that happen during eclipse season is that they are fated. Destiny. Just knowing that whatever unexpected events have happened are meant to be might bring some peace of mind. 
The good news is that starting on May 7th, when Venus, the planet that rules love, enters caring, sensitive Cancer, we begin to feel some relief. This transit just brings a big cosmic dose of gentleness. It is as though the universe is wrapping us up in a big spiritual blanket, giving us a forehead kiss, and tucking us into bed.
This energy also brings the warm, fuzzy feeling of domestic bliss. You’ll want to light some candles, cook dinner at home, cuddle up to watch movies, and piddle. This is prime piddle around the house energy and an excellent time for sprucing up your home and garden.
We have one more week of Mercury Retrograde. Pluto is also retrograde now. With Venus in Cancer and these two powerful retrogrades, we are being urged to slow down and make every move more mindful. Since we are still integrating all the changes brought about by the eclipse season and the two major planetary moves in March of Saturn and Pluto, this time is a blessing in its own way.
We’re not the same people we were a couple of months ago. We have an opportunity to BE our new versions when the Sun and Uranus align on Tuesday. Switch up your daily routine, dress differently, learn new things, and BE this new version that may not feel natural - instead of just talking about it.

#264 - Weekly Energy Update for April 30, 2023: Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio

We begin the month of May in the thick of Eclipse Season. We had a powerful solar eclipse a few days ago, and this week on Friday, the 5th, there will be a lunar eclipse in Scorpio. 
While a solar eclipse opens the door to new beginnings and change, a lunar eclipse helps us complete our shift to the new. Full Moon Eclipses bring endings, closure, and transformative events that move us from one state of consciousness to another. 
This eclipse is an opportunity to create significant change in your life.  Lunar eclipses bring us information from out of nowhere. Some of the things you learn could catch you off guard. Not all of the information is bad.  It could provide you with the motivation and inspiration you need to make changes in your life.
It’s also important to understand that everything is happening to move you forward. We’re getting an energetic push from the universe to move us out of stuck energy and old patterns. This eclipse is our opportunity to step into our power. It’s here to remind us of our power and point out where we are limiting ourselves.
One thing that stands out under this Eclipse is some of the magic symbolism and synchronicities behind it. This Eclipse falls on the 5th day of the 5th month at 14 degrees of Scorpio. The number 14 adds up to five as well, making the 5 energies very strong.
The number 5 is all about change and is a master about being able to go with the flow.  It is happiest when things are fresh and full of possibilities. The only thing this number is truly attached to is being unattached.
Being unattached and going with the flow is the way to embrace this time. Fated events are taking place. You can’t change fate.  Accept what may come and know that this is exactly the transformation you need to make in your life at this time. Surrender to the timing. Allow whatever comes to come, and allow whatever goes to go.
This energy is part of a continuous path that will continue all year. Allow yourself to naturally transform. You are precisely where you need to be right now for your highest evolution. Be gentle to yourself. Remember to be kind to others, as they are going through these intense energies as well.
