It’s a day early!!! I just could not wait to post this episode!

I open with an astrology update for the New Moon in Virgo 🌝 ♒️ and its square with Mars in Gemini. If you want to skip past this section and dive right into our topic for the day, it starts at 3:38.

This is our 2nd of 5 episodes in our Do The Damn 🦫 Thing series. In this episode we talk about creative wounds and how tend to them. This doesn't mean they go away but rather that you learn how to validate them, give them some comfort, and let them go. They are there, but they don't have to hod as much power as they used to.

Tune in every 🌚 New and 🌝 Full Moon to get grounded in your creative practice and make sure you subscribe to my 💌 newsletter to receive motivation on the 1st & 3rd Quarter moon. This is my next goal I am working but hopefully I can send my first one out this coming week!
