In a world that constantly tells us who we should be, finding our true identity can feel like an uphill battle. Many of us struggle to balance our authentic selves with the roles and expectations society places on us. In the face of this life's complexities, horoscopes can offer meaningful ways for self-discovery and empowerment. Horoscopes aren’t just about predictions—they are a tool to help us feel more centered, confident, and accepting of ourselves. They provide a sense of validation and reassurance that goes beyond external labels, supporting us on our path toward inner peace and authentic self-expression.In this episode, we’re joined by Ophira Edut to answer this week’s one-million-dollar question: Why should you check your horoscope?

Featured on Bravo, MTV, Good Morning America, and the Today Show, she also created the astrology-based reality TV show Cosmic Love. Her upcoming book, The Astrology Advantage, introduces the IAM System, simplifying birth charts into three archetypes. Her work on "spiritual technology" for business success has been highlighted in Fast Company and global leadership conferences.

What is it that truly drives you? What if your work could be a reflection of your unique purpose, aligning your deepest values with what you do every day? Many of us struggle with feelings of inadequacy and imposter syndrome, wondering if we’re really in the right place or living up to our true potential. Imagine a path where you uncover your natural strengths, connect with your authentic self, and let go of the pressure to be someone you’re not. When career and purpose align, work becomes more than a job—it becomes a fulfilling extension of who you are, empowering you to face challenges with confidence and clarity. Embracing this alignment can transform how you navigate your career, letting purpose guide you toward both fulfillment and success.

In this episode, we talk about how human design could be a tool to achieve your dreams and find your motivation and purpose in your work with a returning guest, Zach Carlsen. Zach has been coaching and educating professionally for the last decade. The core and foundation of his work is human design, a modern science containing ancient systems for exploring the nature of being. He holds advanced academic degrees in pedagogy, literature, and French, as well as certifications from Gallup Inc. in Clifton Strengths coaching and SSC in human design coaching. In 2021, he obtained his master coach certification from Elementum Coaching Institute.

Have you been feeling stuck, anxious, and disconnected from yourself? Anxiety is a real challenge that many women grapple with, impacting both their emotional and physical well-being. It can show up as a constant feeling of fear, worry, and restlessness or even manifest physically through symptoms like headaches, muscle tension, or difficulty breathing.

Have you ever woken up from a dream feeling as though a deceased loved one just visited you but brushed it off as just a regular dream? Sometimes, differentiating dream visitations from ordinary dreams can be challenging. However, unlike typical dreams, these encounters leave you with an undeniable sense of peace, love, and closure rather than confusion or unease. Often, many recall conversations or direct messages from their loved ones, along with a clear sense of their presence. The dream may also include subtle signs, such as a familiar scent or symbol, making the connection feel unmistakable.

In this episode, we discuss metaphysical experiences, how to distinguish regular dreams from visitation dreams, who is more prone to having this experience, and how to start asking spirits for signs with a returning guest, Lea Morgan. Lea is a psychic medium who offers mediumship and intuitive guidance readings. After a career in advertising and interior design, Lea couldn’t shake the pull to fully open up to and understand her intuitive gifts.

Her story is one that shows how spirit can guide you throughout your life by providing the opportunities and experiences needed to hone your skills and ultimately be of service to others. Lee hopes to normalize the perception of psychic work by sharing her own journey openly through workshops, interviews, and information on her website.

• “Our power for being our truest selves is rooted in feeling comfortable in who we are; not sharing your truth is minimizing your truth.” [10:55]

Sometimes, the biggest obstacle standing between us and the life we truly want is ourselves. We get caught up in the expectations of others, seeking external validation and fulfillment, all while losing sight of what really matters to us. Accountability, both to ourselves and to others, is key to breaking this cycle. It empowers us to focus on what is truly meaningful, shifting from external pressures to a more authentic, self-directed path. By taking ownership of our choices and actions, we can make small, consistent changes that lead to lasting transformation. It’s never too late to redefine your life, let go of self-imposed limitations, and start living with purpose and fulfillment.

After succeeding with the program, she became a lifestyle coach at All In, helping clients build lasting lifestyles through movement, clean eating, and positive mindset adjustments. Bonnie has transformed hundreds of lives, trained new coaches, and passionately advocates for the All In community.

Relieve Menopause & Perimenopause Symptoms
with Myofascial Release

For so many women, the symptoms of menopause and perimenopause—such as joint pain, fatigue,
sleep disturbances, and hot flashes—can significantly impact their quality of life. Myofascial release,
a gentle hands-on therapy, offers a holistic approach to alleviating these symptoms by targeting the
fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles and organs. By releasing tension and improving
mobility, myofascial release helps relieve pain, enhance relaxation, and restore balance within the
body. This non-invasive therapy supports the body's natural healing processes, providing an effective
way to manage the discomforts associated with menopause and perimenopause.

release can be an option to help you navigate and alleviate some of these symptoms with a return
guest, Karen Remele. Karen's journey began as a modern jazz dancer and instructor until a horrific
motorcycle accident changed her life. She is now dedicated to helping others live pain-free existences
and educating them on the benefits of myofascial release. Karen is both a licensed physical therapist
assistant and a licensed massage therapist. Ultimately, she became a student and expert instructor at

Have you been feeling disconnected from yourself, stuck in old patterns, or weighed down by unresolved emotions? Reset breathwork offers a powerful way to transform your sense of self-worth by helping you release stored emotional energy from your body. Unlike other practices, reset breathwork allows you to process emotions without getting caught up in the stories or memories attached to them. This creates space for healing, deeper self-awareness, and a renewed sense of connection to your inner strength. And the most beautiful experience is that as you drop into your body and let go of emotional blockages, you start to rebuild your beliefs, cultivate self-trust, and align with your true potential.

In this episode, we talk about reset breath work, why it’s so effective, and how it can help you drop into your body and reconnect with yourself with a returning guest, Kate. Kate is a business and embodiment coach who describes herself as an inner power activator on a mission to help women reclaim the power within to develop their businesses from a place of inner strength. With a master's degree in coaching and certification in over 20 modalities, including inner child work, parts work, and breathwork, Kate has deeply invested in her spirituality and credits Tarot with saving her life by deepening her connection to her inner voice.

For the past seven years, she has used Tarot to help clients quickly access deeper insights, lower their defences, tap into their intuition, and clear away the blocks holding them back. Through the processes of embodying clarity, rebuilding beliefs, and reintegrating parts, Kate creates a dynamic space for solo-led women to reclaim their voices, stand in their unshakable worth, and make business decisions aligned with their highest selves.

• “If you are feeling stuck and stagnant, disconnected from your body, or stuck in a pattern that is holding you back from doing what you desire to do, breath work is key.” [22:57]
