There’s a moment when you realize: this path doesn’t fit anymore.

In this episode, Michelle opens up about the moment she knew it was time to leave the career she spent decades building—and how scary, freeing, and aligned it finally felt to choose something different.

We talk about permission to pivot, redefining success, and what it really looks like to listen to your gut—even when there’s no clear roadmap.

Whether you’re at a major crossroads or just craving more purpose in the day-to-day, this episode will leave you feeling seen, supported, and inspired to check in with what you actually want next.

This week, we’re sharing what it’s really like to build a family as two moms — the decisions we’ve faced, the unexpected emotions, and the truth about navigating IVF as an LGBTQ+ couple.

We’re reflecting on the questions we wrestle with even now: When is the right time for baby #2? How do we manage grief, hope, and uncertainty all at once? And what happens when the path looks nothing like we expected?

Whether you're on your own fertility journey, supporting someone who is, or just curious what it's like behind the scenes — this episode is for you.

In this episode, we open up about what it’s really like to take the road less traveled—from choosing to stay true to our sexuality at a young age and loving one another unapologetically, to stepping out on our own as a young LGBTQ couple, leaving traditional career paths, and building a family through IVF.

We’re sharing the messy, magical truth of choosing a life that doesn’t follow the rules—and the big, bold leaps we’ve taken to build the one we truly wanted.

We talk about trusting your gut, redefining success, and embracing the detours that make your journey uniquely yours. If you’ve ever felt behind, out of sync, or like your life doesn't fit the mold—this episode is your reminder that your timeline is exactly right.

In our very first episode, we’re pulling back the curtain and inviting you into our world. Meet your hosts, Michelle and Lisa Cast—longtime partners, moms, and co-navigators through IVF, NICU stays, career transitions, and everything in between. We’re sharing why we created The Cast Compass, what this podcast means to us, and how astrology helped us find clarity in some of life’s most overwhelming moments. Whether you're a millennial mom, navigating a big life change, or just looking for real, unfiltered conversations with a side of astrology—you’re in the right place.
