Ghosting, Guilt, and Getting Back
Hey there, lovely souls. First off, let me start by saying I know. I've been a bit elusive lately. Gone rogue. Pulled some Houdini acts. Or, in millennial terms, I've been ghosting. Gasp, I admit it. As someone who's deeply connected to her emotions (hello, fellow empaths!), this year's events have left me feeling out of sorts. Not just with the global situation but right here in my community in Chicago.
Let's deep dive a bit into my thoughts and feelings - and maybe, just maybe, you'll see a bit of yourself in here, too.

Dive deep with me, Samantha Jo as I navigate the tumultuous waves of Pluto, the reflective energies of Retrogrades, and the grounding spirit of Virgo Season. This episode is a heartfelt exploration into life's unpredictable ebb and flow and the transformative journey of self-discovery. Tune in to gain insight, find healing, and reconnect with yourself in this cosmic conversation.

For many reasons, Pluto has moved into Aquarius, a powerful moment in Astro history. First, Pluto has a way of revealing things that we thought we had worked through and moved on from.
 
Through this moment of purge, I'm learning to have compassion for my shadow - love her better, with more intention. In this episode, I explore my journey of discovering how to befriend my shadow self and make her world beautiful. Through personal reflections, I speak about the importance of embracing the parts of myself that I have been trying to hide away. By embracing my shadow self and giving her a space to exist, I can learn to create a sanctuary environment where she can feel safe and secure. Additionally, I tap into the energy of Pluto, the shift into Aquarius, Pluto Retrograde, and the tools for understanding and caring for our inner selves.
